Health Care Distortions and Lies

Investor's Business Daily in a column today takes on the health care claims fueling the current stampede towards socialized medicine and finds that virtually all are false. SEE HERE
To summarize:
• America has a health care crisis. Nope — 4% maybe lack health care.
• Health care reform will save money. Nope — unsustainable 1 to 3.6 trillion
• Only the rich will pay for reform. Nope — likely to produce systemic unemployment as employers are hit for 8%, opting out will cost you 2% the rich will pay the most until they move.
• Government-run health care produces better results. Probably the biggest lie. The American system is the best in the world measured by our recovery rates from major diseases compared to the rest of the world.
• The poor lack care. Lacking insurance is not the same thing as lacking care. Anyone who walks into an Emergency Room must be treated and there are many programs for the poor and indigent.

Figures don't like but liars figure. If you're part of the 89% who are happy with their health care, if this goes through that will change.
