Summing it up

April 23, 2007

From Graham, whom I don’t often agree with health-reform wise, comes this nugget:

If you’re a Democrat when you’re young, and a Republican once you get a mortgage, then you’re for private health insurance when you’re well, and you’re for health care reform when you’ve developed chronic disease.

Collectivezed healthcare in a popular government presents substantial risks to the autonomy, liberty, and assess to quality care by the sick because 85% of the people are healthy and that 85% is of course happiest with the healthcare “system” that costs them the least. So in a democracy, the government can take over healthcare, squeze the money out of it to the point that care for serious illness is a farce, and most people are still happy with it and re-elect the politicians.

Healthcare is a private matter.
