This is reason enough to avoid enriching him. The facts are in at this point, thanks to the many foreign countries we have as examples: the three functional options for delivering good health care are government-paid doctors (Britain & the VA), a government-run health insurance system (Canada and Medicare), and a massive amount of government regulation including the banning of for-profit health insurers entirely (Germany and Switzerland).

Massey opposes all three. This is something which has no sound basis, and can only be driven by ideological blinkers. The “free market” simply does not work for health insurance. Mackey’s failure to research that is a personal failure; his decision to go lobby in favor of idiocy, however, is a public failure and one which should encourage us to keep money out of his hands.

Well yeah. That’s true of almost every store. And I think that’s a good thing. I wouldn’t want to live in a country where every town had a Republican grocery store and a Democrat grocery store.
