Pipes Punctures State-Run Govt. Myths at Ath

Sally Pipes felt like detox after the Pomona non-debate on health care. I'm so glad that I finally decided on sitting at the head table.

I didn't even much mind that she insulted my eating habits when she suggested that I might have eaten less had I been paying for it. (Milton Friedman be damned, there is such a thing as a free lunch at an Ath event! Never you fear, I got my dig in against the Trayliban during the Question and Answer period.)

She's quite right, of course and Milton Friedman would agree with her critique of my rather ravenous behavior. After all, he wrote the introduction for her book before he passed away.

I've already blogged about the five myths that Ms. Pipes debunks about the health care crisis. You can read those five arguments here. Or you can listen to her talk about the issue here.

I thought I would just send along some of the stuff she's written against Mitt Romney's shame health care. It's worth reading just how bad mandates end up being.
