Allow me to try to
tape my libertarian
hat back together            HEALTH
for a few minutes...


    Michael Moore places a lot of
    emphasis on the immorality of
    thinking about profit at all
    where health care is concerned.

          This ignores the
          need for some        There's often a need to
          form of "triage".    make a cold decision,
                               no matter how much you'd
                               rather not have to.

    Michael Moore says
    that he doesn't see
    any problem with
    waiting for your
    slice of the pie.

    But keeping people waiting for
    critical health care...  isn't
    that also immoral?  Some people            If you presume it's
    will die on the lines, just as             going to remain legal
    some people might die without              to pay for health
    the cash to pay...                         care if you *want* to,
                                               then the rich will
                                               always have a way
                                               of jumping the line.

                                               Eliminating a health
                                               care industry that
                                               caters to the middle
                                               class would make it
                                               impossible for the
                                               middle class to get
                                               out of the queue...

                                                  (Somehow it's always
                                                   the middle that gets
                                                   squeezed these days...)
