bush's medicare deceit
the san francisco chronicle published today an editorial describing how, after first covering up and then misrepresenting the facts about the new medicare prescription drug benefit, the bush administration is now shamelessly working to further mislead the public by staging phony "news reports" about how well the law will work.medicare's chief actuary, robert s foster, by law charged with providing nonpartisan counsel to lawmakers, was actually silenced by the white house to prevent congress from getting the true figures. threatened with "severe'' personal consequences, he was instead ordered to withhold the information, even if congress asked for it.
how can half of this country still dare consider voting for bush and his administration? shame on you!
