When a government can regulate your health care, it can regulate every aspect of your life

I'm currently on a cruise in the South Atlantic, pretending to be a tourist, as several members of my crew head toward St. Helena Island. St. Helena island is the primary headquarters of Trias on Earth. Not wanting to accidentally be discovered by flying to St. Helena Island in our spacecraft, we boarded the RMS St. Helena and are making the long journey from Cape Town, Africa to the island.

I just read online that the Government regulated health care bill narrowly passed last evening in the United States.

As I commented last summer on Twitter and in an earlier blog from January, Trias, a tyrannical government, controlled all businesses and health care on my home planet of Albanar. Not only were our services bad, but the really scary part of it all was that Trias used health care as a way to manipulate elections, contracts and other important issues. If you were seen as a subversive, then when you needed health care, you would find yourself not being able to get the proper medical attention for months or years. If you did what you were told and supported the government, you were able to get medical attention much more swiftly. When a government can regulate your health care, it can regulate every aspect of your life.
