In a recent
editorial in USA Today, Democratic House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi grumbled about how reactionaries are shutting down the
voices of the enlightenment on health care. She accused town hall
insurrectionists of being "afraid not just of differing views—but
of the facts themselves." But as David Harsanyi writes, those
protesters have good reason to worry. Because the fact is every
iteration of health care "reform" in Washington is intended to lead
us to a single-payer system, which would not only wreck innovation
and competition but also inject bean-counting bureaucrats into our
health care decisions.
