Treated to yet another dose of Mr. Forbes this morning on MSNBC we find that he is hawking a book ergo he piddle-twiddles with commoners and earnestly explains why free markets are the solution to everything...although caught repeatedly in "you can make it up" facts and figures....I loved the "life expectency rate", in which the US is not a world leader...in fact we are pretty much dead even with Albania.....to which (and this was a health care question)..it's because of guns and auto accidents so Mr. Forbes alleges without which we would be #1....so why change anything. Of course you can't just push him aside and call him a teller of tales, but that is what he is.
He went on to challenge Canada which puts up better numbers across the board in health care effected expectencies and that is "because all Canadians come to the US to get well". Yet another red herring. I don't admire anyone in "position" who tosses out bonbons of silliness because they cloud the debate.
It is a bit like our buddies Goldman. It is perfectly legitimate for corporations or entities to put in for vaccination distribution. It happens all the time. That Goldman got 200 doeses as did Lenox Hill hospital seems a bit out of place but I wonder who the PR person is at Goldman....does he, like Mr. Forbes, live on another planet where common sense doesn't matter?...where doing or saying something really dumb is ok just because you can?
I really have to believe there are better decision makers around who can see a situation for what it is and react decently.
