I've just pointed out, time and again, that of all the government run health care programs, it is the best -- largely because of the structure which uses private insurance companies to provide the service rather than a bloated government plan like is being proposed for our "health care reform". If the liberals in Congress would propose something like Part D for the health care reform they'd have a lot of support for it, and if Part D is any indication, they'd end up with an affordable program that wouldn't bankrupt the country. Which shows what a partisan hack you are...you scream murder at SS unfunded liabilities and here we have an program entirely unfunded but because it was a republican program, though a give away to pharma, you sing its praises. In fact, the new Medicare prescription drug benefit enacted in 2006 (Part D) alone adds some $17 trillion to the projected Medicare shortfall - an amount greater than all of Social Security's unfunded obligations. ncpa.org Al
