Mark Steyn said:Somewhere along the way these countries redefined the relationship
between government and citizen into something closer to pusher and addict.
And once you've done that, it's very hard to persuade the addict to cut back
his habit. Thus, the general acceptance everywhere but America is that the
state should run your health care. A citizen of an advanced democracy expects
to be able to choose from dozens of breakfast cereals at the supermarket,
hundreds of movies at the video store, and millions of porno sites on the Internet,
but when it comes to life-or-death decisions about his own body he's happy to have
the choice taken out of his hands and given to the government.
