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.
