Setting drug prices by government fiat rather than market forces results in huge reductions of funding for research and development of new drugs. McCain's evident aim is to reduce pharmaceutical companies' profits. But if all those profits were subtracted from the nation's health care bill, the pharmaceutical component of that bill would be reduced only from 10 percent to 8 percent -- and innovation would stop, taking a terrible toll in unnecessary suffering and premature death. When McCain explains that trade-off to voters, he will actually have engaged in straight talk.
Socialism everywhere. It surrounds us. And now it threatens to come down on our heads in an avalanche.

Frightening, isn’t it? I have a friend in the UK who waited a year and a half to have gall bladder surgery, and she was on the “urgent” list due to the severity of her symptoms. Not only that, but she said that most of her doctors were Arabs or Indians.

Folks, this is coming to us. God help us!
