Basic Medicine

This is a perfect write-up of why I am leery of full government monopoly control over healthcare. I could get behind a two-tier system, where the government provides some level of basic coverage to all citizens and then you can buy extra care from private insurers that would reside on top of the basic coverage. Full government control? Fuggedaboutit. My brain cries out in pain just pondering the power of that bureaucracy. And get ready to double your taxes to pay for it.
