Ron Paul Op-ed in USA Today

Today's messed up medical system is a result of 40 years of government interference in the process. Regulations, inflation, tax laws, federal mandates to provide care through corporate-run HMOs, interference in providing insurance, massive subsidies and licensing have all played a negative role in the delivery of medical care in the United States.

The idea that more government involvement in health care is the solution, especially at a time when the nation is dealing with record deficits and debt, is preposterous. And the promised effectiveness of forced mandate health care is easily disproven by looking at how such a system has worked in Massachusetts.

is the crux of the issue - and it all has to do with controllong the populace and making lots of money for those politicians involved.

It driven by power and greed.

The law cannot make a wicked person virtuous…God’s grace alone can accomplish such a thing.
