Finding out what is in the Health Care Bill will be exciting

Nancy Pelosi realizes that you may be against the Health Care Bill now,

But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it

She's also jazzed about the prospect of all those compassionate Democrats in Congress and the federal bureaucracy controlling what you are allowed to eat:

Prevention, prevention, prevention—it’s about diet, not diabetes. It’s going to be very, very exciting.

Personally, I prefer to leave control of the citizenry's diet to State and Local Governments. Because, like an over-diversified mega-corporation, the more things the Federal Government tries to do, the fewer things it does well. The difference is that an over-diversified, ineffective corporation must generally restructure or fail in the marketplace. But an over-diversified, ineffective government can limp along for decades because it can use police force to extract money from the citizenry. And then, suddenly, you get a disaster like Greece.

Incidentally, the claims that preventative medicine in the form of increased diagnostic testing, etc., will lower health care costs have been soundly refuted. So if Pelosi really believes she can lower health care costs through prevention, it will have to be through federal controls on the lifestyles of the citizenry, as she suggests above. Because we wouldn't want citizens learning how to take on adult responsibilities themselves. The more people become dependent on the government, the better it is for the Party of Big Government.
