“Take 2 Aspirin & Call Me When Your Cancer Is Stage 4”

When she’s good, she’s very very good. Ann Coulter on the Democrats’ idea of fixing problems that come from government intervention with more government intervention. In other words, “trying to sober up by having another drink.” Here’s an excerpt from “Take 2 aspirin and call me when your cancer is stage 4” (read it all):

“Even two decades after the collapse of liberals’ beloved Soviet Union, they can’t grasp that it’s easier and cheaper to obtain any service provided by capitalism than any service provided under socialism.

You don’t have to conjure up fantastic visions of how health care would be delivered in this country if we bought it ourselves. Just go to a grocery store or get a manicure. Or think back to when you bought your last muffler, personal trainer, computer and every other product and service available in inexpensive abundance in this capitalist paradise.

Third-party payer schemes are always a disaster – less service for twice the price! If you want good service at a good price, be sure to be the one holding the credit card. Under “universal health care,” no one but government bureaucrats will be allowed to hold the credit card.

Isn’t food important? Why not “universal food coverage”? If politicians and employers had guaranteed us “free” food 50 years ago, today Democrats would be wailing about the “food crisis” in America, and you’d be on the phone with your food care provider arguing about whether or not a Reuben sandwich with fries was covered under your plan.

Instead of making health care more like the DMV, how about we make it more like grocery stores? Give the poor and tough cases health stamps and let the rest of us buy health care – and health insurance – on the free market.”

    Does Ann Coulter really have a chopped, lowrider ’57 Chevy with neon chaser lights? 🙂

    Actually, I agree with everything up to the mention of “health stamps” last sentence. I’d prefer to follow the Constitution and let private charity provide for indigents.

    Ann wrote a column that showed a glimpse of some real thinking (instead of just “eeeeeek liberal!”) for a change.
