Michael Gerson wants you to know

"There's no health care crisis!" Now, Iraq and Saddam's non-existent stockpile of chemical and biological weapons? NOW THAT WAS A CRISIS.

Meanwhile, in liberal-tainted reality:

Nearly 45,000 people die in the United States each year -- one every 12 minutes -- in large part because they lack health insurance and can not get good care, Harvard Medical School researchers found in an analysis released on Thursday.

In parlance Michael Gerson will willfully misunderstand, that's fifteen "9/11s" annually. (Earlier versions of this post fucked up the math, I blame, uh, well someone else).
