At the bottom of all this Medicare for All business is the weakness it shows that resides to varying degrees in all of us. It is the weakness of ignorance about liberty, history, and economics. It is also the weakness of not wanting to grow up. And that combination of ignorance, foolishness, and childishness only wrecks the adult world in which we live.

Millions in America now tragically and foolishly follow the lead of the freedom- and wealth-destroying Left. Its propaganda, false promises, and foolish ideas are alluring but in the end destructive. Their values would destroy the Costcos of America. They are well on the road to destroying our great medical system.
