According to CNN, Americans are split when it comes to the president’s plan to increase government involvement in health care. Fifty percent are for the plan and forty-five percent are opposed. Most telling is this statement by CNN Polling Director Keating Holland: “Most people on Medicare and Medicaid also don’t think that the Obama plan will help them.” Yes that’s right, the majority of people who already benefit from government sponsored health care do not believe that more government intrusion will help. As I have expressed before, the solution to the health care problem in this country lies in free markets, not in big government. Every day, more people are waking up to the fact that the Obama administration’s answer to nearly every domestic problem is to throw money at it, money we don’t have and money that will eventually come out of the taxpayers’ pockets. Let’s just hope that the Democratic supermajority doesn’t ram this plan down our throats.
