Government isn’t big enough. It’s supposed to give every person within it’s borders free food, drugs, housing, and a job to do for the good of all. It’s worked so well in…..fantasyland.

Also, when I buy tomatoes, I don’t have to worry about the co-pay nor do I assume Medicare will cover my purchase (reimbursing the grocery at 50% of the list price, so they are forced to raise all its other prices as compensation) and my employer doesn’t offer tomatoes as part of the “benefit package.”

Intervention by Big Government has totally screwed up the so-called “health care”/”health insurance” market, so to the geniuses at places like Media Matters, the only possible solution is even more and bigger intervention.

Small clue for Mr. Lewis: tomatoes fall into a general class of materials that we generally refer to as “food”. Additional clue, Mr. Lewis – we don’t have to posit that “somebody” might need tomatoes – read “food” – to live. Guess what? We all do.

And amazingly enough, one doesn’t need 2,000+ pages of bureaucracy to generate a system that makes food available generally.

True there are food stamps and such, but one doesn’t have to remake the national food production / distribution / retailing systems in order to help out those who might find an adequate supply of food a problem.

Not that this country has an shortage of obese people at any socio-economic level.
