    regardless of value, outcomes or appropriateness

    care a first step to transform the way the
    federal government pays for health care

    people expect
  • Governments very expansion brings it into
    disrepute, results in paralyzed politics and
    impedes it from acting in the national interest

A Thought To Ponder
  • All history is only one long story to the
    effect Men have struggled for power over their
    fellow men in order that they might win the joys
    of earth at the expense of others, and might
    shift the burdens of life from their own
    shoulders upon those of others. William Graham
    Sumner
  • (1840-1910). An American academic and professor
    at Yale College
