[lbo-talk] national health care-breeding ground for terrorism

[MICHAEL YATES]

When we lived in Pittsburgh, we used to watch a local religious TV 
station--Cornerstone TV. A frequent guest was a libertarian  (on matters 
economic not on social issues) guy who later started a local think tank, 
advocating the usual stupidity-home schooling, no taxes, no abortions, etc.  
His name is Jerry Boyer.  I just saw him on Fox dope Neil Cavuto's show.  He 
argued that a national health care system would make us a lot more 
vulnerable to terrorism.  There would be a lot of foreign doctors, many from 
Islamic nations, and it would be nigh impossible for a huge government 
bureaucracy to stop them form doing dastardly deeds.   I saw Sicko yesterday 
and I was wondering how the right would counter, besides using the Cuba 
angle and trotting out people with horror stories from countries with 
national health care.  Well, this was a new one for me!  Of course, Cavuto 
had no critical questions for Mr. Boyer.
