Supporters of socialized medicine don't require economic or logical thought as part of their argument. This does, and it makes more sense. But as usual, the only Presidential contender in the field who "gets it" on the REAL problem is Mr. Huckabee. A close second on this note is McCain actually. The real problem is that we should have a wellness system as opposed to a healthcare system. The trick is...there is only two ways to address that problem: a full-fledged Government TAKEOVER of all that is medicine, or a shift of responsibility back to the consumer. One would be a severe violation of Civil Liberties with minimal economic gains, and the other would preserve those liberties with SIGNIFICANT economic gains. The fed has a HUGE role in this...but it's via tax REBATES instead of tax HIKES. No brainer for anyone who has even a SHRED of libertarian thought.
