Consumers Being Patient

President Bush made the following remarks while in Cleveland, Ohio, in late January, during a forum on health technology.

“So the fundamental question facing the country is, can we have a health care system that is available and affordable without the federal government running it? I mean, it really is a philosophical challenge. There’s good well-meaning folks who believe that the best health care system is run where Washington, D.C. makes the decisions. I happen to believe the best health care system is one where the consumers, the patients, make the decisions.”

Yes, Mr. Bush, there is a philosophical difference, er, perhaps even a challenge, since you view medical patients as consumers.
