1/ There is *so* much bad political philosophy in this article by @benshapiro I don't know where to start. So I'll start with the $15 chair.pic.twitter.com/tQCmqB9sQG
2/ Two key things abt healthcare v. furniture: 1. Your life really does depend on it 2. For basically ALL healthcare, there's no $15 optionpic.twitter.com/5p7Wk2G6Aj
3/ Then there's the commodity v. rights framing. What if access to certain commodities, in basic form, is also a right? *mind blown*
4/ Notice Shapiro never mentions, I dunno, a zillion things that cost $$: education, public safety, public defender. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/443737/health-care-markets-government-commodity-human-right?utm_source=nr&utm_campaign=healthcare&utm_medium=twitter&utm_content=shapiro …
5/ Crazily, the word "public" actually NEVER appears in this article about commodities v. rights. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/443737/health-care-markets-government-commodity-human-right?utm_source=nr&utm_campaign=healthcare&utm_medium=twitter&utm_content=shapiro …
6/ What's worst about this @benshapiro piece is the ludicrously simple frame it applies to a discussion that deserves, DEMANDS nuance.
7/ Healthcare is public OR private. A commodity OR a right. This is the kind of thinking that wins elections and destroys critical thinking.
love this bit ignoring that the US has the least government control of healthcare of any OECD country and the highest costspic.twitter.com/gMpYIhIFD2
