11. 10
• A liberal supporter of California's 1994 single-
payer initiative was speaking to a
conservative audience and decided to appeal
to their financial self-interest. He pointed out
that the savings in administrative costs would
get them the same health benefits for less
money while also paying for health care for
the indigent. A woman responded, "It just
sounds wrong to me. I would be paying for
somebody else." Why did his appeal to her
economic self-interest fail? Explain, from a
SF or NP viewpoint.
