Flushing Your Medical Care Down the Same Toilet the Banks Used:

Paul Krugman's op-ed addresses the Neo-Con/McCain plan to deregulate medical care so that it can follow the same path that the banking industry followed to take the country down the same path of bankruptcy and federal bailout:

In short, the McCain plan makes no sense at all, unless you have faith that the magic of the marketplace can solve all problems. And Mr. McCain does: a much-quoted article published under his name declares that “Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.”

The Dude fools enough people some of the time: "See, free nations are peaceful nations." (Bush has led the U.S. into two wars.) "Free nations don't attack each other." (Bush took the U.S. to war against Iraq based on lies.) "Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction." (The U.S. has more weapons of mass destruction than any other nation on earth.)
