Democrats, on the other hand, have responded with the same old formula of more taxes, mandates and spending. The result will be a government-run monstrosity that increases costs, reduces quality and forces as many as 114 million Americans off their current plans, according to one independent analysis. The facts are disturbing enough and are downright scary when you think about what they actually mean for American families. Besides forcing Americans to lose the health insurance they have and like, what does a government-run plan really mean?

The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell."
