prescription for failure?


yesterday i suggested the complexity of the medicare prescription drug program makes me suspect they're trying to put something over on us, but i didn't say what, because i had no idea.

today, thanks to a washington journal caller, i have a possibility:
they're trying to break medicare!
think about it:
  • the gops historically have opposed any kind of government involvement in health care.
  • they call it "socialized medicine," trying to make it sound communistic.
  • the new program got passed in the wee hours of the morning after hours of arm-twisting.
  • it's going to cost at least twice what was claimed by its sponsors.
  • and, of course, it's so complicated it's driving seniors crazy, so they don't sign up.
does that sound like a prescription for success?
