Health Care - Where Can I Get A Life Boat?

One of my favorite quotes of Ayn Rand comes from We The Living:

"Do you believe in God, Andrei? No. Neither do I. But that's a favorite question of mine. An upside-down question, you know. What do you mean? Well, if I asked people whether they believed in life, they'd never understand what I meant. It's a bad question. It can mean so much that it really means nothing. So I ask them if they believe in God. And if they say they do—then, I know they don't believe in life. Why? Because, you see, God—whatever anyone chooses to call God—is one's highest conception of the highest possible. And whoever places his highest conception above his own possibility thinks very little of himself and his life. It's a rare gift, you know, to feel reverence for your own life and to want the best, the greatest, the highest possible, here, now, for your very own."

My new favorite question is "Do you believe that the government should provide health care?" I think the answer to this question tells me more about a person's view on individual liberty than anything else I could ask.

Anyway, if the health care public option bill passes after the debate in the Senate floor... I think I'll be ready to admit that we are all on a sinking titanic and start looking for a life boat.
