Gallup: 49% Think Personal Health Care Costs Would Go Up Under Obama Plan; Only 22% Think They Will Go Down

The 49% are right, and the 27% who think there will be no change in their personal costs are wrong -- their costs will go up too.

You cannot take 100 units of service, currently utilized by 100 people, and spread those units among 120 people without rationing away from those currently getting the service towards those currently not getting the service.

And if you're paying the same amount for lesser service, your costs per service have gone up.

And you're not going to pay the same amount, either. You're going to pay more.
For less.
