This article is an opinion piece in a very conservative
magazine's website. It is from May of last year. In it, the author is severely

program is needed to reduce these costs.

author thinks that America's debt is exactly why the health care program is a bad idea.

like and he thinks it is something that America cannot
afford.

spend.
