If you are a fiscal conservative I suggest you do soe research about the issue. There is plenty of good information at the Heritage Foundation website. I can tell you that regardless of the true magnitude of the health care insurance problem in this country that turning to the government for the solution is exactly the wrong approach.

As Mark Steyn put it so well, once everyone depends on the federal government for their health care insurance we have forever changed our electoral dynamics. No more will there be true fiscal conservatism in government. It will be like Canada and the UK, which brand of socialism do you want? A socialist that beleives in a strong national defense or a socialist that doesn't?

Can you imagine you average American saying, "Yeah, I got lousy care but at least it was free!" That is wrong on so many fronts, not the least of which is that it wasn't free, someone paid for after government took their 30% off the top to "administer" it. Which means more governemnt jobs. As an aside, the US economy lost almost 600,000 jobs last month but government employment went up 66,000. And they tell us we need to tighten our belts while they gorge themselves on our hard earned money. It is absolutley disguisting.

Wake up people! You want a solution to an overstated propblem so badly that you are willing to make a pact with the devil.
