I find it most interesting that the Pizza Business is leading the charge against centralized heath care, AGAIN>

Get in your wayback machine and return to the early 1990s when Hilary and Bill Clinton were pushing HilaryCare. There was a public conversation between Hilary and a Pizza businessman. When she was told that her health care proposal would bankrupt the man's business she supposedly responded all he, the businessman, had to do was raise his prices to cover his costs. The look on her face when she was told that people wouldn't buy the higher priced pizzas was priceless.

I will give her some credit though, she at least knew who was going to pay all the increased costs caused by HilaryCare. Too bad she didn't also know that every item and service has a price point beyond which no consumer will pay.

I believe you are wrong in your recollection. It was a pizza man who publicly confronted, not Hilary, but Bill Clinton in 1994 about the adverse cost of HilaryCare to his business. Bill Clinton disagreed and claimed the pizza man would only have to raise his pizza prices by 2% to cover the cost of the health care coverage. The pizza man again said he was wrong and sent him the numbers later to prove it.

That pizza man was Herman Cain, who was celebrated in conservative circles as having contributed to the defeat of the bill.
