GOP: Bush would veto Medicare reforms

Why on earth would he veto this? Why, because having a government run insurance company act like a private insurance company and negotiate the best deal for their "customers" somehow constitutes "government interference in the marketplace". I thought Republicans wanted to run the government liek a business, but in truth they only seem to want to run it for the benefot of certain businesses. And that's a bird of an entirely different color...

AP - President Bush will veto legislation requiring the government to negotiate with drug companies for lower prices under Medicare, Republican officials said Thursday.
