Universal Health Care Coverage: Are You Sure You Want This?

Demonstrating, once again, that there is no bad idea that government—state or federal—can’t make worse, California is considering what sort of punishments will be meted out to citizens who defy their masters in Sacramento:

People who refuse to obtain health insurance could be tracked down by the state or a private contractor, enrolled in a plan and fined until they pay their premiums …

I wonder what is meant by “private contractor” in this context. Are they going to hire health care bounty hunters? Have insurance policy, will travel.

How weird does it have to get before it becomes obvious that government meddling in health care is a bad idea?
