Government health care will mean one thing: rationing. In a big way. Overweight and need a triple bypass? Well, you should have thought of that when you were stuffing cheeseburgers down your gullet. Get in the back of the line. Smoked and now you have lung cancer? Well, lung cancer isn’t curable anyway, so why bother to try. You brought it on yourself.

We see the outlines of these arguments already, in the demonization of lazy, fat Americans. The groundwork has been laid.

To provide high quality health care to as many people in this nation as possible, we need one thing: a prosperous nation. We need wealth. This is something the Left will never get. They are killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
