Not surprisingly, you can't rely on Mark Fuhrman for truth about health care

SUMMARY: On Fox News' Hannity, former Los Angeles police officer and Fox News contributor Mark Fuhrman pushed the myth that the government can't run health care programs, claiming that "the VA [Veterans Administration] and Medicare" are "total government failures" and citing Walter Reed hospital as an example of the VA's supposed failure. In fact, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) system has won praise, Medicare is an extremely popular program and its costs have risen more slowly than private insurance, and Walter Reed is not run by the VA.
