IBD: Brits wouldn't have a chance if they lived in Britain

dtb — 8/10/2009 8:12:33 PM (archived)

In an op-ed against health care reform, IBD noted that:

"People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless."

Psst, IBD, I don't think the Cambridge where Hawking lives is the one in Massachusetts. Not even the one in Idaho....
