Betsy McCaughey clearly does not want a real dialogue about health care reform. If left unchecked it is estimated by most experts that health care costs will rise from current 17% of GDP up to 25% of GDP by 2020. When will Ms. McCaughey and the party of “no” start worrying about these uncontrolled costs, when they reach 50% of GDP?
Instead Ms. McCaughey took language from one or two pages of a comprehensive health care bill, which referred to living wills and other life sustaining directives, and tried to turn that into death squads. It was a perfect venue for her, a comedy show but she was the real joke.
