I'm already sick of the presidential campaign

The media seem most interested in having the government assume the burden of everybody's health care. Despite all of Glenn Reynolds' optimism, from my position of 15 years of rheumatoid arthritis, the medical care system seems more able to prolong the misery than to really make life better. The main things I can see that might slow down the rising costs, market forces and restrictions on rewarding litigation, aren't seriously being considered. Everybody seems to assume that the government can afford this along with all the other entitlements.

Hello? Is anybody paying attention at all to the financial outlook for Medicare Medicaid and Social Security? Is it really justified to assume that the government will pay all our personal expenses? Once more people are drawing out than are paying in, what future is there for democracy?
