Senate Committee sent out an incomplete healthcare reform bill today seeking approval by the entire Senate. This is the latest in a series of Potemkin Villages the president can view while bobbing along in his dingie propelled by two oars: self importance on one side and hubris on the other.
There was a time in our history when 9 out of 10 people in the US worked in agriculture and some how the government didn’t see a need to reform agriculture. Similary, general manufacturing peeked in the use peeked in 1958 with over 40% of the us labor force working in manufacturing, where was the crisis then? Now with healthcare involved in 17% of our GDP and less about 10% of the US labor force, somehow we need “reform”, I’m not buying it.
For this to work, you must first believe that when smart people enter into government services they somehow become infinately more intelligent, and therefore better positioned to make your medical decissions. If that is your beilef, please inform me of any situation in which that exists. I would love to see it.
