A Question I Wish Someone Asked Tonight [Jonah Goldberg]
corner.nationalreview.com

From a reader:
Jonah; I have never seen this point made: all of Europe, which has nationalized health care already, is also experiencing the current economic crisis. Why does Obama believe that bringing national health care here will in any way save us a similar economic crisis in the future? He keeps repeating that only if we get health care costs under control will we have “real” prosperity, but the countries that have already “tackled” this problem in the past were not spared their own economic meltdowns.

The Health Care Answer [Ramesh Ponnuru]
It is perfectly reasonable to suggest that we have to control health-care costs in order to get the budget into long-term balance. It is hard to see how the administration's spending plans bear any relation to that goal. Obama seems more interested in expanding access to insurance than in controlling costs, and it seems as though the political pressures on the administration and the Congress are mostly going to push against cost control too.
