Re: Langley (#20)

So far, my only proposal in this thread is that Wretchard not say that the the current Administration’s organizing principle is that “you are too stupid to make your own choice.” Rather, Wretchard should recognize that the Administration’s (not my!) organizing principle is that medical treatment should be available to everyone.

In this thread I have not advocated any particular change of our medical system. I have not advocated that even one medical institution or service or function be taken over by the government. I have not said that it would be better if anything at all were taken over by the government.

Rather I have advocated that we all recognize problems in our current system and that we discuss the issues in manner that respects the intelligence and motivations of people who are trying to deal with those problems. Straw-man arguments like the one Wretchard asserted are not helpful and should not and will not be taken seriously by serious people.

And as a consequence I am being treated like a rude guest on Wretchard’s blog.
