It makes perfect sense. If the government is in charge of health care – lowering costs, rationing care, deciding what needs immediate treatment – then it seems reasonable that eventually they may have to pay you a visit to make sure you are keeping your home in a way that maximizes good health.
Don’t think it could happen? Neither did people in the UK until it was reported this week that Health and Safety inspectors will be given “unprecedented access” to family homes to make sure that citizens are protecting their children from household accidents.
As I said, this makes perfect sense. People cannot cry for a public option and then complain when the government takes reasonable steps to mitigate rising costs. All we can hope is that the government doesn’t abuse this power. But, who could stop them once they are in charge of health care?
