It starts with puncturing a few conservative shibboleths. Sorry guys.
It is true that we need food and clothing and for most of us we’re on our own, so why not for health care? Well, in real dollar terms food and clothing in the U.S. are both cheaper now than ever before.

Hillary Clinton seems increasingly out of step with the Obama administration. After her little hiatus to nurse a broken elbow, her return to the national spotlight has been lack-luster at best, becoming a non-factor on international issues. That could be a problem for our Secretary of State.
BHO told us that claiming the Public Option Plan would eventually phase out the private industry was an illegitimate concern. Except…he admitted himself that it would do just that! To adapt a phrase from the left, “Obama lied, people died!”
In addition to breaking other major campaign promises within his first year in office (At least 5 days of public comment before signing bills, decreasing the influence of K Street on American politics but hiring lobbyists galore, negotiate health care reform in public sessions televised on C-SPAN), here’s another straight lie. Remember his campaign promises about taxes? Get ready for tax hikes on the middle class.
Some one tell me again why it’s a good idea to have bureaucrats like this making our health care decisions for us? This is just like what the Dem’s plan would do for us.
