HEALTH CARE IS NOT A RIGHT   LEONARD PEIKOFF
So long as people believe that socialized medicine is a noble plan, there is no way to fight it. The only way you can defeat it is to unmask it—to show that it is the very opposite of noble.

THE GREAT WAIT   MICHAEL TANNER
The one common characteristic of all single-payer health-care systems is that they ration care.

HEALTH CARE IS A BUSINESS—OR SHOULD BE   RICHARD E. RALSTON
Ultimately all health care is paid for by business activity. The total added value the government creates for your benefit is nothing.

HEALTH CARE SYSTEM SUFFERS FROM MONOPOLY   MICHAEL CAMPBELL
It's tragically dangerous in Afghanistan, but it may be more dangerous to have to wait for cancer treatment, cardiac surgery, or an organ transplant in the Great White North.

ONE-SIZE MEDICINE DOES NOT FIT ALL   PETER PITTS
If only these lawmakers looked to the countries that have already gone down this road, where the consequences have been disastrous.

WHAT MICHAEL MOORE FORGOT TO TELL YOU   RICHARD E. RALSTON
Britain has had to import more than 20,000 physicians in the last three years because so few of the British want to enter or stay in the profession after sixty years of experience with the NHS.
