Obamacare or Hillarycare: It's still socialized medicine

My friend Tom Krannawitter of Hillsdale College and one of his recent poli sci graduates, Kaitlyn Buss, have a sharp op-ed on Obama's health care proposals in today's Investor's Business Daily. Krannawitter and Buss compare Obama's ambitious plans to FDR's expansive scheming and put the lie to this notion that the senator from Illinois is a "left-libertarian." Oh, he's left, alright.

Krannawitter and Buss want a health care debate rooted in the Constitution: "(T)he socialized medicine that Obama dreams of is unconstitutional. Nowhere does the Constitution grant to Congress the power to cut a check for every American's medical bills. If Americans care anything about constitutional government, let us insist that every discussion of health care proposals begins with a review of what the Constitution authorizes government to do."
