Thomas Sowell : "Great Scott!"

Townhall "One seat did not deprive the Democrats of big majorities in Congress. But one seat was the difference between being able to shut off debate in the Senate and having to allow debate on what was in this massive legislation.

It is driving hospitals towards bankruptcy and making it more difficult for people to see a doctor. Mr. Brown voted for the system in 2006 .... We were being eaten alive by health-care costs." Universal coverage hasn't changed that, however."
