Bring on the leeches!

On 9/23 in Senate Finance Committee debate, Chairman Max Baucus and others argued that Medicare is on a path to fiscal insolvency, perhaps as soon as 2017, and that diverting $400 billion of Medicare spending to non-Medicare uses would help ward off that disaster. That sounds just like bringing out a bucket of leeches to cure a patient afflicted with pernicious anemia. Do you subscribe to this Alice in Wonderland logic?
