KHN column - Empty promises

NewsGuard 100/100 Score
In his latest Kaiser Health News column, John Goodman writes: "Let us suppose that Congress did something really silly. Say it passed a law promising everyone a free annual trip to visit the moon. Surely even the densest reporter would have the presence of mind to ask, 'How are you going to get 300 million people to the moon and back?' Yet Congress did something almost that silly last spring. It promised almost everyone in the country access to a whole slew of preventive services with no copay or deductible" (9/27). Read the entire column.
