The Supreme Court?s Dark Vision of Freedom

It?s always a bit strange to hear people with government-funded single-payer health plans describe the need for other Americans to be free from health insurance. But after the aggressive battery of questions from the court?s conservatives this morning, it?s clear that we can only be truly free when the young are released from the obligation to subsidize the old and the ailing. Justice Samuel Alito appears to be particularly concerned about the young, healthy person who ?on average consumes about $854 in health services each year? being saddled with helping pay for the sick or infirm?even though, one day that will describe all of us. Or as Justice Antonin Scalia later puts it: ?These people are not stupid. They're going to buy insurance later. They're young and need the money now.? (Does this mean that if you are young and you pay for insurance, Scalia finds you ?stupid??)
