Ezra Klein neatly shoots down the myth that health care reform will lead to rationing. Why was his post so easy to write and this popular canard so quickly dismissed? Because we already ration health care...
We ration. We ration without discussion, remorse or concern. We ration health care the way we ration other goods: We make it too expensive for everyone to afford.(quick addendum, I had stopped reading EK when he moved to the WaPo and my reader was swamped, but everyone with any interest in healthcare reform should make sure to get their daily dose.)
