Nothing is crazier than incessantly calling health care “free”. The USA Today with an Sicko op-ed:
Sicko uses omission, exaggeration and cinematic sleight of hand to make its points. In criticizing politicians, insurers and drug makers, it says little about the high quality of U.S. care. In lauding Canada, Great Britain, France and Cuba, it largely avoids mention of the long lines and high taxes that accompany most government-run systems.
“Obviously, it’s not free,” says Michael Cannon of the libertarian Cato Institute. Those countries “have unleashed demand, and they’re capping supply. When you do that, you get lines.”
