Liberal hypocrisy knows no bounds.
They do because scaring people about their health works, and the journalism schools all teach the liberal myth that big daddy government will kiss the boo-boo and make it all right. During World War II price controls, when salaries could not be increased, employers petitioned to exempt health benefits so that they could attract better employees. So the price cops ruled that health insurance would not count as income. Those without the subsidy demanded protection and were rewarded with Medicaid, Medicare and the rest. To save money just pay providers less and, since doctors are rich, average citizens do not much care.
