        Guess what?  Everything in life is rationed by income.
        I'd like to drive a Ferrari.  Can't, don't have the income.  I'd 
like to live in a 50-room mansion in the Hamptons.  Can't, don't have the 
income.  I'd like to wear a $10,000 Armani suit.  Can't, don't have the 
income.  I'd like to eat filet mignon, caviar and French truffles 
everyday.  Can't, don't have the income.
        Do I whine and demand that my fellow citizens provide all this for 
me?  No.  I drive a Golf, rent a place, wear Dockers and eat cheap steak.
        Why should a service like heath care be any different?
        Want to cut health care costs?  Get the government out of it.  Our 
state, like every other, requires every heath care policy to cover 50-60 
different procedures.  Want to sell me a cheap policy that only covers 
catastrophic care?  Can't - it's illegal.  All that regulation increases 
the cost of the policy.  Cut regulations, let companies sell policies in 
any state, kill the lawsuits with tort reform.  What do you know, that's 
the GOP alternative plan: http://www.gop.gov/solutions/healthcare
        Private business is dying to sell me the health care I need at a 
price point I can afford, if only the power of the free market is 
unleashed.  Just as they are dying to sell me the cars, clothing, food and 
everything else I need at a price point I can afford.
        Viva Capitalism!  Viva Freedom!  Viva Individualism!  Screw the 
Soviet Socialist "Progressives" that took over the Democrat Party!
