The End of Activism?

One question which intrigues me is whether Communal Medicine will spell the end of political activism in America.

Throughout the years, activists have been imprisoned and jailed regularly. But in order to do those things, a public trial has been required, and people have been willing to risk the possibility of lots of time in jail in order to petition their government for redress of wrongs. So far, I can think of few activists who have been killed for their beliefs in America.

But what happens when the state has the power of life and death over a large percentage of it's population, and means to kill them that requires no review and costs nothing? When they can kill inconvenient people by simply refusing them medical care, and refusing them the right to pay for their own? Will there be anybody left to fight the system if fighting the system means a miserable death by slow disease, with no possibility of going elsewhere? This is where we're going as we approach Single Payer Health Care, otherwise known as Absolute State Power over Every Life.

And possibly also known as the end of Activism in America.
