From Paul Ryan
President Obama said in December: “If we don’t pass [this health care legislation]…the federal government will go bankrupt, because Medicare and Medicaid are on a trajectory that are (sic) unsustainable….” On first hearing, this argument sounds ludicrous: We must stop the nation from going broke by enacting a program costing $800 billion or more in the first decade alone? On the other hand, if the president means what he says, there is only one way to achieve his stated goal under the new program: through deep and comprehensive rationing of health care.”
