Health Care

I was going to blog something about health care tonight, but this Corner post by Stephen Spruiell says everything I was going to. Here's the money quote:

The last thing we need is public policy based around the idea that health care is a "right" to which we are all entitled. We've seen the results when other countries have adopted such policies: shortages, rationed care, higher taxes and a less innovative health-care sector — in short, a state of affairs that infringes on everyone's right to pursue the best care he or she can obtain.

The penultimate paragraph is great too, so read the whole thing.
