As usual, great analysis Dr. Sowell. Ever notice how those that would post ignorant statements, are unable to write or spell correctly? All they can do is engage in name-calling without ever providing anything of real substance to the discourse. It makes it so easy to see and understand who are those that are indeed incredibly stupid.

All modern humans are descended from a wormlike creature, but it shows more on some people.

Obama is a LIAR! Liars come in all colors and they need to be "called out" regardless of the garb they wear. We now have a con man in a tuxedo so everyone thinks we should be polite and let him be. Nonsense. A spade is a spade, it's just that now we have a black spade. The fact that he is a spade is irrelevant, what is relevant is that it belongs to a crooked deck. Player beware!

Dr. Sowell you are always on the mark. Your clear thinking is such an inspiration.

I would favor first cleaning-up the waste and corruption in our health care system (mainly the government. Second, consider lowering the premiums for those who are willing to pay for a higher co-pay when it comes to routine doctor's visit such as the common cold. This alone would save billions of dollars.

However, I am very happy with my private health care provider and would not change it. It's just the best I have ever had in my life.
