Politicians & Health Care

Two sides - Naive or Corrupt.
I just read an article on the National Review Online by Ramesh Ponnuru talking about “facts” touted by politicians on the senate and house floor.
I am only going to steal one of his quotes:
Majority leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) attributed 45,000 deaths each year to lack of insurance.
Looking at the report referred to by Ponnuru, it is clear that his is a HUGE exaggeration on an epic scale. The question I have is about the knowing of these politicians. Are they being duped by the people who are hired to keep them informed or are they intentionally trying to bully America by fear mongering into a health care plan? Are they naive or corrupt? Either way, they are not fit to lead… except, God forbid, a heard of sheep.
