What's the old adage about insurance? Invite all your friends to dinner, and most will have burgers instead of steak. Agree to split the bill equally, and a few will order steak, but pay less for their share. Eventually, everyone will want steak, and they'll wonder why no one can afford dinner. It is no different with State-forced health care, and State-regulated healthcare.

Give me a break. Health care is not the same as other "products". I can arrange an appointment to get a lower G.I.exam done for free any time I want but I haven't. And if I did I certainly would not want to order more than I need even if it is free. Have you ever needed a medical exam or treatment? They are not "steak dinners" in any sense. The only people who would avail themselves of more than they need of these types of "products" are masochists and that fairytale of economics: the so-called rational actor.
