It’s Friday, it’s late July, and your mind has wandered away from work (otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this). I suggest you find yourself an outdoor café, order yourself an iced latte, and while away the rest of the afternoon reviewing John McCain’s 2008 oppo file on Mitt Romney. This document been in the public domain for awhile, but like all classic literature it’s worth reading again and again to explore its subtler meanings. (Bill Galston, I hope you’ll forgive me.)

The NYT reported on Sunday that ACA will cause millions to become sick, creating a physician shortage. The Times later clarified that ACA wouldn’t actually make anybody sick, but would make persons out of the tens of millions of the currently uninsured, adding millions of sick persons not formerly treated as persons without adding any physicians to treat them and thereby creating a shortage of physicians. When asked whether the millions of potential uninsured persons who are not yet persons could simply be deported in order to avoid the costs of extending insurance to them after ACA makes persons out of them, the Times stated their reporters were researching the issue. Romney’s spokesman said Romney didn’t have a position on the issue, but reminded those present that corporations are persons. A reporter asked the Romney spokesman whether the hundreds of thousands of new corporations created every year were causing a physician shortage, and the spokesman responded “not if all those non-persons without insurance are deported”.
