I keep wanting to post this, but every time I try to I wind up laughing in a disconcertingly maniacal fashion until I fall down, and the laughs morph indistinguishably into sobs.

My favorite argument ever for why healthcare reform is going to bring about the end of the world has arrived, in the form of an editorial the Investor’s Business Daily.

In a nutshell,* the author notes that if Stephen Hawking lived in the UK, he would be dead.

Because, you see, their National Health Services would have deemed him unworthy and never have given him health care.

Eventually, of course, some more informed soul tapped the editor on the shoulder and discreetly notified him that Stephen Hawking is British, and he corrected the editorial.

But I think it’s already damaged their case a bit, frankly. Top that, daft arguments!

Damn, I wish I could have seen that. I don't think I would've been able to keep a straight face.
