Right on. In many cases there is a third camp, the subset of 2) that
believes that a) government should control everything and b) they who
are inherently more intelligent than the rest of us (poor dumb
schlucks) and who know what is best for us should run the government.
All three types share the belief: from each according to his
abilities, to each according to his needs. Simply put: if all do not
have equal excellent health care, then you must take from those who do
until all have equally shabby health care.
Apparently no one has let the Canadians flocking over the border for
health care they can't get at home in on the secret that our health
care system is an "atrocious embarrassment".
