Private sector can better handle health care reform debate
Cat Thomas argues that a liberal Democrat overvalues government spending and urges trimming federal health role. He cites Medicare expansion and immigrant food stamp restorations as likely moves to appease leftists, while praising private enterprise and employer based health plans like Minnesota's BHCAG.
