I would very much like to see a debate between Michael Cannon and Paul Krugman on the issue of SCHIP. Cannon has the evidence on his side, after all. And quite frankly, it would be nothing short of wonderful if the entire debate went to the issue of health care in general. For whatever reason, conservatives and libertarians have found themselves shut out of the issue of health care while the rest of the political spectrum–especially the left side of it–has been debating how to bring universal coverage to the masses. It is time for conservatives and libertarians to take the issue back for themselves and Cannon provides as good a method as any to do exactly that.

And by the way, if Krugman is not available, we could always have Cannon go up against Nancy Pelosi. That would be . . . um . . . interesting.
