Socialized Medicine in the U.S.A.

Cato's Michael Cannon has it exactly right in "Socialized Medicine Is Already Here" (TCS Daily). Go and read it.

Insofar as medicine is concerned, we have traveled all the way down the slippery slope, following one and then another of the paths I trace in "The Slippery Slope of Constitutional Revisionism."

Can it get worse? Yes. See:
Thomas Sowell, "No Health Care?"

Note, also, the planned presence of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders ("Independent"-VT) at the convention of Democratic Socialists of America. Were they honest about their true political orientation, almost all Democrats in Congress and far more than a few Republicans would join Sen. Sanders at the convention.
