Arnold Kling of the CATO Institute is hands-down one of
the best authorities to go to when you want a dissection of how
government intervention has only and will continue to worsen
healthcare in the United States. (I highly recommend

unfortunately, he’s getting an even more up-close-and-personal look
at this monster:
Over the past eight weeks, I have been spending a lot of time with my father, who has developed some acute medical problems. For the most part, my focus is day-to-day (or hour-to-hour) on the issues and stresses that arise. But I have also come around to some different points of view about our health care system. I no longer think of Medicare and health care regulation as inefficient. I now think of them as pure evil.
