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?

The upcoming health care trainwreck

The upcoming health care trainwreck, which you can read about in this article, was easily predictable. Once a massive amount of socialism (Medicare, Medicaid) was introduced into a system that was working just fine, you got the usual results: higher costs.

Now, some politicians want to introduce more government, which will only make it worse. Once we have complete "universal health care" (socialized medicine), like in Canada and most European countries, we'll get more predictable results: longer lines, shortages, higher taxes, less efficiency, and ultimately, rationing.
