Quote Of The Day: Howard Dean

Socialized health care works. The private health care industry is inefficient and "insurance companies do a terrible job". Holding this two thoughts, simultaneously, is of little use for Maria Bartiromo as she confuses drug research with health insurance:

"If you do a survey of Medicare, most people are happy with Medicare. There are no bureaucrats interfering between doctors and patients in Medicare. But there are a lot of bureaucrats interfering between private health insurance companies and patients and doctors. … It’s time that the special interests in Congress stopped influencing folks to make their choices for them, and let the American people choose." - Howard Dean

Why do we have to wait to be over 65 to have a public choice in this country?
