Whole Foods Market CEO John Mackey has worked long and hard to “brand” his luxury grocery store as also being a liberal grocery store. Well, it’s been shown before not to be true.
And, some of his own proposals for his version of healthcare reform demonstrate that again.
• Tort reform;
• More “freedom” for health savings accounts;
• Looking only at Canada and the UK as alternatives, rather than Germany, France, Netherlands.
Not all of Mackey’s proposals are bad; just remember the source — a CEO busted for anonymous fluffing of his own company on blogs a couple of years back.
And, some people are nowrefusing to drink the Whole Foods coffee.

A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
