“In the end, perhaps the biggest objection to nationalized health care is the ‘principal-agent problem.’ For whom does the doctor work? Ordinarily, the doctor is the agent of the patient. But when government signs the checks and orders doctors to reduce spending, it is not crazy to think that this won’t influence their ‘advance care planning consultation’.
“Freedom is about self-determination. Obama’s health care scheme would undermine both.” –John Stossel
