The sixth and most important question that hardly anyone is asking about health care reform


but somebody should be
Who benefits?

Yep, there it is. The killer question. And you should pay careful attention to the answer. Mark Steyn has one of the best versions I've seen. Emphasis added.

…I’ve been saying in this space for two years that the governmentalization of health care is the fastest way to a permanent left-of-center political culture. It redefines the relationship between the citizen and the state in fundamental ways that make limited government all but impossible. In most of the rest of the Western world, there are still nominally “conservative” parties, and they even win elections occasionally, but not to any great effect (let’s not forget that Jacques Chirac was, in French terms, a “conservative”). The result is a kind of two-party one-party state: Right-of-center parties will once in a while be in office, but never in power, merely presiding over vast left-wing bureaucracies that cruise on regardless.

And if you think that can't happen, have you taken a close look at the U.S. Department of State lately?
