Nice cartoon.  I just wish those seeking to increase government control and regulation would realize that this is the inevitable consequence as entrenched corporate interests always co-opt new government powers and programs for their own competitive advantage.  And trying to circumvent this natural outcome with even more restrictions on our freedom like McCain-Feingold just don’t work.  The only solution is to lower the stakes of the game by making government less powerful.

That doesn’t mean we abandon worthwhile initiatives like universal access to basic health care, it just means we should try to do it in simple and efficient ways like with vouchers for the needy, whether that need is economic or from a pre-existing condition.
