What all the anti-'health care reform' law suits are all about



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

From Katrina Vanden Heuvel:

With a firm renunciation of reason sitting in your corner, it makes perfect sense to argue, as Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli does, that his state’s anti-Obamacare lawsuit is “more about liberty than it is about health care.”

It is the quintessence of callousness for Cuccinelli and others like him to pit an academic definition of freedom against the well-being of the 1 million (or 15.1 percent) non-elderly Virginians who don’t have health insurance. Read in The Post about reporter Mary Otto’s visit to a free clinic run by Remote Area Medical Volunteer Corps, a Knoxville-based organization that provides free medical, dental, and veterinary care to rural and impoverished areas, which vividly illustrates the plight of the state’s uninsured.
