Many people are priced out of the medical and insurance markets for one reason: the politicians refusal to give up power. Allowing them to seize another 16 percent of the economy won't solve our problems. Freedom will.
Patrick Henry did not say, 'Give me absolutely safety or give me death.' America is supposed to be about freedom.
