Everything Anders is describing is so true. I am currently 'enjoying' the fruits of my 'free' Medicare health care and all the aggravation, waiting lists, bureaucratic nonsense and out-of-control costs that go with it. And while we're at it, please consider just how screwed-up two other supposedly 'free' government-provided services are - roads and schools.
Anyone who lives in a big city knows how disastrous traffic has gotten, and not just at rush hour. I now add at least a half hour to every trip within Denver simply because I know I will be late if I don't, and sometimes I am anyway. The government school system, however, may be the most egregiously awful service organization on Earth. Not only are children NOT being educated, many of them appear to have lost whatever normal common sense they started with. And that is only if they survive the experience at all. War zone is not a sufficient enough term to describe most government schools these days.
When you consider that health care, roads and schools are just the tip of the iceberg of the disastrous consequences of our 'freebie' political system today, you hopefully will understand just how critically necessary Anders' prescriptions for change have become. I cannot recommend his book highly enough!
