Most other advanced countries hold down prices through government regulations. We set prices in Medicare and Medicaid programs.

A single pay option is the only solution for controlling health care costs.

Health care is an example of free market capitalism NOT presenting the best price for goods\services.

Health care for profit is an oxymoron.

The idea at the heart of the reform law is that such strategies, once proved effective, could be carried out on a large scale — and eventually bring total spending under control.

I hear my counterparts screaming Repeal It when "we" take the White House and Congress back...I tell them good luck with that...we actually need more Health Care Reform in the U.S.
