We Already Know What Government Healthcare Is Like

Congressional leaders and Obama have somehow got it in their heads that America needs a healthcare overhaul.  I think many people would agree that reform is a possibility or even a necessity, but I never understood the word reform to mean the same thing as the phrase to start all over again.  The biggest problem with the current plans by the liberals is that their totally rebuilt version of the American healthcare system has the government at the helm.  If anyone wants a preview of what a mess that would (will?) be, look at the current inability of the government to get out vaccinations for the swine flu.  Dick Morris and Eileen McGann wrote a brilliant piece about this very observation.  The flu is one small, very routine disease.  How is the government going to deal with the small and large diseases and other problems of every single person in the country?  Simply put, they aren't.
