Surprise: new Republican Senator wants more government-run health care

Republican Senator-elect Scott Brown disclosed his hope of implementing more government-run health care in a recent post-campaign speech. Brown said he feels that a "basic plan for everyone" is important.

Republican politicians generally do not favor limiting or reducing government. Most Republicans want to increase the size and scope of government. Mr. Brown is an excellent example.
