A small sample of what will happen once we hand over the healthcare reins to the government:
Perhaps we could give the government a trial run as a healthcare insurer by letting it handle a smaller prototype to see how it would do. Oh, wait. Medicare reimbursement is going to decline 10 percent (did any of my expenses decline 10 percent last year?); our local government-run city hospital is millions of dollars in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy; and our state’s Medicaid program for children is crying out for funding.
Has the government demonstrated itself worthy of any additional responsibilities?
