The point is that there are some conditions that can only be detected by an ECG. An undetected condition can easily result in a premature death. It should be up to each individual to make the cost/benefit analysis. The state is presuming the right to make that choice, and the state has a bias against helping the individual survive. I don't advocate "giving everyone in the country" any test. But the state has no business taking over medical care and making what amount to life and death decisions.

OBAMA:...the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve...

Replace Obama with any socialist or elite. The word 'evidence' and 'improve' aren't used in the normal sense of the words. The needed societal proscription has already been determined. Now the facts must be extrapolated in such a way as to confirm the 'correct' answer.

The above statement by Obama can be applied to any liberal idea. Gun control, free markets, individual liberty, marriage, etc. all fall under this design.

Think of every liberal attack against American freedom. The facts don't ever add up under scrutiny, but once the meme is determined they know they're right no matter what. To stand against them makes you a conspirator against 'real' progress (finally).

I'd suggest that at the heart of the progressive movement is idolatry. Liberals want to be God. 'They are the gods that would be.' Eugenics, anti-human attacks against both liberty and progress and every program are all built around creating man in their image.

If Cass Sunstein were your neighbor you'd warn your kids to stay away from him. In most American communities someone espousing his ideas would be ostracized. Yet at the academe he's a hero and the more education people receive the more likely they are to agree with Sunstein.
