Separation of Powers
Some quick thoughts about socialized health care:
1) The Federal Govt, or any big govt, will be better at some things than local govt will be. Things like raising armis, dictating foreign policy, and regulating interstate commerce, to name a few. Some things, however, are best left to local authorities or the private sector including education, enforcing penal codes and civil codes, trash collecting, etc.
I Question in this regard where to place healthcare. Certainly it is not beneficial for the federal branches to be involved in day to day oversight of doctors offices. Yet, when staring down the barrel of Avian Flu, we may find it in our hearts, and in the interstate commerce clause, to let big brother help us effectively transport and distribute vaccinations and medications. What is to be done with socialized health care?
2) If rapid trans. and distr. are the assets of social health care, than what are it's liabilities?
The most productive situation for workers is this: Maximum freedom without sacrifing safety and security; The mainframe guidelines of what needs to be done, with as much wiggle room for new, effective strategies as possible. Simply put: The Free Market System!
I Am a firm believer in Free Men working in Free Markets. Granted, with just enough laws enforcing ethics and safety to bolster liberty, not detract from it.
Socialized health care would rid the industry of Competition, effectively weakening the product and taking away the basic check and balance that the capitalist open market provides. This means longer lines, higher prices, worse service, and more people dead or suffering from disease. In short, we become France. (If visiting France, do yourself a favor and don't get hurt. You'll stand in line forever and get bad treatment.) But hey, if you're a french citizen you'd better use it since, after all, you're paying for it anyway.

armis..yeah. All very direct diction, possibly because its reminicent of government class. Health care is a question hardly obscured by emergency situations, as the already capable and informed leaders of NO outreach didn't need blogs clouding the issue with high school propaeduetics of sep. of powers. A Mainframe is a computer terminal. "I Am"... shooting for theogeny with this work? "Granted..." Fragment. As a whole, its a heck of a voice of an authority youv'e got going. Settle down and wait for the content to catch up. Yeah, yeah, being a pompous donkey...thats another persons problem. Write more substance for the herd to sputter about next time will you. See me after class.
