Megan McArdle on why she opposes nationalized health care:

I know, most of you have already figured out why I oppose national health care. In a nutshell, I hate the poor and want them to die so that all my rich friends can use their bodies as mulch for their diamond ranches. But y’all keep asking, so here goes the longer explanation.
Basically, for me, it all boils down to public choice theory. Once we’ve got a comprehensive national health care plan, what are the government’s incentives? I think they’re bad, for the same reason the TSA is bad. I’m afraid that instead of Security Theater, we’ll get Health Care Theater, where the government goes to elaborate lengths to convince us that we’re getting the best possible health care, without actually providing it.
That’s not just verbal theatrics.

Update: Woops, originally this post omitted the word “nationalized” which made it sound like McArdle opposes health care of any kind. Thanks to the reader who alerted me, who also noted that not even Derb is against health care, period.
