But this first:
15 or so years ago, when high-def TVs were new to the market, you could get a pretty good set for $10,000. Certainly not as big as some sets today, but about 50 inches.
Now you can get a 65-inch set for less than $1,000. Not the highest quality, but probably better and certainly bigger and smarter than what was available in 2002.
What did government have to do with improved televisions that are a lot less expensive? Ab-so-fucking-lute-ly nothing.
You want affordable health care? Let the government take care of the 10 percent of working-age poor who can't afford it, get the government out of health care for everyone else who is of working age, and work to phase out Medicare except for major medical insurance.
Skeptical? Explain how buying rotator cuff surgery differs in principle from buying a television? The only real difference I can see is that there isn't a price list for rotator cuff procedures at your local surgeon's office.
Better yet, go to this site, check the price and compare it to any surgery or other health issue that you or your insurance paid for.
