Desertrat,

While true, I suspect the major cost increase is government subsidizing the medical costs (medicare, medicaid).

The same thing happened to the education system. As the government poured more and more money into it, the money got use up. Surprise!!

Laws and regulations stemming from government raised the overhead for doctors’ businesses in dramatic fashion. When overhead goes up, prices go up.

And anybody expected the people who caused the problem to solve the probelem? ‘Scuse me? How’s that again?

Prime Tony…but when is it otherwise? Fantastic comments, Don and Jan. My concern at present is that the Obamanation thought what they got was worth risking loss of the House and the Senate. They are in control for the next 10 months, minimum, AND THEY HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE. I expect a flurry of shoving through every crack pot Leftist idea from “amnesty” to weather.

I saw an interview on Fox News earlier this week. A young guy named Mattera who has a book he wrote called “Obama Zombies: How The Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation.”

I haven’t read it, yet. But, just by listening to Mr. Mattera, I think his book may well be worth reading. I think his book may go well beyond “buyer’s remorse.” I think all of us need a lesson in this. I don’t doubt we need healthcare reform. But, to complain that the insurance companies are the only culpable ones is like blaming the trucking companies that deliver the goods to supmermarkets for the high price of those goods IN those markets! They, like the insurance companies, are only partly to blame.

Congress p*ssed away a year arguing over healthcare reform when they could have been subpoenaing the AMA, Medical schools, doctors, nurses, nursing organizations, pharmaceutical company executive, etc. and forcing them to bring 20 years worth of healthcare cost data before congress so ALL could see just why healthcare’s inflation rate would run 50% when the rest of the country’s inflation of goods ran about 3% to 5%. Now, all of that is lost because Obammy blamed the healthcare insurance companies and let the rest escape. So, there WILL be no cost control measures, other than on the insurance companies.

What a ruse. What a fake. And, we’ll all pay for heathcare welfare.

I, like Don Bodell, am a Democrat. What surprises me the most is that the civil war hasn’t already started yet. I was in the service during the Viet Nam war and lost friends who fought for our country. Why is no one fighting now? We’ve already lost our freedom but apparently have lost our spirit too.

I think we haven’t been this close to civil war since the 1850′s. I was a young man during the 1968-75 period, when so many people were so upset over the War in Viet Nam. I think there are far more people upset, now. Especially with Obammy’s mammys in Congress, you know, the Congressional Demmicraps, who have brought about Healthcare Welfare. Now, the 85% of us who took on the responsibility to get the kinds of healthcare benefits we needed through our employers (or we pay ourselves if self-employed)will be paying for the 15% or less who don’t. Voila. Healthcare welfare. And, in case anyone thinks I’m a Republican, I’m not. And, I’m not an independent. I’m a Democrat. I’ve NEVER seen the party this far left, before. I’ve never seen the party with such disrespect for the tax paying public. I think that civil war may be coming and I think it won’t be peaceful.
