Here is how Reuters describes ObamaCare in its story today about the law being ruled unconstitutional by the District Court:
The healthcare overhaul, a cornerstone of Obama’s presidency, aims to expand health insurance to cover millions of uninsured Americans while also curbing costs.
I’m surprised Reuters didn’t add, “You’d have to be nuts to oppose that.” But I suppose ObamaCare does aim to do that – just that it is about as likely to happen as getting a free lunch. This is particularly the case when you don’t add in the cost of the imposition itself – which reminds me of Milton Friedman’s quip (and I paraphrase) that if we didn’t include all of the costs to conscripts of conscription, we’d also have to argue that the Pyramids were a damn cheap government project!
