This Cox and Forkum cartoon lead us to yet another story that'll make our lefty friends stick their fingers in their ears and go "la la la la la la la":

Let's hope Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy were sitting down when they heard the news of the latest bombshell Supreme Court ruling. From the Supreme Court of Canada, that is. That high court issued an opinion last Thursday saying, in effect, that Canada's vaunted public health-care system produces intolerable inequality.
...
The ruling stops short of declaring the national health-care system unconstitutional; only three of the seven judges wanted to go all the way.
...
The larger lesson here is that health care isn't immune from the laws of economics. Politicians can't wave a wand and provide equal coverage for all merely by declaring medical care to be a "right," in the word that is currently popular on the American left.

There are only two ways to allocate any good or service: through prices, as is done in a market economy, or lines dictated by government, as in Canada's system. The socialist claim is that a single-payer system is more equal than one based on prices, but last week's court decision reveals that as an illusion. Or, to put it another way, Canadian health care is equal only in its shared scarcity.

Of course, our universal health care will be different. Ours will work. Right?

A quote attributed to Albert Einstein suddenly comes to mind.
