Re: False argument
If anyone thinks that turning our health care over to a government-controlled bureaucracy is going to "get the crippling economic costs of health care under control," it's very likely that they're the ones with their heads in the sand.
That premise holds no water at all. None.
Feel free to deploy any example of a major government program anytime in the last century that has displayed greater efficiency, less waste, and low costs in delivering a specific service or product. Maybe the DoD? NASA? Government schools?
Bring numbers.
