Health Care Reformers Ignore the Facts

The great philosopher Groucho Marx noted that politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong solutions. This seems to be especially true in the case of health care reform. History is littered with examples of good intentioned government programs. In virtually every case those same programs under deliver, cost far more than expected and create unintended consequences that require yet more spending and more regulation. We need to give serious thought and discussion to any health care reform. I vote no to giving it to the same people that brought us the mortgage meltdown, control social security, manage immigration policy, or run the railroad.
