Here is a letter to the editor of the New York Times that I copied from the blog Analphilosopher. This pretty well sums up the healthare situation in America:

From Today’s New York Times

To the Editor:

Who cares what modern health care-delivery methods are called? The elemental problem is that more and more people feel entitled to vast quantities of high-quality health care paid for by someone else.

And politicians, ever lusting for office, are only too happy to conjure the ridiculous illusion that A will get top-flight service from B when C is forced by G to pay the bills.

Note from KBJ: Try to find common sense like that in a law school or philosophy department.
