What have you been smoking? What has the gov’t ever done that was efficient?

How about a military?

Take your ideas over to DU. You’ll find them very popular over there.

I'm not a DU-type. I believe in that the Bible is the inerrant word of God. I also believe that free markets usually work better than government interference. But market failure really does happen sometimes, so government intervention shouldn't be rejected a priori. It is an empirical debate and the empirical evidence seems to favor unviersal health care.

I've only been posting to the Free Republic for about three years or so, but its never struck me as a place that does not tolerate dissent.

Even the military isn’t THAT efficient. Take a look at military hospitals sometime.

And for a view of the future of healthcare under the auspices of the gub’mint, look at a Veteran’s Hospital...

...government intervention shouldn't be rejected a priori.

How about a Constitutionali? ;^)
