If you do nothing else this weekend, read this article in the Wall Street Journal by Flier and Goldhill. It spells out the real reason why health insurance and care costs are so high and the relationship of Medicare and Medicaid to the problem of the uninsured.

As you know, Take It Back in cooperation with the County Medical Society, the Dayton Chamber of Commerce and the Hospital Association sponsored a summit for the purpose of focusing on the community as the real answer to caring for the needs of the poor and uninsured.

Now comes evidence that precious resources for medical care for this population is being diverted to large salaries for the local medicaid HMO, Care Source (Dayton Daily News- Jan 10th).  That such resources, using your tax dollars should go to the most favored by government elites raises the question as to  the real motives for health care reform.  It is certain that if ObamaCare becomes a reality, the Care Source behemoths of this republic will gain greatly, based primarily on their political support for this administration and its Congressional allies.

It is altogether appropriate that you call upon your local state reps and senators to investigate this misadventure.
