LAT promotes government health care

In an editorial today, the LAT argues for the state run health care plan that has been proposed by California's governator and the Democrat legislature. The LAT says the plan is no panacea but it would stop people from visiting emergency rooms for routine care and it would make healthy people pay some of the cost of caring for old and sick people. If you're young and healthy that may not sound like such a hot deal.

What this plan is all about is force. It forces nearly everyone to do something they probably wouldn't do if they weren't forced. And it will cost $14 billion annually or more. If you like government, if you like force, you'll like this plan.
