The Dumbest Thing You'll Ever Read on Healthcare Reform

Did you know that Obamacare couldn't be effectively opposed because of conservatives' fatal cooperation with...the Chilean retirement system?

Hey, did you know that Obamacare couldn't be effectively opposed because of conservatives' fatal cooperation with...the Chilean retirement system?

Neither did I, until I read the American Conservative this morning!

Movement conservatives and beltway libertarians have lauded the Chilean retirement system for decades. What can they do when a Democratic administration applies the same principles to another field, healthcare? They can hardly say that what’s good for retirement savings is not good for health insurance, nor that one is a necessity and the other a luxury. Cartelization and corporatism are the philosophy and program of our right-wing policy wonks no less than of our left-wing “Obamunists.”

Some may accuse this site of being too deep into intra-conservative disputes once in a while.  But, hey: on the other hand, at least we're not still trying to settle scores from 1981.
