>> Lawmakers have wooed seniors skeptical of the health care overhaul by emphasizing the plan would close the "doughnut hole" — a gap in Medicare drug coverage that can cost thousands of dollars a year. Exactly. Seniors who, frankly, want it all for themselves and to leave nothing behind for their grandkids. It is sorry. The donut hole is there to make the program economically and actuarily sound, which it has done. Far and away the most successful government health care program to date. It kills the Left that GWB created it, but the fact is it is a huge success. Now, the liberals are going to kill it by removing the heart of its success -- the fact that it combines the right amounts of social support and personal responsibility. Personal responsibility. Goddammit, we can't have that, now can we?
