More on the health care "public option" Trojan Horse...

The so-called "public option" is a debacle, simply a pleasant sounding means to an unpleasant government controlled end.
Proponents, including the President, claim it is intended to lower costs and keep the private sector "honest" through competition. Instead it will achieve neither. The math simply does not add up. How can you increase health care coverage to 50 million more people while simultaneously reducing costs? Without a price-control mechanism, likely rationing, costs will skyrocket.
Regarding keeping the private sector "honest," the only honesty will be in the phone calls tens of millions of people receive from their private sector insurers. "To be honest," they will tell you as they inform you they can no longer cover you or your family, "we cannot compete with the government."
One reason health care costs are increasing is simply because health care costs increase as you age. As the baby boomer generation ages, there are simply more and more older people to take care of. So costs naturally increase.
Furthermore, the high costs of a medical education are contributing to fewer people becoming doctors, especially general practice. The prohibitive costs of malpractice insurance and excessive lawsuit compensations bog down the system in a mire of bureaucratic sludge and misappropriated wealth.
If the so-called "public option" is installed, costs will not go down, they will skyrocket. And instead of just paying your health care costs as you get older, you, the tax payer, will pay for everyone else's as well. Assuming, of course that the governing body deems you worthy of receiving care on an inevitably cold hearted cost versus benefit scale.
Stopping President Obama and the Democrats from radically transforming our health care system, the best in the world, into another entitlement that rewards politically connected interest groups, strengthens the Democrat voting block, further entrenches their political machine and destroys the freedom of the people in the process, is crucial.
