lots of industries have reduced costs for consumers ......We see this in food, housing, clothing, auto, software, hardware, energy, virtually everywhere. Where we don't see it, well, pretty much the only place we don't see it is where the government intervenes greatly.

And then they tried doing the same thing to healthcare!!

If healthcare is so expensive.....make it cheaper! That will never happen as long as hospitals and doctors have no incentive to do so. And they'll never have that incentive as long as the gov't keeps subsidizing and redistributing.

With Obamacare, the Democrats showed the world that they could not pass the very first exam in the very first economics class in college. Literally within the first few weeks students are taught the theory behind why we know Obamacare's claim was a lie. Obamacare claimed it would reduce costs.....by increasing demand.....and not increasing supply. This fails ECON 101.

Healthcare was a disaster before Obama though. The government restricts supply like fucking crazy, all in the name of (faux) safety. Meanwhile their (faux) safety measures have the effect of actually decreasing safety.
