Fortunately, self-serving, politically biased meddling by presidential 
administrations is pretty rare in Washington, DC.  It is almost unheard 
of that there is more than one such at any time.  We can therefore 
proceed with confidence in irrevocably handing over the health care of 
all of us to the federal government.

I wonder if federal representatives and employees will absent 
themselves from participation in, and dependence on, a national health 
insurance program in favor of another program, as was done with Social 
Security?  I sure hope so!  I wouldn't be able to sleep if government 
clerks and Senators and other such important people were forced into 
the same health insurance or retirement program that my family is 
required to use.
