Maybe the best way to look at the health care bill is to ask questions.  And the best question I have seen came from commentator Jon Kraushar.

He passed along a question a liberal lawyer friend of his asked.  “Let me get this straight.  We’re going to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose head says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn’t read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president that also hasn’t read it, and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that’s nearly broke.  What possibly could go wrong?”

Lovely question, that.

Commentator Charles Krauthammer writes of the bill, “There is so much pain in here: increase in taxes, increase in premiums, extra bureaucracy, interference in the medical treatment of patients, which people will be able to feel and see within months and surely within years.  This will be a millstone around Democrats for years, if it passes.”

The question this prompts is: Why? 

Why force this bill upon the public?  Surely this is force that we are seeing. A big majority of the public keeps telling pollsters they do not want this bill.  Not in its present form.
