At the risk of jeopardizing my reputation as a free marketeer and anti-tax crusader, I feel it’s time that someone lay out the absolute truth about the current health care crisis and provide the obvious solution which no one in government seems to have the brains or integrity to propose.

I’m on the last leg of a three-week trip through the northeast which has included visits to the birthplace of America (Williamsburg, VA), the birthplace of liberty (Boston, MA), the birthplace of the constitution (Philadelphia, PA) and the place where liberty and the constitution and the nation as we know it are dying a slow [...]
