The maw of Big Government

A new CNN poll finds that more than 80% of Americans are satisfied with the quality of their health care.

And even after all the media-hyped whining about capitalism, costs and an expectation that the government should make everything “free,” the poll still found 52% satisfied with the cost of health care.

But that won’t stop President Barack Obama, his fellow socialists on Capitol Hill, and their allies in the “mainstream” media from fanning the flames for socialized health care.

Massive government regulation in the health care industry has brought on increases in health care costs in order to comply with these regulations.

The government is already responsible for 50% or more of the health care spending in the United States through programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, SCHIP and more. The federal government is notoriously lenient when it comes to paying for expenditures, so costs of treatments get inflated, and many times tests and treatments are prescribed simply because the health care industry knows the government will cough up the taxpayer’s money to cover it.
