In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

Soviet health care in Massachusetts

No one, especially bureaucrats, can repeal the fundamental laws of economics. As Ludwig von Mises proved in the 1920's with his fantastic work titled Socialism, economic calculation is impossible once prices are removed from an economic system.

As Commonwealth Care proves Mises right with its rising costs, we can predict easily the disaster that awaits us if Hillary Clinton or any president/congress gives us "universal health care." Read the article from the Boston Globe here, and start lining up your doctor friends for future care, reminding them each time you leave that you "were never here."

Once again, as in previous posts regarding health care, you get 5 results with socialized medicine: long lines, shortages, lower quality, higher taxes, and finally, rationing.
