Senator Bernie Sanders, Loonbag of Vermont, has been the leading voice in the United States for

Socialized Healthcare. His call for such a policy amounts to this tweet he issued last night,

quote, people who can't afford health care do not deserve to die. This, of course, has nothing

to do with policy and everything to do with an immature worldview that suggests that government

can tame every unfairness in life. Of course, no one deserves to

die because they can't afford health care, but no one deserves to die for any reason other than

their own evil criminality. People don't deserve to die of cancer. People don't deserve to die in

car accidents. People don't deserve to die peacefully in their beds in old age. As Clint Eastwood says

in Unforgiven, deserves got nothing to do with it. The question

in public policy isn't one of motivation. Nobody right or left believes that poor, sick people

deserve to die. The question is how to best increase access to health care. The right believes

that increase in supply is necessary in order to create competition and therefore lower cost

and increased quality. This means deregulation.

The left believes that current supply must be redistributed. One of these views in every single

area of life has generated more access to wealth and health. One of these views has generated

less. If there is a question of morality, attendant to health care, it isn't whether people

deserve death based on cost, whether health care providers can be forced to serve people at a loss, and whether doing so will help more patients in the long run.

But Sanders' simplistic kindergarten slogan-eering convinces a lot of people who refuse to acknowledge the decent intentions of their ideological opponents.

It's not designed to achieve better health care. It's designed to slander people who disagree about the

method for achieving better health care without violating the rights of others. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is the

Ben Shapiro show. Okay, so we have a lot to get to today. Up to and including President

Trump is now tweeting about Amazon and we're going to talk about the media fight and we're going to talk about Trump care. So lots and lots of things to talk about. But before we get to any of that, I first want to say thank you to our sponsors over at Legacy Box. So if you are looking to preserve your memories, your childhood memories, if you want your parents to preserve their memories, then you need to go to Legacy Box right now. I'm a stickler for this sort of thing.
