The Free Lunch

The Senate meets today to mull the health care regime with Democrats claiming the burden of the program will be borne by eliminating fraud and inefficiencies. If such a level of snafus prevailed, we would have long ago claimed the savings and would not be involved in the "hell care" debate today. Greater efficiencies do not seem to exist in the VA health care debacle or the Post Office, but the Democrats can magically wring them out of the system without costing the taxpayers anything. And the Senate talks now focus on the program costing the poor even less, but this would never create an additional expense for the more productive Americans-especially the taxed to death middle class.
