Quote of the Day: “How do you know a politician is lying? His lips are moving.” — a proverb
Subject: Do you need the government to provide non-profit health insurance?
If some magic could be used to prevent politicians from lying, would they have anything left to say? We ask this question only partly in jest. Deception really does seem to be the dominant mode of speech for politicians. The latest example comes from claims being made by the President and Congressional leaders that . . .
* There’s too much profit in the health insurance business
* We need more non-profit health insurance providers
* The government should foster non-profit insurance by creating co-ops
John Lott punctures these claims in a column that’s well worth reading . . .
