Tom Perkins on rationed health care in relation to his own prostate cancer:

"Happily, the cancer has been knocked off its feet...

"Life is full of ironies. The PSA test was developed by a Kleiner & Perkins company, Hybritech, in the mid 1970s. How happy I am that Eugene Kleiner and I backed that effort so long ago...

"It's hard to avoid a political aside, so I won't try. A healthy market-driven free economy leads to innovation and the development of breakthroughs, like the PSA test. A highly taxed and highly regulated economy leads to "Death Panels," like the U.S. Preventative Health Service."

From an op/ed in the Wall Street Journal, Prostate Testing and the Death Panel
