Health care in Colorado

OK here is a perfect example of how the government is killing the citizens of this country with respect to health care costs. The Colorado Legislature passed a bill that basically makes it easier and actually encourages trial lawyers to bring up high-priced lawsuits against doctors and health care providers. So, instead of our benevolent government helping the citizens, its actually hurting them...again. There's a shocker!
So I guess in a year or two our governor will start campaigning that we need to "bring down the cost of health care" with more government intervention and possibly a mandate that health care providers bring down their costs "or else." Or else what? Who knows? You know I have often said that I'm not cynical enough to believe that the government especially liberals just want to control us and will do anything they have to to do it. But I am beginning to believe that is exactly true now.
The way I see it is this:
Government will do everything in its power to make health care cost rise. Then they will come in to "save the day" with some grandiose state run health care system to "ease the costs of health care."
It makes me sick. It makes me sick because people will actually believe that the reason that cost are rising is because they are being gouged by the insurance companies. The reality is that we the taxpayers are being gouged by the government.
