Passage of the day....

Then there’s national health care, an issue that reveals how boundless the progressive capacity is for both government expansion and self-delusion. The idea that the government could successfully manage the U.S. health care industry (which makes up 15% of the economy) and issue directives and payments to millions of health care providers while improving health outcomes, protecting patient rights, and reducing costs, belongs in books with fairy tales and unicorns.

From here. People are completely delusional if one thinks that government is even remotely capable of providing healthcare that meets the above simple tests. This rush towards collectivism and the failed socialist policies of the 20th century is a catastrophe for all that are caught in its claws.
