Government Rationing vs. the Free Market

My latest post at The Objective Standard Blog deals with an issue that Americans must grasp. A reader posted this comment to my 4/19/12 piece, ObamaCare and the Statists' False Alternative:


Even without a national healthcare plan the old person is taking a finite amount of time away from the possibility of the doctor working on a younger patient. Therefore rationing is inevitable in any system. Rationing has to take place. It is only fair to allow the rationing to take place through a democracy and not at the whim of a doctor or the pocket book of those who can pay.
Read my explanation of the crucial Difference between Voluntary Exchange and Rationing in Healthcare.
