Obama & Louise

"The record of the government administering health care is actually pretty good."

That's a quote from President Obama during an interview today with talk radio host Michael Smerconish. The President then went on to assert that Medicare's overheads and administrative costs were lower than those of private health insurers.

Yet even the President agrees that Medicare will be insolvent in less than 8 years. So that's like Thelma noting that Louise's driving record "is actually pretty good," even as their car hurdles toward the edge of the Grand Canyon.
