Singer on health care

Philosopher/ethicist Peter Singer has a new Times Magazine piece, "Why We Must Ration Health Care." It's been #1 on the "most e-mailed" list for two days. (Take note, all you philosophers who think it's a waste of time to address a wide audience.)

He concludes with an interesting riposte to all those Fox News types who say Americans won't stand for "socialized medicine... just ask the Canadians and Brits." Well, Gallup did ask if they had confidence in their health care systems. The score: 73% in Canada and the U.K., 56% here.
