I totally agree. Say what you will about FOX News, But at least you know where they stand.
I can't say I am for Socializing healthcare. I do agree that costs are syrocketing. But I also belive in letting an open market dictate costs. Unfourtnatley, the healthcare industry is not really part of an open market. I think if it was (just like the airline industry, stores like Target and the evil walmart) consumers would drive the cost down by choosing the most cost effective plans, perscriptions, ect. Plus, any sort of Goverment run Healthcare would just be so corrupt. all you have to do is look at any government run program now to see that. In short, I think the more power the consumer has and the less power the government have over a consumers decision is always a better way to start solving a major problem like health care.
