Charles Krauthammer is eerily incisive in his column today -- a column I hope the President and his party's leaders are not reading. In short, a case is made for how ObamaCare 2.0 can be sold to America, with little in the way of immediate cost growth. For those wondering how universal coverage paves the way to rationing, this is the piece to read. Krauthammer unpacks five steps: (1) Forget the public option.
