Medical School

Doctor my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
--Jackson Browne

Commenting on the health care proposal, Ron Paul argues against its passage far more eloquently than me.

Near the end of his missive, Congressman Paul suggests that, should the bill pass, then its operationalization will hasten the day that we have to come to grips with excessive government intervention. Essentially, he's saying that we'll accelerate the speed of the train that is careening toward a brick wall.

While that may be true, the cost of accelerating the process will be measured in a lower standard of living for many millions of people.
