That'd be awful! I mean, it's not like we rely on the government for anything related to healthcare already, like, say, the FDA regulating drugs for efficacy and safety, or HIPAA laws to protect our privacy, or medicare or medicaid to provide medical care to the elderly or the poor. I mean, it's not like there are specific standards of care for hospitals, nursing homes, hospice care, and group homes, or abuse and neglect laws protecting the elderly and disabled, or laws allowing for lawsuits when a doctor commits malpractice. There's nothing at all like that, and if there were, why, I'm sure you'd be fighting to remove regulation and privatize all that, wouldn't you?
