And Weasel, what you miss is that Obama’s proposed takeover is window dressing disguising the larger reality: that Medicare and Medicaid will be bankrupt soon because they are too generous to their current recipients.

Obama hopes to force the uninsured into buying insurance to increase the dollars flowing into the health care system, while reducing the level of services everyone receives dramatically. That’s the only way to reduce costs in the health system. We’ll be paying a lot more for a lot less.

That is absolutely false. I have already rebutted some of this before.
