Look at some of the discussion to this blog post - meganmcardle.theatlantic.com Particuarly outrageous is Ave Cassandra's comparison of opposition to nationalized health care to support of Nazi death camps. Quoting Martin Niemöller's poem about German intelectuals lack of response to growing Nazi abuses and implying that it applies to opposition to nationalized health care and/or libertarian ideas in general. meganmcardle.theatlantic.com I called her on it and replied to other people here meganmcardle.theatlantic.com " Ave Cassandra - Re: "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out" Arguing against "universal health care" doesn't even vaguely resemble running or supporting Nazi concentrations camps, and the attempt at implying it does is very unreasonable, and either dishonest, or an example of an incredible lack of perspective." -- Also see ruben's comments "Interesting how libertarians persist in the belief that individualism is the be all and end all..." "Having a society where everyone has equal access to health care, not restricted by their ability to pay is the right thing to do morally because it makes us a better stronger more civilized society." meganmcardle.theatlantic.com I reply to him as well " rueben - re: Interesting how libertarians persist in the belief that individualism is the be all and end all" Most libertarians don't believe that. It is interesting how many non-libertarians persist in the belief that opposing a large, expanding, intrusive state equals belief that individualism is the be all and end all. re: "Having a society where everyone has equal access to health care, not restricted by their ability to pay is the right thing to do morally because it makes us a better stronger more civilized society." Having a society where everyone has equal access to health care can only be realized by reducing the access to health care for some, probably many. Its anything but the right thing to do morally. Pulling others down because they have it better than you, or than some third person is quite immoral. Posted by Tim Fowler \| August 25, 2007 1:03 PM " meganmcardle.theatlantic.com
