Today, more than 90 percent of private healthcare plans are obtained through employers. It might seem "unnatural to get health insurance any other way," Mr. Jacoby wrote. "But what's unnatural is the link between healthcare and employment. After all, we don't rely on employers for auto, homeowners or life insurance. Those policies we buy in an open market, where numerous insurers and agents compete for our business." But third-party insurance has led to "skyrocketing premiums, lack of insur-ance portability, widespread ignorance of medical prices, and overconsumption of health services. ... (Quick quiz: What does your local hospital charge for an MRI scan? To deliver a baby? To set a broken arm?)"

The McCain plan eliminates the tax deduction on health insurance, but provides a $5,000 refundable tax credit to give Americans "a strong inducement to buy their own, more affordable (and portable) insurance plan." Once consumers begin focusing on the cost of healthcare, competition will flourish, and prices of healthcare and heath insurance will fall.

Sen. Obama, on the other hand, proposes socialism, which experience has shown time and again only makes healthcare scarcer and more expensive while reducing the quality of care. By coming to America to get healthcare, Canadians every day vote with their feet and wallets against "free healthcare" in their country.

The whole idea of a ‘third-party payer’ for school funding, universal medical coverage and other other mandates are shell games.   Magicians, more accurately illusionists do clever things under cups or shells and it becomes hard to keep track of where the object is.  And politicians try the same thing with your gross income.  Take a good look at the difference between your Gross Income and your Net Income.  More than any other political party, Democrats are always for taking more taxes out of your Gross, leaving you with less take-home pay.  Couldn’t you do better than Congress with your own money?  Right now all but 9% of Americans think so.  And the Democrats have been IN CONTROL the last two years.  Coincidence?   Not hardly.

Public education funding and health insurance funding are tricky shell games too.  It is YOUR money that distant bureaucrats are grabbing and then ‘giving’ back--with monstrous strings attached.

Our government is responsible for stabilizing an official currency.  And Congress--with a 9% approval rating right now--has done a lousy job since Democrats took over two years ago. 

There is no such thing as government money.  There is only private wealth that you let government take and spend for you, by the laws our legislators create.
