I thought the last line of the article was its most interesting. Anybody know how it works in Switzerland? On the surface, it looks like what Romney had in mind for Massachussets.

No, Romney’s socialist forced health insurance plan was conservative socialism, not this liberal Swiss kind of socialism. Just ask any Romney supporter on FR.

This sounds indistinguishable from the old rationale for methadone maintenance programs in the US. It gets the rabble out of the "needle parks" but doesn't change anything.

It's a slippery slope indeed.

Switzerland has had a big heroin problem for a long time. Maybe the biggest problem in all of Europe.

Seriously, does anyone know why?
