Regardless of how President Barack Obama's health-care agenda plays out in Congress, it has not been a success in public opinion. Opposition to ObamaCare has risen all year.

--snip--

The health-care debate is part of a moral struggle currently being played out over the free enterprise system. It will be replayed in every major policy debate in the coming months, from financial regulatory reform to a cap-and-trade system for limiting carbon emissions. The choices will ultimately always come down to competing visions of America's future. Will we strengthen freedom, individual opportunity and enterprise? Or will we expand the role of the state and its power?

I just spent 5 hours in the ER in Torrance, CA.With my 2 year old daughter who fell and cut her head. (She’s fine. But the 5 hours bought me literally 5 minutes of “care” time for my daughter, the rest was waiting.). Before I left I said (not knowing anything about the nurse), “I can’t imagine what would happen (meaning in the ER area)if health care is nationalized”. She looked at me and said “ A nightmare, a true nightmare.”
