Health reform that would break the bank

I respond to a point in Budget Director Orszag and White House Health Policy Advisor DeParle's Washington Post op-ed. America's primary fiscal problem is the long-term growth of health entitlement spending. The Senate-passed bill creates a commitment for a new health entitlement program, and takes advantage of a gimmick to claim that this commitment is paid for. Instead, this bill would guarantee a future fiscal crisis.
