Brooks Casts His Vote

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/18/opinion/18brooks.html I agree with his conclusion and most of the reasoning behind it. But, I wonder that he is so reluctant to vote no. The fundamental problem is cost control, and he explains why this bill is likely to do nothing at best on this issue, and may make it worse. The uninsured are a secondary problem because the vast majority (probably about 80%) fall into one of several categories who do not deserve handouts: illegal immigrants, the voluntarily uninsured, the voluntarily poor, and those who would like insurance but who, by placing other discretionary priorities above it, have too little money remaining to pay for it.
