Sound familiar?
I was reading the Miami New Times today and saw a letter to the editor that mentioned something that sounded eerily familiar. The letter was in reference to an article in the August 16th edition of MNT written by the beautiful Tamara Lush. The piece in question was entitled "117 Dead" and was about the state of health care in Miami-Dade's correctional facilities. The reader who wrote the letter was pointing out the inadequacy of the system's medical director's justification which was as follows:
Yet CHS Medical Director Dr. Kathryn Villano is confident prisoners get the best medical attention possible. "The inmates have much greater access to health care in jail than on the street," she says. "In jail a nurse can refer them to a clinic and they go there within a day or a couple of days."
A yes, we've heard claims of great health care as a justification for the unjustifiable.

That's what I can never get. All of these people who say "It's OK if somebody doesn't have property rights or political freedom as long as they have some form of state-sponsored health care provided for them."
Yeah, sure, lock me up for wearing cheeky T-shirts, knock on my door in the middle of the night and haul me away because of some smack I was talking in the market, encourage my own kids to spy on me, but GODS FORBID I pay a red cent at the doctor's office! Way to have those priorities straight, Lefties!
