Appendix Removal: Huge Sticker Shock

Government involvement begets government involvement. Just as I was rambling about in another poster's discussion about essentially creating money to basically give out: You need more and more and more and more government intervention along every single conceivable step of the road to make sure it never spirals out of control. We'd need cost control for procedures and medications and salaries. Then we'd need limits on the care. Then we'd need more forced revenue to make up any shortfalls. And all the while there'd be a thousand new books of regulations out every year to limit any competition in care but to force competition in generic medications. And on and on and on... At the end of the day, somebody might be able to hang their hat on the fact that medical care is "free" or more affordable. But wtf has been traded for it? By the time the new blob is created in the medical industry, it will be worse than the blob killing public education. Who the hell are they going to blame when liberal expanse ruins something else? There won't be anything left that they're not already in control of.
