Quote of the Day
By sage of monticello | September 2, 2007
If you are going to be in the system, you can’t choose not to go to the doctor for 20 years. You have to go in and be checked and make sure that you are OK. The whole idea is a continuum of care, basically from birth to death.
- Former North Carolina Senator and Democrat Presidential candidate John Edwards explaining the main component of his health care policy: coercion.
Sometimes the nanny state just has to show tough love…
One can’t help but ask, does John Edwards believe in freedom?

I wasted my last friday at the Department of Motor Vehicles…there was a full waiting room and a line of people extending outside the building. The wait took hours.
…
That’s what Edwards and the Dems want to do to our health care system.

Although I don’t feel the current system is right, I think that if the hospitals are going to be forced by federal law to help people (although isn’t there a hypocratic oath or something that covers that?) then we should be forced to take better care of ourselves, even if that means forcing us to get check-ups.
To the first comment, wouldn’t it be true that if check-ups reduce later problems, wouldn’t it possibly decrease the waits at doctors/dentists/ect?
