A new epithet to hurl at statists — “You’re so Krugman.” The former economist turned political hack has many ridiculous statements in his regular arguments against markets in the New York Times.
Today, Krugman claims that the only way to make sure people who pay for health insurance don’t lose it when they get sick is for the government to become the insurer. “Medicare for everyone.” According to Krugman “there would be no more horror stories like those reported by the Los Angeles Times.”
That’s why Canada now has private insurance, every country with the universal care Krugman advocates is trying to reduce the government’s role, and Medicaid and Medicare threaten to swamp government budgets from the county to the nation.
