The government has way too much interference in our health care. It basically is socialism. 

Really? Then the healthcare system here in Finland must be communism, and it's still working a lot better. I think I heard just recently that our healthcare system is the most cost-efficient one in the world. Either that, or it's really close to the top.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Some way it has to be paid for. I agree just like everyone the United States health care system sucks. My stance is with Ron Paul. We have to remove government restrictions as much as possible. For example, why should someone have to go to school for eight years to treat common problems? That is part of the reason why it is so expensive here.
