Remember when Bill appointed Hillary to head his secret commission to socialize the US health care industry?
Imagine if she had succeeded - given the lengthy wait times common in places like Canada (which is often viewed as a model), Bill could very well have waited himself into a fatal heart attack.
Wouldn't that have been ironic?
Not that I'm a big fan of our health care system - way too many uninsured people, and we're not getting as much as we should for the hundreds of billions of dollars we spend, but socialized health care is not the way to go.
