Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey

In his book, Daschle proposed an appointed body with vast powers to make the "tough" decisions elected politicians won't make...

The stimulus bill does that, and calls it the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (190-192). The goal, Daschle's book explained, is to slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are driving up costs. He praises Europeans for being more willing to accept "hopeless diagnoses" and "forgo experimental treatments," and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system.

That's right folks, just line up to the trough. There you will find hope, meaning, purpose and longevity all ladled out evenly by the all-knowing Politburo.
