Apparently it isn’t just the global warming alarmists who have decided to use a scurrilous variant on “holocaust denier” to bash their opponents. From Ezra Klein:
The insurance industry isn’t prone to overhyping the millions of Americans without insurance, and if they thought themselves capable of calling it 15 million rather than 45 million, they would. They don’t. And so, if you’re a denier, ask yourself: Are you really comfortable with a world in which the insurance industry is more intellectually honest than you are? [Italics added]
So, I guess those of us who question how big the problem of the uninsured is are now “uninsured deniers.” In other words, we are moral scum. Of course, that means that CBO, Urban Institute and Blue Cross Blue Shield are scum too.
