“The ‘health-care reform’ currently touted by Beltway Democrats would take a system that insulates patients from the true cost of their health care — and insulate them more. It’s a scheme for spending even more of OPM (other people’s money). The Soviet Union ran the granddaddy of such schemes, even putting the cradle-to-grave ‘right to health’ in its constitution. If we are smart, we will learn from the Soviets’ failed seventy-year experiment, which succeeded in putting people into early graves.” (03/16/10)
