"in assisting with" - don't forget that part of the sentence. Governemnt doesn't need to "create" the drug plan - it should limit its role and provide incentives to the market place to establish an affordable drug system. The same can be said for housing in this country. Government allows mortgage interest deductions so people who finance the purchase of a house will receive government assistance in the form of reduced income taxes to help pay the mortgage. Government didn't "create" the loan, but it did assist in that transaction nonetheless. While I am here, should government also repeal the home mortgage interest deduction? After all, renters are not permitted to deuct any part of their rent for personal living. Why does government subsidize one and not the other?
