Obama Offers Honest Analogy

Obama has quit comparing the proposed health care options to the Unite States Postal Office, the USPO is on track to lose $7 Billion this year. The USPO is so bad that Government accountability office put the postal service on its high risk list because of its “increasingly shaky financial footing.” His new analogy is to compare the proposed health care option to state college and universities.

I think that is probably accurate. State college and universities costs have grown faster than private colleges for the past 3 decades. Don't believe me just check out the College Board's annual tuition survey. In fact the rising rates of state college and universities has been rocketing for years and their cost increases have outpaced even the skyrocketing increases in the cost of healthcare.

I think in this comparison Obama is being honest about what will happen when/if the proposed democrat plans for health care are enacted. Even higher costs with worse service.

The reasons both higher education and health care costs are both getting out of hand are the same; inflated demand and over reliance on third party payers and subsidies.

These situations are the result of big business who have lots of money, getting in bed with big government who make the laws, to hinder true free enterprise and protect big business and big government by limiting free markets using laws and government to limit competition. How else do you explain that big business get a tax breaks for offering employees health insurance, and individuals and small businesses don't? It's big business/government in bed together to limit competition.

Where true free markets exist, costs go down and quality goes up; look at Lasik and plastic surgery, or computers. Where government/big corporations control and hinder free markets costs go up and quality go down; look at education and health care, and banking.
