Steve doesn’t like this cartoon. His point, I think, is that the people making these irrational charges aren’t the ones who’ve been thrown off their insurance and left with the bills. So I have here the conflation of John Q. Public into a single person. Well, what can you do? This stuff enrages me. It makes me bruxate! Because, you see, these people may not have been thrown to the wolves, but I would bet that most of them could be at any moment and if they have their way, some of them will be. The Calculus of Insanity is tough. It’s always hard to say what’s craziest. But people who are on Medicare railing against government run medical programs is pretty well up there.
I spend year in and year out flabbergasted, depressed, enraged, hopeless with the American Public’s dogged determination to militate directly against their own interests.
Okay. I have fumed.
Steve? Anyone?
