Health Care Horror

I read this Walter Williams article and thought it would be good to share here. Among all the dubious, if not downright stupid, proposals oozing up from the new administration like puss out of an infected wound (health care tie-in), you just know that Barry's health care ideas will be as painful as any malady for which one would seek medical attention (health care tie-in). I always hear lefties make claims about death rates and such being better in those countries that have the type of socialized health care championed by most of the doufas Dems. Williams paints a different picture that matches the stories of those who deal with such systems.

For me, the worst part about the lefty health care ideas, aside from the fact that it'll be tougher to get medical attention, is that our tax dollars will pay for costs run up by people who won't even take care of themselves. Just like bailing out idiots who bought houses they couldn't afford, or idiots who couldn't manage their businesses, we'll be forced to pay for those who make no effort to avoid hazardous living. Who wants to pay doctor bills for the jackass who drinks too much, or blows too much coke? Who wants to pay for that idiot who picks up HIV while trying to get laid with another partner than last week?

Of course there's just so much that is wrong with universal health care, and Williams covers other points, that I can't understand how anyone would ever back such a suicidal idea. But then I remember we're talking about a lefty proposal. We have problems with health care costs for sure. It's less the system than it is all the governmental inteference that damaged the system so badly. But hey, there's nothing that's broken so badly that Barry won't be able to worsen.
