Palmer Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:17:23 +0000 http://tomgpalmer.com/?p=4040#comment-13519 We haven't seen the full proposals yet, but do count on such a law moving us more and more in that direction. We already have Medicare price controls, even though the doctors are not generally state employees. The dynamics of this program would indeed lead us in the direction of a health care system in which the major assets increasingly become state property and more and more of the players become state employees. We should fear it and oppose it. We haven’t seen the full proposals yet, but do count on such a law moving us more and more in that direction.

I don't think the government would own the hospitals in the sense they own the VA and Indian Medical Centers. This being said, while therefore not "socialistic," it is certainly socialistoid.
