I EAT KLEENEX FOR BREAKFAST… Feeling much better today; mental activity returning to normal levels. It’s like when you’ve been away from your computer for hours, but left it on, and when you get back and tap the mouse it takes a while for the screen to slowly iris back to life. Anyway, as long as we’re on the subject of health, I thought this Ron Bailey column on restructuring health insurance was really interesting. Ultimately via Welch, whom I need to return to the blogroll; the comments to the post that ultimately led me to the Bailey column are definitely worth a look as well. (More so than the comments at Reason’s blog, IMO, which shouldn’t be too surprising–any blog that caters to a well-defined political population, e.g. “we’re a leftist blog” or “we’re a libertarian blog” or “we’re a warblog,” and generally posts quick snippets rather than long wade-through-the-nuances posts, and has a large readership will attract lots and lots of sloganeering and thoughtlessness. It’s the ol’ Sturgeon Rule in operation–ninety percent of everything is crap.)
