I posted the HH transcript this week because I think health care is an important subject. Ping or not as you see fit.

Once again a link to the column referred to in the transcript:

"Well, because I think most of the spokesmen for the conservative argument in Washington do not make the case. And they don’t understand that once you’ve got a government system, it becomes like any other government program..."(or they are not conservatives.)
