Another variant phrase in support of this:

Suppose one could demonstrably claim increased innovation, lowered costs, and a dramatic universal increase in both quantity (life expectancy) and quality of life – the fact remains that socialized medicine is a system rooted in the wholesale encroachment of individual rights. There is no combination of practical angles that outweigh the moral essence. There is no scope of benevolence reaped by one man or one million that can justify forcefully clobbering a single right of another individual.
