That is Sheldon Richman’s argument in this column. Obama’s big plans do not in the least reform the inefficiencies that we have as a result of over-reliance on insurance. On the contrary, they make things worse.

The Obamacrats are trying to sell the massive pig in a poke by setting up a false choice between “reform” (change, hope, audacity and all that) and “doing nothing,” with the insinuation that the “do nothing” camp is in league with the insurance companies. After you read Richman’s article you’ll understand why that’s pure deception.
