The wackiest part of the argument is that we already have government run health care - for the very poor and very sick and very old. Letting the rest of us buy into it is the next logical step. We're just not taught to make the hard choices.. Most of us are not equipped to argue our position, if we can even think of all the consequences. That's what should be scaring our socks off. That we deny that other people to do it for us is the mystery at the heart of our collective anxiety.
