It's not an "opinion" and I am not using him as an "authority." It's an aphorism. It is one which I find validated by my professional experience. That experience tells me that if we let government take over providing our health care, we will suffer the usual and predictable outcome stated by the aphorism.
The reason your statement was "refuted" was not to answer anything at all, but rather, to try to fill a gap in your knowledge.
