CNN rolls out the 50 million uninsured Americans garbage–again.
January 4th, 2008
Ms. Stangl’s heroic crusade aside, CNN’s Randi Kaye adds some background:
Research shows nearly 50 million people in the United States don’t have health insurance. Presidential contenders on both sides of the aisle are promising to change that. The Democrats are offering broader and more immediate changes, including subsidies and mandated insurance. The Republicans generally oppose any mandate but favor making insurance affordable through tax credits
What honest purpose is served by regurgitating this unenlightened belch of a statistic? It’s either rank carelessness or a committed effort to sustain a public hysteria only big government can address.
