For the first time in a couple of years I listened to NPR on the way to work today. Not only do I feel strangely soiled, but I realized why it will be another two years before I try again listening to the Network of Annoying Voices.
I stumble onto some four-way conversation among analysts, all liberals of course, who kept saying that there was “a sense of inevitability” to the government takeover of health care because of the “moral imperative” to make sure everyone was insured.
A couple of hours later, though, I read this report:
More Americans now say it is not the federal government’s responsibility to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage (50%) than say it is (47%). This is a first since Gallup began tracking this question, and a significant shift from as recently as three years ago, when two-thirds said ensuring healthcare coverage was the government’s responsibility.
So, in NPR’s view, Americans are becoming increasingly immoral. Good for us, then.
