I am very scared that National Health Care is coming...it's creeping under the tent. With the CHIP eligibility escalations... Politically we just can't say no to kids, even if their parents sneak in with them. Just like we can't say "whoa" to the absurdly rising costs of college educations; we just throw more federal dollars into loan programs, instead of making colleges and universities compete on cost-effectiveness.

Unfortunately, we are obligated to be rational about this matter---and not rely on pure emotion. National health care is doomed to fail. The concept conveniently ignores the principle of moral hazard. Human beings are innately selfish and will abuse anything perceived as "free." “…but not because of his ideas (I’m actually sympathetic to national health care)”

Not a very pc statement, so I totally approve. I don't have an answer because just when I think it's one of them, something extremely irritating by the other comes to mind. “I’m not sure who is more insufferable, him or his wife?”
