Universal Gov't Health Care, Shoddy Medicine for All

Investor's Business Daily, winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize, reports:

"When the government runs [universal health care]...the care will be rotten, rationed and so free that it will impoverish the country."

Lawrence Kudlow, commentator, said it best regarding the AIG bungled government take-over: "It...shows, once again, why the government shouldn't run anything, because it cannot run anything.
