Comment I can't help but notice (Score 1) 389

A lot of the people commenting here are not really getting the issue, as far as I can tell. The point of worry is control creep, much like the creep that is worried about when they start censoring the "bad things" off the Internet, I'd be all for it if it wasn't so easy to abuse. The problem is in fact, it is easy for the powers that be/status quo to abuse these systems and they have done so before. I've had laptops where I couldn't even switch the SATA mode, there's nothing to stop them making this into the worst possible situation for those who use OSes besides Windows.

Once you enter an area that requires a ticket or that is private property, you are no longer in a public venue for free unhampered expression; you are in an area for paying customers.

And when the goverment has finished selling just about all of the public land, train stations, bus stations you'll get to enjoy your lack of freedom to speak in those oh so not public places, you know, the ones where the public walk around and you have to use to access "public transport" yet it is private property...

Another recent thing is the ability to find out people's information just from their name and country, in the past without all these linked networks it took a lot longer to find someone if you could even find them at all... So we had anonminity in a form then the Internet and other various data retention events came along and we lost anonminity, then we got it back in the form of posting Anonymously or with a name we have made up. Like I am doing right now.

It may be "common sense" to you, but I don't see how you don't realize what you just said is impossible - at least in the sense of providing the "best" healthcare for everyone. There are documented horrible failures of British and Canadian healthcare for instance - you are at the mercy of a bureaucracy in order to get treatment. Often the wait times are measured in months. There is a reason so many wealthy foreigners come to America for major procedures.

Just as with your ideas about taxing the rich, there are unintended consequences. Many doctors are quitting the profession because of 0bamacare.

Yeah cause I am sure some lapses in health care are much better than having no chance of having it all, give me a break.
