One need only look at Medicare and Medicaid to see that the government is the last entity a sane person would want dictating another government-mandated health care policy. Fraud and waste run rampant in both systems. No one is even certain as to who much both programs lose to fraud every year. Is this what Americans really want? Another inefficient, wasteful, government-mandated/run program? Are Americans so foolish or apathetic they can't see the writing on the wall that this congress and president believe health care reform means more waste, fraud, ineffiicency and health care rationing?
