Courtesy of economist Greg Mankiw's blog is this excerpt from the office of the President of the United States : We believe this is a step toward a government-run system for all Americans. The President has made clear that he believes this is the wrong direction. He prefers a system in which the patient (and consumer) is at the center of decisions about his own health care. Moving toward more government financing, and more people in health plans chosen by the government, means less control for the patient, and more decisions made in Washington and in State capitals. This is bad. My jaw just dropped when I saw that. As would that of anyone who lives in a country like Canada where we're doing rather well for ourselves with a government-funded health care system. Yes, it's not perfect, but I'm happy to know that should I, God forbid, fall ill and lose my job, at least I don't have to worry about finding cash to get treatment for my illness. This is Good, Mr. President...
