That subject is devoted to addressing the government monopoly on taxpayer funded education. One of the problem with using education as a model for health care is that the distinction between taxpayer funded and federally standardized gets murky. Some versions of universal health care systems are both. Education is more federalized than it once was but Mary's point was more about the taxpayer funding issue than the federal one-size-fits-all issue. I can understand the argument for taxpayer funding of health care although I don't support it. But I simply can't understand why anyone would opt for a single federal standard.
