Graph of the Day for August 5, 2010

"For Americans, as well as Congressional Democrats who didn't bother to read the bill, this first look at the final health care law confirms what many fear, that reform morphed into a monstrosity of new bureaucracies, mandates, taxes and rationing that will drive up health care costs, hurt seniors and force our most intimate health care choices into the hands of Washington bureaucrats.  If this is what passes for health care reform in America, then God help us all."  Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX).
