Single-payer Medical Insurance — The Only Way
I suspect that a single-payer medical insurance system could work. I suspect, however, that it will be a Pigrolet version of government-run medical insurance that will be thrust upon us in the not-too-distant future. I suspect, I’m sad to say, that it will be a fiscal and practical failure of colossal and damaging proportions, preciselyContinueContinue reading “Single-payer Medical Insurance — The Only Way”
Groupthink on Climate Change Ignores Inconvenient Facts
Since we’ve now been living with the global warming story for 30 years, it might seem hard to believe that science could now come up with anything that would enable us to see that story in a wholly new light.
