Fuck Healthcare... Universal Wi-Fi!
To: Thomas Friedman & Nicholas Kristof
Re: Calling All Luddites & When Pigs Wi-Fi
These recent columns call for giving each American "a log on, not a log out". I'm wondering if the public utility model also applies to healthcare, or if increased economic growth due to wireless internet access will allow all Americans to purchase private insurance, or if, failing that, they can at least download the latest journal articles, and see the care they would be getting if they didn't lack economic success, and therefore value...
You may argue that the two are incomparable due to cost. This is true, in reverse: the experience of other wealthy nations suggests that universal healthcare would have a steep negative cost.
Note: Sent only to Kristof. Friedman doesn't provide an email address for plebes.
