He still supports Obamacare because he hasn’t had his policy canceled and/or force to take out another policy twice as much with 5 times his present deducible.

Having a national health care safety net under the vast majority of Americans — to ease and enable people to make this transition — is both morally right and in the interest of everyone who wants a stable society.

What transition? Where are these wonderful jobs he speaks of?

Obamacare is dragging heavily on the economy. Socialized medicine will never aid in job creation. The cost and crisis of confidence it causes will drag us into more and more unemployment.

Freidman: “He’s a leftist...I’m a leftist. Not to difficult to understand is it?”

I hope de gets a rash, too, and that he gives it to his multimillionaire heiress wife, who makes it possible for Friedman to condescend to all of us.

Friedman seems to be coming to a conclusion I have been worrying about --

The global economy has changed, and the need for human labor is diminishing. When farms became more automated, people shifted to factories. When factories became more automated, people shifted to offices. Now the offices are more automated and there is no where to shift. We have lots of people and -- to a disturbing extent -- no need for their labor. What do we do with those people? How do we keep them from starving in alleys?

The answer that Friedman is coming up with is: MORE SOCIALISM.
Give the unproductive people free food (EBT), free housing, and free healthcare. They'll be sitting pretty, while a few people slave away to keep society functioning and the goodies flowing.

In my opinion, this is not a good solution at all. But I certainly don't see the GOP pushing for anything different.

Why I (still) support Obamacare

Because I can afford to live here, so screw all you little people.

It all sounds so wonderful and utopian. Now, how do the liberals fish people out of the safety net that have fallen asleep down in the thing? Or do they just let folks drop down in to it until we run out of other people’s money?

What’s his premium?

I wish Cruz would have asked Leno what his premiums were or if he had any worries about losing healthcare.

After many paragraphs of stuff unrelated to heath care, Friedman concludes the article with this non sequitur:

“Having a national health care safety net under the vast majority of Americans — to ease and enable people to make this transition — is both morally right and in the interest of everyone who wants a stable society.”

Huh?
