You have to have a sense of humor if you follow politics. Otherwise, the sheer fraudulence of it all will get you down.

Virtually everything that the government does costs more than when the same thing is done in private industry - whether it is building housing, running prisons, collecting garbage, or innumerable other things. Why in the world would we imagine that health care would be the exception?
