It's an attempt at a salvo in the argument currently going on in the US about healthcare or "socialised medicine" as the right wingers term it. But can there be any more of a 'I have just shot myself in the foot' argument than this one:
Unless of course there's another famous scientist called Stephen Hawking that they haven't told us about. Which seems unlikely.
I suppose someone must have told them, but it's still right up there - Investor's Business Daily seem content to have their arse hanging out all over the net.
ETA: Oho, they found themselves looking stupid and took it down. However, we have the evidence.
