We fortunantely have good paying jobs in healthcare and have a fairly large discretionary income.

I have recently read (cant remember where) that the number of health care lobbyists is at astounding levels.

The same holds true for having to provided healthcare to employees.

We really have not solved the problem at all and have in fact made it worse.The government-controlled financial institutions that mess up the mortgage market are still there, so the potential for irresponsible lending in the future is still intact.Similarly, as I have mentioned before, we have transferred debt from individuals to the collective and not solved that problem either.We spend about 17% of our income on health care.

And when the governing classes want more money, they just demand it from those they govern.But we'll soon have them in charge of health care!

Oil, borrowing from China, offering free healthcare to all, etc, etc, etc.

Ironically, the beginnings of this can be seen in the Universal Healthcare Program currently being proposed, which would cut $500 BILLION of Medicare entitlement spending, albeit to create another entitlement.

All the new social programs including health care (Be your opinion of it what it might be) will manifest itself in money pumped in.

Bennett had voted for the cap and trade and also was not strong against health care.

No welfare, no foodstamps, no health care, or other government assistance programs.
