Nanny Will Keep You Fit:

"Our bodies are gradually becoming socialized. The choices we make about how to live, what to eat and drink and what pleasures we enjoy are increasingly to be guided by the hand of the state."

"Underlying all of this legislating is the theory that society must collectively dictate individual behavior for the purpose of making society collectively healthier. Individual will must be stamped out and replaced with the will of the state."

"This is not some science-fiction fantasy. This is happening right now."

This is precisely the problem with socialized medicine. You don't own your body, you don't own the treatment choices-you are at the mercy of some bureaucrat who thinks he or she knows better than you. You have no choices, you are just a number.
