Carol C: Thanks for the blue clickies, particularly the one to the Kaiser Fund. It seems there has been a great deal of friction between Peter Orzsag, former director of the CBO, and Douglas Elmendorf, the current director. Elmendorf, it seems, is taking a much more conservative position on the results of the CBO evaluation of the draft plan submitted by the Senate committee than Orzsag is. It was this evaluation that sent the senators back to the drawing board.
Don Firth: Mudcatters, at times, confuse "evidence" with opinion.
McGrath: yes, you are correct. I left "not" out of the sentence.
Greg F.: you have no idea whether or not I shave every day. I might have a beard that reaches down to my waist.
Charles Krauthammer's column in today's edition of the Washington Post suggests a plan to correct the current ills of our health care program. It won't be considered, of course, because he suggests it.
