Furthermore, government does NOT control costs. It increases costs. Anything that the government subsidizes winds up either costing more or being rationed.

No. The costs are out of control BECAUSE of Corporations and Private business that have been allowed to do whatever they want. Just like the Credit Card companies they have all written their own rules and coerced congress into passing them. It's out of control and so is big government, we've got to start somewhere and health care is as good a place as anywhere -- except maybe the credit card companies.
