You just see health care as very different because you are not used to it...

I imagine that's a factor. Some people find gun laws restrictive, for example. Since I have never been in a gun culture, it doesn't seem so to me although I understand where they're coming from.

But novelty presents an important opportunity. When the idea of adding a new restriction arises, we have the opportunity to stop, reflect, and evaluate it to see if we want to take that step. It's not that we would never want to impose another restriction. What I object to is the cavalier way we slide into them unexamined. If the step is weighed and a conscious decision is made to proceed, I can deal with that. It's the mindlessness that bugs me.

I support public schools and roads. I wish we hadn't ventured into Social Security.
