Open Letter to President Obama

Don Boudreaux 9 March 2010 One Comment

Dear Mr. Obama:

CBS radio news this morning ran a clip of one of your recent speeches.  In it, you criticize insurance companies because they “ration coverage … according to who can pay and who can’t.”

Further pondering of your point leads to see fascinating possibilities.  Not only insurers, but all producers who greedily refuse to supply persons who don’t pay should be set aright.  Now I’m sure that you don’t ration the supply of the books you write according to any criteria as sordid as requiring people actually to pay for them.  But our society is full of people less enlightened than you.

    I’m honestly surprised that there is no intellectual backlash to insurance company bashing. Premiums are high because medical care is high. Premiums rise because the cost of care rises.

    This isn’t a good vs evil fight. We don’t need to create a demon to slay.

    Is Obama so simple that he can’t see this or is it his supporters?
