I'm listening to Tommy Thompson, Former HHS Chief -- on Health Care Reform. . . .

He truly is a dynamo -- he reminds us that 23 cents of every federal bugdet dollar is spent through his former agency -- HHS. . . .

FDA regulates 25% of the US GDP. . . .

He opines that Medicare will collapse within four years, if the coming Adminstration does nothing about this crisis.

I'll likely have more from this event, tonight.
