“The less state, the better” doesn’t always work.

Its not an issue of magnitude (I haven’t seen any anarchists/paulians here), but of scope. The government has certain appropriate functions and can, as far as I’m concerned, expand to whatever size it needs to to fulfill those functions. Medical care is not one of those functions, hence my immediate detest for this legislation and strong convictions against it.
