The most important question asked by Mr. Tanner is also the easiest to answer:

"What is there about our experience with government that suggests it is competent to run one-seventh of the American economy, let alone make many of our most private and personal decisions for us?"

The answer has absolutely nothing to do with the Government's actual "ability" or "non-ability" (as in the cases of the VA, Medicaid, and Medicare) to deliver quality services.

The answer, plainly and simply, is power and votes.

If the politicians control your access to health care, they control you. And if they control you, you become dependent on them; therefore, you will vote for them -- something along the lines of voting for the candidate who provide you greater access to the public treasury.
