Health care is a game-changer. The permanent game-changer. The
pendulum will swing, and one day, despite their best efforts, the
Republicans will return to power, and, in the right circumstances, the
bailouts and cap-&-trade and Government Motors and much of the rest
can be reversed. But the government annexation of health care will
prove impossible to roll back. It alters the relationship between the
citizen and the state and, once that transformation is effected, you
can click your ruby slippers all you want but you’ll never get back to
Kansas.
