If you voted for the Current Occupant a year ago, I 'hope' you've come to your senses about it. As a Constitutional scholar, BarryO doesn't need to "learn" what he should and shouldn't do, he knows exactly what he's doing and is getting exactly the results he knew he would get. And even with his unConstitutional use of 'czars' to help run things, he has to have the help of the CongressWeasels in most of his schemes. There is still a system for 'change' in this country, and San Fran Nan is not the idiot we wish she was...
Thomas Sowell points out some hard truths today in his column about The Costs of Medical Care. A bit from that column:
Letting old people die would undoubtedly be cheaper than keeping them alive — but that does not mean that the costs have gone down. It just means that we refuse to pay the costs. Instead, we pay the consequences. There is no free lunch.
Providing free lunches to people who go to hospital emergency rooms is one of the reasons for the current high costs of medical care for others. Politicians mandating what insurance companies must cover is another free lunch that leads to higher premiums for medical insurance — and fewer people who can afford it.
ADDED: Mona Charon gives a personal story about the costs of the coming health care fiasco.
UPDATE: Thomas Sowell's "The 'Costs' of Medical Care, Part II" is here.
