Go ahead and keep bashing the current administration and blaming their 9 month tenure for all of our nation's past and present ills. Have you not heard the President say repeatedly that medicare fraud is a major target of health care reform? The guy who stole the 20 million is IN JAIL, and the current administration is chasing after his buddies.

If you are at least willing to admit that health care reform is an important goal, then you've got two choices:
1) Give it to some private companies and let them compete with each other so that we can have a smooth, efficient, low-cost system. (Here's an idea - let's let AIG do it!), or:
2) Have the government run it. Keep supporting leaders who identify abuses and claim they want to fix them and then keep demanding that they do so. (Now of course this would entail admitting that the President might be on the right track about something, and that would fly in the face of everything you've ever said about him.)

So anyway, please tell me. Who would you have run the nation's more efficient health care system?
