Health Care, Education, Housing, Energy have all gone up because the government keeps putting its face were it don't belong.

Starve the institutions to drive down the price.

The Government is helping prices to stay up.

Their is no reason for the Health Care industry to lower the prices because the government will always pay the bill. It doesnt matter how high it gets. They know it.

I am so tired of everything getting handed to immigrants for free. Why do immigrants get medicaid when they have not put any money into our government? I work all night long supporting my family and still have to pay enormous medical bills while the people having babies on medicaid are getting everyting for free. I am the one being punished for having a good paying job. I understand there are people out there that are suffering hard financial times but the government needs to look at the medicaid system. The government must put limitations on how long people can be on Medicaid and how many children Medicaid would cover. People are abusing the medicaid system by having multiple children they cannot afford therefore the government is having to subside and people on medicaid can just go to the emergency room at any time and get everything paid for while we have to pay deductibles and co-pays. When are we going to stop paying for immigrants and start paying attention to the hard working Americans that are trying to make a good living but are having a very difficult time with the enormous healthcare costs.

I sincerely am terrified to take my young ones to the pediatrician. The waiting room is always packed with all kinds of sick children, and I'm afraid that they will come out sicker than they were. Since we live on the border, sometimes it's easier and cheaper just to go accross to Mexico to get treated.

They are taking away a physician's right to prescribe by denying prescriptions/medications that they, the health care industry, do not get "incentives" from. It's too bad the patients didn't receive some of these incentives; our rates rise, our benefits are reduced and we can't be prescribed medicine unless it is on their "approved" list. It also bugs me that medicare has a lifetime limit and once you exceed that limit you are no longer covered.
