Go get'em Al

Senator Al Franken is kicking booty and taking names ...

In a hearing on health care:

One of the highlights of the hearing was when sen. Al Franken (D-Mn) questioned Hudson Institute senior fellow Diana Furchtgott-Roth about medical bankruptcies. Franken asked Furchtgott-Roth — who claimed that moving towards a European-style system of universal health care would increase bankruptcies — about how many medical bankruptcies there were in countries that have universal health care, like Switzerland and France. Furchtgott-Rott repeatedly told franken that she didn’t “have that number,” and Franken informed her that the number was actually zero.
