Latest Pajamas Media Column (’ObamaCare’s Redistribution of Health’) Is Up
It will go up here at BizzyBlog on Monday morning (link won’t work until then) after the blackout expires.
The central point is in the subheadline: “Of course the president and Congress are after money, but they really want control over your life.”
One of its key assertions relates to the Trojan horse known as the public option:
The “public option” is not about “competition.” It is about elimination. That “the uninsured” receive “coverage” is only incidental.
…. This stack of playing field de-levelers (built into the “public option”) constitutes what the bill’s sponsors call “competition.” It’s really a sick (pun intended) joke.
One of the bigger disappointments in this battle has been the failure of sensible conservatives to point out just how deliberately unfair the alleged “competition” of a “public option” is. I noted the issue of the almost certain built-in advantages of a government-run entity over private insurers way back in June (second item at link). If others have raised it, I’ve missed it. At a practical level, it’s one of the best arguments that can be made against this monstrosity.
