Everything that ever has come under the purview of centralized planning experts has been blighted to the point of ruin by their control. Just look at the history of all the failed economic planning experiments and the misery and deprivation they caused.
Given this history, one has to wonder why the government is intent on subjecting every key component of the nation's economy to the disaster inflicters.
The greatest economic engine the world has ever seen now is winding down, being seriously encumbered by the affliction and the conceits of those who are imposing the rule of progressive experts on an expanding number of the components of America's productive capacity. The administration began with the financial sector and its major institutions and then expanded to manufacturing industries -- two of the three domestic auto companies and an acquiescent General Electric. With them under control, so too are their suppliers and distributors.
Now in the cross hairs of the collectivists are the health insurance and health care sectors, which they intend to bring within their ambit either in one fell swoop if they can pass the administration's proposals or more gradually if compromise to pass only some or watered down versions of those proposals becomes necessary. Next on the agenda is the energy industry, already laboring under burdensome restrictions and regulations.
What's going to be left of the free enterprise system that made our country and its population the most productive and prosperous people and nation in the history of the world?

Given the history, the government's "intent on subjecting every key component of the nation's economy to its will" really comes as no surprise. It's power happy and blood thirsty. What's surprising to me is why individuals never fail to let it to happen.
And while I agree that Obamacare is not a good option (an evil one, even), I don't know that the healthcare system we have now can really be touted as a genuine example free enterprise?
