Those who forget history. . .

. . . are bound to repeat it.  I borrowed this from Ann Coulter:

ARTICLE 42 OF THE SOVIET CONSTITUTION

Article 42. Citizens of the USSR have the right to health protection.

This right is ensured by free, qualified medical care provided by state health institutions; by extension of the network of therapeutic and health-building institutions; by the development and improvement of safety and hygiene in industry; by carrying out broad prophylactic measures; by measures to improve the environment; by special care for the health of the rising generation, including prohibition of child labour, excluding the work done by children as part of the school curriculum; and by developing research to prevent and reduce the incidence of disease and ensure citizens a long and active life.

Hey, does anyone know how that worked out?
 
I'm guessing if you actually read the current health care bill it'd sound a lot like this.
