Very Funny New York Times Editorial
But since the editors have no sense of humor, I assume the humor here was unintended:
President Obama has shown both courage and sound judgment pressing for quick action on comprehensive health care reform…..His budget has proposed huge expenditures – $634 billion over 10 years – as a down payment…..
But his proposals, for all of their ambition, do not fully answer two central questions: how to cover tens of millions of uninsured Americans, and how to reform the health care system to reduce costs and improve the quality of care.
It’s worse than not having a sense of humor. They have a sour, often angry , view of life.
Thee are only three basic problems: cost, quality and access. To propse to spend two thirds of a trillion dollars and not have any proposal for solving them is not really funny. It’s tragic.
Peter Orszag is in the news this morning — still refusing to give any details on how the money will be spent.
