All you need to know about.........................

.......central planning or government-run anything:

They fail because they attempt to substitute a single brain, or a relatively small panel of brains organized into a bureaucracy, for the collective cognitive firepower of millions or billions of people. Put simply, they attempt to manage systems that are too complex for them to understand. Complexity is humbling, but politics is immune to humility.

So says Kevin Williamson in this essay titled, iPencil:  Nobody knows how to make a pencil, or a health- care system.  One more excerpt to conclude:  

Washington is packed to the gills with people who believe they have the ability to design an intelligent national health-care system, but there is not one who does - no Democrat, no Republican, no independent.  The information burden is just to vast.  Washington is not only full of people who do not know what they are talking about, it is full of people who do not know that they do not know what they are talking about.  That is no model for social change.
