The government can't be trusted

As I read the headline in Sunday's paper, "Audit: Medicare paid $47 billion in suspect claims," my first thought was "And I want the government running my health care?"

Wake-up people.

How can I trust our government with my hard-earned money to manage a health care plan, when a $47 billion error was made in a $440 billion plan.

Can you imagine how much that figure would be under a new health care plan with a $1.2 trillion budget?
