Free Cough Drops vs. Strangling Taxation

From Thomas Sowell comes this tidbit of reason:

"Any one of us can reduce medical costs by refusing to pay them. In our own lives, we recognize the consequences. But when someone with a gift for rhetoric tells us that the government can reduce the costs without consequences, we are ready to believe in such political miracles.


"There are some ways in which the real costs of medical care can be reduced but the people who are leading the charge for a government takeover of medical care are not the least bit interested in actually reducing those costs, as distinguished from shifting the costs around or just refusing to pay them."



Now seriously think about this: would you really prefer to lower your medical costs by shifting their expense (and control over them) to the government while you pay higher taxes and make do with whatever level of health care government bureaucrats deem best for you? If so, support the "worst bill ever."
