The obvious problem with government run health care

I was having lunch recently with a collegue of mine and the topic of the health care bill came up. Now this friend of is in his middle 50's and is in favor of the health care bill . His logic was that since health care would be paid for by people making over 1 million or more and since he didn't make that much then it was OK since some one else would have to pay for it.

There's at least a few problems with this line of reasoning:

First it perpetuates the states war on private property since the health care will be paid for by monies taken from private citizens in the form of taxes.

Second this continues to give more credence to the ever expanding notion that mob rule is an acceptable form of governance. Under the logic that since there are more of us who want something than those who have it, we have the right to just take it. Given that there are fewer people that make over over a million a year than there are who need health insurance it's only fair that those rich people should pay for it. When the government voluntarily offers itself as a proxy to impose coercion and tyranny this can only lead to greater and greater despotism.

While I'm sure that there are other more minute details and practical issues concerning the implementation of the recent government health care bill. The most important concern is that it continues to propagate the belief that whatever the mob wants the mob gets. History has shown us that once mob rule gains acceptance there is usually an ugly ending coming soon.
