Sweet.

With issues critical to the public good, what's wrong with having democratically elected people managing those institutions? It is done with the law, with law enforcement, with the military and space exploration, with transport safety, nuclear regulations, immigration, and environmental protection. Even the institutions to be managed by elected officials are chosen to be managed by elected officials by elected officials.

Why is all of this freedom loving capitalism but when government managed health care comes in to play it's out and out communism?

Oh, by the by, this crock of lard about losing the right to chose your doctor under socialized medicine is right up there with the moon being made of green cheese. When you go to emergency you get who you get, that's standard everywhere I'm sure. But there's nothing stopping me from saying I would rather have a Medicare paid visit with Dr. X instead of Doctor Y.
