Of Course there is the practical matter of the invisible forces of process.

The effect of subsidized drugs will encourage preventative treatments that may well reduce the number who would sooner become ill with far more expensive pounds of cure diseases.

Doing this with private health plans with an interest in cost control maximizes the efficient utilization of resources.

If this creates a large shift in societal disease trends medicare may be far more viable and health costs overall go down.

Do you believe everyone is out to steal or are most honest and trying to do the right thing.

Will dishonest people cheat and steal? Stupid govenment employees spending other's money are the crooks dreams.

Fine. Just then don't turn around and try to claim there's no pressure from Bush to increase social spending.

This is a perfectly respectable way to deal with the matter, on conservative principles:

You - on the domestic side, there has been neither a large effort to cut back, nor large initiatives to increase, spending, apart from the costs of defense.

Me - What about the drug program?

You - Oh but that's a GOOD idea.
