As I posted here, medical coverage isn’t the problem. It’s the associated runaway costs. We know it. They know it. So why isn’t anyone doing anything about it?

But Democrats said Bush’s budget targets the wrong health care providers for cuts. They said insurers subsidized to provide Medicare coverage are being overpaid.

“The president is proposing to once again slash health care coverage for seniors and low-income working Americans,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said. “The president’s cuts are exactly the wrong medicine when the cost of health care and the number of uninsured continue to rise and families are feeling economically insecure.”

Health care providers said the president’s recommendations would make it harder for them to meet expenses, which would continue to rise as a result of inflation, even as their reimbursement rates were frozen.

Greed: Mansions and summer homes. Multiple garages, expensive autos. Exotic vacations in far-off places. Memberships to the finest clubs. People laying dying on hospital sidewalks.

Greed: Keep feeding it.
