Something bothered me about this article: the author writes it as though the only people who haven't realized this fact are universal health care / health care reform proponents. As I recall, it was the opponents of health care reform who were vociferously complaining about government-imposed "rationing" not so long ago. In a related vein, the author also mis-states the case for universal health care. I'm pretty sure that there are no serious proposals (feasible or otherwise) on the table that provide "the best health care possible whenever [anyone needs] it." Many (most? nearly all?) universal health care proponents would be happy to have a system that provides a reasonable level of care to anyone whenever necessary.
