Pelosi's Health Care Means Rationing Politics - WSJ.com

The Wall Street Journal has an excellent editorial called The Lords of Entitlement, an excerpt follows: "The bill is instead a breathtaking display of illiberal ambition, intended to make the middle class more dependent on government through the umbilical cord of 'universal health care.' It creates a vast new entitlement, financed by European levels of taxation on business and individuals. The 20% corner of Medicare open to private competition is slashed, while fiscally strapped states are saddled with new Medicaid burdens. The insurance industry will have to vet every policy with Washington, which will regulate who it must cover, what it can offer, and how much it can charge."
