One of the first questions every Democrat in Congress should ask before casting a vote in favor of government-run health care is this: “Does the government have the capacity to efficiently run our health care system?”

One doesn’t even need to theorize –the proof that government is not equipped to take over and run one-sixth of our economy is answered in the present. 

Just today, The Washington Post highlights a new federal report which finds that the federal government made $47 billion in improper Medicare payments in the past year, wasting “taxpayer money at a rate nearly three times that of the previous year.”

If the government is unable to manage a program aimed at aiding only 15% of the total U.S. population without wasting billions of taxpayer money each year, how much less will it be able to run the entire health care system with any efficiency?
