The brilliant and one-and-only Mr. Sowell strikes gold by asking, Why is there alarm about American medical care? Although you should read the entire piece, including the comparisons between American care and care in other lands, Sowell concludes:
The great haste with which the latest government expansion into medical care is being rushed through Congress suggests that the politicians don’t want us to stop and think. That makes sense, from their point of view, but not from ours.
Again, why the rush? And what makes health care an entitlement? Are American citizens now union members?
