A few articles on health care that I'm looking at

Look at the giddiness of the Dems in announcing health care in this article on Politico. Its downright spooky how anxious they are to take over such a large segment of the society and turn it into a bureaucracy.

Then read this article at AP (via Yahoo) on how the Democrats strong armed yet another industry:

The pharmaceutical industry agreed Saturday to spend $80 billion over the next decade improving drug benefits for seniors on Medicare and defraying the cost of President Barack Obama's health care legislation, capping secretive negotiations involving key lawmakers and the White House.

What that means is that since Barack can't actually afford to give old people all of the drugs they need, he asked drug companies to offer a price break to Medicare. That price break, of course, will be passed over to consumers. It is, in effect, an invisible tax.
Here is another scary part of that article:

While none of the changes in the prescription drug program would directly lower government costs, several officials also said the industry agreed to measures that would give the Treasury more money under federal health programs. In particular, officials said drug companies would likely wind up paying pay higher rebates for certain drugs under Medicaid, the program that provides health care for the poor.

Note: the whole purpose of the government taking over health care was to make it cheaper. Remember?

This dichotomy is kinda reflected in a recent Pew poll:

Relatively few Americans believe the country as a whole is spending the right amount on health care at this point, but there is no consensus on what the problem is. Just as many Americans say we are spending too much on health care (38%) as too little (40%).

Here is another interesting tidbit for me:

People with no more than a high school education (47%) or some college (42%) are far more likely than are college graduates (31%) to favor a complete rebuilding of the health care system.

Go figure. Smarter people don't want to lose the best health care in the world, whereas dumb people want the government to control it.
Anyway, the important thing is that the government is coming for your health care. Obama wants it. Bad. And he's not going to stop until he controls it.
