Even well-intentioned father figures can make decisions that I wouldn't
want to trust with my health care. I trust myself, and a small number
of people who have earned my trust. I certainly do not trust a bunch
of politicians and bureacrats.

If they are coordinated, sure. That's what central control does. If
the decisions are uncorrelated, then they DO average out. But that
is probably not a useful way of thinking about a geographically
diverse health care system, since what variable are you talking
about that averages out?
