Health Policy: The Intellectual Collapse of the Right Continues…

Live from Crow’s Coffee: A correspondent emails:

You apparently didn’t arrive at the Kansas City Medicaid expansion event last night in time to hear:

(1) Cato’s Michael F. Cannon denounce ObamaCare for not eliminating employer-sponsored insurance, and thus getting people the kind of insurance that vanishes when they get sick and lose their job.

(2) Cato’s Michael F. Cannon denouncing Medicaid expansion for giving insurance to people even when they are not employed, and so eliminating the necessity to find and keep a job if you want health insurance.

You see what he did there? You are right about Think Tanks staffed by those more desperate to please ideologically-rigid billionaires than to actually think about the issues.
