I'll just pick one piece from Porter's new article in The New England Journal of Medicine:

[T]he only way to truly contain costs in health care is to improve outcomes

Leaving aside the spin on "truly" -- a spin through which one might fly a helicopter -- Porter is, quite simply, a liar. And I won't use the word "shill" -- but feel free to think it.

The only way to truly contain costs in health care is to take the profit out of it.

That's why single payer systems, which have 3% administrative costs, versus the 30% that today's system devotes to CEO salaries, profits, and the administrative apparatus for denying people care, are the superior model and save $350 billion a year. But catch a professor from the Harvard Business School saying that!

“I was born in Oslo, Norway, the son of a Volvo factory worker and part-time ice fisherman,” a mock self-tribute begins. “My mother was a backup singer for Abba. They were good folks.” In Chicago, “I discovered I was black, and I have remained so ever since.”

After his election, the Faux-bama says, he united warring students into “a happy, cohesive folk,” while “empowering all the folks out there in America who didn’t know about me by giving a series of articulate and startlingly mature interviews to all the folks in the media.”
