Ironically, fiscal conservatives’ rigidity of opposition to the new Medicare Part D prescription program is allowing the field to proponents of government-run nationalized health care, whose critiques of the difficulties of choice among the private insurance options are meant to create far larger costs and government-run programs.
As my op-ed begins:
Most partisan liberals and conservatives are in need of a reality-prescription to clarify their approach to the new Part D Medicare prescription drug benefit. This is a classic polarized left-right ideological confrontation that neglects the interests of the vast middle.
Sticking in the mud is not the answer.
Please see my op-ed, “Enlisting doctors in Part D Medicare choices,” up at the Washington Examiner.
While there, look around at the other opinion pieces, and make it a daily stop.
