Rip up this awful column

An op-ed by serial health care misinformer Betsy McCaughey is, indefensibly, featured in today's New York Post:

When President Obama addresses Congress and the nation tonight, he should pledge to do three things.

First, he should announce that he will discard the 1,018-page health bill drafted in the House of Representatives and replace it with a 20-page bill in plain English. Twenty pages should be sufficient. The framers of the US Constitution established an entire federal government in 18 pages.

This is absolute nonsense.
