Well, We Can't Have That

AmericaBlog turns us on to one of the stupidest arguments against health care reform yet:

... Let's just not pretend, as some healthcare reformers would have us do, that we can easily get more equality without paying the price in efficiency.

Put simply, the healthcare reform bill would make the United States more like western Europe. That may mean more security about healthcare, but it also means that future generations of Americans will likely spend more time enjoying leisure.

Because goodness knows efficiency is so very much more important than the health of your workers and their being able to enjoy some leisure time. I mean, it was right there in the Declaration of Independence -- "illness, wage-slavery, and the pursuit of efficiency".

Do any of these people ever look at anything in a way that doesn't involve bottom-line, short-term monetary profit?
