Professor Krugman Tries To Be Clever. Again.
The ineffable Professor Paul Krugman in his NY Times column last Monday draws an analogy between guaranteeing health care "coverage" for every child and a similar guarantee of an education for every child also. It's all a matter of fairness, you see. Nowhere in this missive does Krugman stop to consider the awful performance of American public schools, with the obvious implications for a government-financed or operated health care system. Or the central reality that "coverage" is not the same as health care, particularly when budgets get tight and bureaucrats and polticians have to make choices about priorities amid a life-or-death tug-of-war by interest groups over shares of the government budget. Etc. In Krugmanland it's always the heartless conservatives against the forces of humanity led by... Krugman. How clever.
