We fall prey to our fears and fantasies. We create synthetic truths from a blend of genuine evidence, popular prejudice and mass anxiety.

We Americans want contradictory things from the health-care system; we want unlimited medical care without unlimited spending.... We want limits for society as a whole, but not for any of the individuals in it.... We remain hostage to our own optimism that all things are possible. But choices exist, and, even if we evade them, they will not evade us.
