Which is why the bipartisan paeans to "prevention" in this summer's health care debate have me scratching my head. It's the one reform on which Henry Waxman and John Boehner can join hands. Don't get me wrong: officials are right to say our system is crazily tilted toward paying docs and hospitals for curing people only after they've gotten terribly sick. But when they jump from this to the idea that America's overdue prevention agenda will be the fix for soaring national health costs (and even help pay for expanded coverage), they're blowing smoke.Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:42:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/06/16/health.care.hearing/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/06/16/health.care.hearing/index.html#cnnSTCTextRobin Beaton found out last June she had an aggressive form of breast cancer and needed surgery -- immediately.Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:51:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/18/feehery.health/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/18/feehery.health/index.html#cnnSTCTextWe know what the president wants when it comes to health care reform.

Keep in mind, Clemens' primary goal was not to preserve or rehabilitate his baseball reputation or even to convince the legions of fans who disbelieve him -- as others have written, he may have failed miserably on those ends -- but rather to avoid perjury charges. Unless verifiable physical evidences emerges to the contrary, it seems unlikely the available evidence would lead to a conclusive finding that he committed perjury.
