Quote of the Day III

Mark Steyn, writing for the Orange County Register, about the perils of government health care:

The problem with government health systems is not that they pull the plug on Grandma. It's that Grandma has a hell of a time getting plugged in in the first place. The only way to "control costs" is to restrict access to treatment, and the easiest people to deny treatment to are the oldsters.

As a Canadian who now lives in New Hampshire, Steyn knows all about government health care. He has been there, done that, and doesn't want it to follow him to the States. The whole article is worth your time.
