Frank Pastore: Welcome to the Brave New World

Frank Pastore has this Townhall commentary discussing Nancy Pelosi’s recent argument that contraception equals economic stimulus.  Pastore writes:

Socialist governments ration healthcare when demand exceeds supply—when there’s simply not enough money or medical resources available to provide health care services to all of the people all of the time. . .

Consider that in Canada it’s now illegal for a doctor to provide services outside of the system. Which explains, of course, why you see so many Canadians in America getting healthcare.

So, according to the person third in line for the presidency, spending money on contraception is a good economic stimulus because it will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government . . .

And you thought Aldous Huxley was writing science fiction. Welcome to the Brave New World.
