There are a couple of misleading ideas floating around this article. First, computers cost less because of advances in technology. Second, cars DON’T cost less. It is instructive to note that the cars which our government wants us to buy, the green ones, cost a whale of a lot MORE.

Third, when they say they want health care to “cost less” they do not mean lower prices, they mean caps on expenses. This is two different animals.

When they insist on “capping costs” they are really insisting on capping the care that you are allowed to procure for yourself. Why should they be allowed to do this?

I will again assert that we, as conservatives, should not be against health care rationing. After all, we are used to rationing our health care every time we walk through Walgreens and make decisions about what over-the-counter remedies we really need. The issue is not about rationing. The issue is about WHO makes the decisions!

Yep, just look at the Chevy Volt. Suggested price of around $41,000 before a $7,500 taxpayer rebate and dealers have already mentioned a possible dealer markup. Plus a reliability factor that is questionable.

That's the scary part. If it turns out Obamacare is in fact socialized medicine the pencil pushers will be making those decisions, decisions of who gets treatment and who lives or dies.
