This is a fabulous speech I read about a year ago that Leonard Peikoff gave in 1993. It is in my opinion, the best analysis and explanation for why the government should have no hand in health care. It covers the dangers of the entitlement mentality, why the government cannot dole out new "rights" without infringing on our actual ones, and the specifics of what happens when meddling bureaucrats get in the way of a free market.
It's not very long (about 3.5 pages when printed out), so please give it a read, it may give you some fodder for rational arguments with people who think this health care takeover is well-intentioned, if poorly executed.
