Matthew Yglesias on health care...

The Need for Accountability
"The other is that you can hybridize single-payer and market elements. Make preventive medicine free. Make it less than free -- have nurse practitioners kicking down doors and immunizing children. But for other things, you can implement cost-sharing that's scaled to the recipient's income. You guarantee that lack of funds never forces anyone to go without care, but you also ensure that everyone has an incentive to at least think a little about whether or not he really needs treatment."
Yes, it's OK to "kick down doors" to immunize citizens according to the progressive genius, it's just not OK to do that to find a terrorist....Once again, the liberal fascists give themselves away.
