I think it was William Proxmire who state “if you think health care is expensive now, just wait until it's free”

One of the most prescient and forward looking statements in American political history.

W are now learning that the biggest cost in free healthcare is the loss of doctors and competent health care providers.

The day of the Doctor - Patient relationship is long gone and effective healthcare is fading into the past.

The much vaunted Brit, Cuban and Canadian NHS systems that were touted by liberals as models for the US to emulate are melting down into dysfunction.

All those changes are happening in America too - and here it isn’t even free.
