Oklahoma's Tom Coburn, one of two physicians currently serving in the U.S. Senate, tells Newsmax.TV that Sen. Arlen Specter's defection to the Democrats, just to be re-elected, is precisely what's wrong with our political system and the reason he has term-limited himself.  He also explains why government-run health care as being pushed by Obama and the Democrats is not only prohibitively costly and ineffective, but results in the rationing of medical care to the elderly.  Sen. Coburn also explains why he voted against Kathleen Sibelius's nomination to be Health and Human Services Secretary.
