No disagreement... To me personally, I should admit, the debate is over. I am strongly against collectivist solutions. To the contrary, I think we could very significantly improve the quality and reduce the costs of healthcare through deregulation - and by fighting the culture of "defensive medicine". Regrettably, I find that there is hardly any discussion along these lines.

There is always some sort of a rationing involved when we have a desirable and limited resource. I am not a believer in rationing by committees of bureaucrats and through political connections. In fact, I think this is the worst kind of rationing. This is what we will inevitably get under ANY centralized socialized plan.

Public option.... one needs to be a real true believer - or a member of the media - not to see its purpose. It is a Trojan Horse built of glass. You just look at it, and you see politicians and bureaucrats salivating for money and power.

We are not going to get where we want by making great strides in the wrong direction.
