Once again the government gouges the responsible citizen to enable the lifestyles of wanton idiots. Freedom used to mean, "You roll the dice, you take what you get." Now it means Sumdood gets to pick my pocket whenever he comes up snake-eyes. Here's a hint: it only looks like I'm winning because I'm not gambling. Somehow the positive results I enjoy from making good choices isn't "fair." Well, there's only so much "fairness" a man will tolerate.

Don't like the wait time? Put some skin in the game and we'll bump you up a few spaces. Hell, the Feebs already have too many cases of medical corruption to investigate; They're going to be hard pressed finding your "doctors note" (signed by his secretary, of course) that keeps you on workers comp. for a bit longer because of your "bad back". Ask anyone who ever lived in an Eastern European communist "paradise" about the bribery was rampant in the health care system... I’ll add the following (somewhat) humorous insight:

The bill probably won't ban smoking, skydiving, or things like that; but the fact that it places the power in the hands of the government to do exactly that without so much as a vote troubles me.

Seriously, look at England: they still have both. Rather, the effect is far more subtle and sinister: slipping standards that result in dirty hospitals, wait times, treatment and solutions stuck in 21st century because competition has been stifled.
