I'd be interesting in hearing more of your views on that. There is a big effort to nationalize healthcare here, and its not just pushed by liberals. Some big business seems to think that the cooresponding tax burden would be lower. Personally, I'd like to see other options on the table. I don't think universal health care is nessecary to fix some of the existing coverage gaps in our society.

What are the biggest inefficiencies generated by overregulation today? You have a much better view of this than me. It has always struck me as odd that some one with a 3 year college degree who makes nearly as much as I do gets athsma inhalers for me at the drug store and operates the cash register. I realize that some people are afraid of getting the wrong medicine, but is there a cheaper way? What about drug testing? It seems there are risks associated with that which lead to the amount of regulation.
