    I really can't think of a service that's come down in price other than dialup internet. But I do know that to reduce costs, you reduce overhead. And in the last 10 years, hospital/medical overhead has gone way up. The government isn't proposing to help cut the overhead, they aren't offering a solution to that. That IS the problem, they aren't trying to fix it. And you're going to tell me that the directors of hospitals are going reduce the charges to the gov for the middle class patients? You know they aren't, if anything when the gov gets involved, the prices go up up up. So the cost for the health care goes up even more, but the charge to us is hidden in cigarettes, property tax, sales tax, income tax...we're all going to pay for it - inflated health care coverage. I don't think we should.

    Tell me that my argument doesn't make sense, I mean I really can't see how it doesn't. I want kids to be covered and safe too!! Trust me, it's important to give our children the education and health care that they deserve. The more that the gov meddles in this stuff, the less likely we're going to be able to do it on our own in the future. Talk about prices never going down? How about our ability to provide for our families going down.
