It&#8217;s better not to see them being made.” In the case of the current government, bound and determined to take over our health care system regardless of public opposition, never have so many Americans been privy to the making of sausage—and it hasn’t been pretty.

We all have encountered such examples. &#8220;Progressive&#8221; suggests innovative, visionary and benevolent. But most &#8220;progressive&#8221; policies merely regurgitate antiquated notions that were disproved decades ago.
