PSA: Dictionary, blogosphere.

I’m spending my free time today trying to think of something appropriately drastic with which to threaten the next person who claims the free market can fix healthcare in this country unless that individual is willing to admit that “free market” properly means killing Medicare, Medicaid, the FDA, government-based physician licensing, and all the other stinky regulation that makes the market not, in fact, free.  Nowhere in the definition of “free market” does it stipulate that “free market” means manipulating the regulatory environment until the “deserving” (read me, mine, and the people like me) are properly served and everyone else is left to be accused of wrecking the system through their irresponsibility and sheer ickiness.

We already have government-run healthcare.  In order not to have government-run health care, you have to stop the government, you know, running it.

Thatisall.
