Suderman on Krugman on health care
FreedomWorks' Peter Suderman wrote an excellent post recently about Paul Krugman's take on health care.
-
"So let’s be completely clear: Even if you’re healthy, even if you don’t want or need health insurance — or only want to purchase inexpensive coverage against major financial catastrophes — Krugman and the rest of the liberal health care crowd don’t want to let you. They want to force you to pay for the health insurance of everyone else. This isn’t about charity or compassion or any of those liberal warm-n-fuzzies, it’s about taking your money and giving it away.
It doesn’t matter how much it costs you, or that you earned the money in the first place, or whether you’ll get health care benefits from it yourself. It’s about requiring you cough up, like it or not.
What a mindset: You earn, we spend.
And these are the same people trying to sell their programs based on freedom?"
