Cay Johnston: If We Had ‘Universal Health Care,’ We’d Save Hundreds of Billions

EXCERPT:

JOHNSTON: "No, and the reason is the Democrats are playing defense instead of offense. Bruce is exactly right, they're just lying through their teeth about this, but if that's the only message you hear, you'll believe it. Here's the fact Democrats ought to be out pushing. If we had universal health care, either the French or the German system, the amount of money it would save is the equivalent of eliminating income taxes for everyone who makes less than $500,000 a year. It would get health care off the backs of small businesses. And as somebody who's a founder of a small business, there was nothing more vexing than being deterred from trying to make profits, which we managed to do, to deal with health care. The Democrats got to stop playing defense and go on the offense here."
