Ignorance of the highest order
California is a step closer to enacting a state-wide universal health care plan.
-
"Fundamentally, health care is a right and not a privilege, and it ought to be afforded to everybody," Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, a Democrat and the bill's author, told his colleagues before they voted. "Make no mistake about it; this is truly a historic effort."
-
No, it's not. Health care is NOT a right. I direct you to this article by Leonard Peikoff for a deeper explanation.
-
' "It is time for the people to stop living in fear of losing their medical coverage, of living in fear that they are literally one hospital stay away from having to file personal bankruptcy," Schwarzenegger said at a news conference after the Assembly vote, surrounded by Democratic lawmakers.'
-
No, Arnold, it's time you started spending within your means. This is an abysmal idea. The California Democrats are seemingly careless with regard to spending.
-
Remember what PJ O'Rourke said: "If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free."

This is great. Hopefully CA will spark the nation to realize that it's poor cannot get proper health care and we catch up with the rest of the industrialized world.

It's funny though- the "rest of the industrialized world" has worse care than we do...and is, in the case of the British NHS, reverting to private health care.
