An extreme story by Andrew Klavan
No doubt this will be taken as a scare tactic by those that favor government run healthcare, but examples of this behavior already exist within our country (think of our financial system and how a few people in Washington got to choose which ones survived and which failed, or the automobile companies and which managers were given new powers and which were pushed out by the auto czar).
The article is Klavan’s way of expressing the end that could come about from the government’s desire to control healthcare. This quote sums up, for me, the attitude that appears pervasive in D.C.
“Free people can treat each other justly, but they can’t make life fair. To get rid of the unfairness among individuals, you have to exercise power over them. The more fairness you want, the more power you need. Thus, all dreams of fairness become dreams of tyranny in the end.”
