Opinion: Charles Koch — oops! — praises Obamacare without knowing it
(snip)
Charles Koch, the Tea Party billionaire who helped finance it all, as good as admits in his new book that it was a load of crap.
In “Good Profit,” his new management guide and libertarian political manifesto, Koch laments the rise of collectivism and socialism and holds out New Zealand, Switzerland, Singapore and Hong Kong as the models of economic freedom that the rest of us should follow instead.
What he somehow forgets to mention? All four of those libertarian paradises have universal health-care systems that are as “socialized” as Obamacare or more so.
Oops.
