So if we can get a decent mandate you have no problem. I have a bunch of general principles that have evolved over the years from study and experience and that I've come to trust. One of them is most definitely not centralized command and control of either the economy or society, something I argued for in my college days. But I'm a pragmatist when it comes down to it. For that reason I'm already on record here as being willing to shift gears and accept centralized control of health care if someone were to actually come up with a workable system. I have seen no indication that a workable design is feasible let alone anyone having designed one. The legislation on the table is certainly not it. With my record as a systems analyst and designer and am confident I could distinguish one were I to encounter it. I continue to search through the weeds for a "eureka" but I'm not optimistic. Nobody, to my knowledge, is proposing that government "do health care". Then, if no one is proposing to "do it," it doesn't matter if government could "do it well" as you claim or not. "And you can't dismiss that our great government does some things very well."
