JF, I like how Timothy Johnson brings up the following argument:

> One of the arguments against universal coverage usually unfolds under the ironic label "moral hazard" - that if we morally weak humans are offered something "free" (meaning that someone else is paying for it) we will abuse it. For example, a bowl of free candy will disappear much more quickly than candy you have to pay for yourself. But that argument assumes people would consume health care in the same way they gobble down free candy. I think that conclusion is crazy.

He must have fallen off the turnip truck if he thinks such abuse isn't going on right now.
