More and more people are born (population growth) and buying food every day, why aren't my costs decreasing?
show me ONE fucking thing that has DECREASED in price. Anything.

Well, to play devil's advocate, I would say almost EVERY product gets cheaper once more people buy into it. How much did a mobile phone cost when they first came out, or how about a large flat screen TV?
How much did it used to cost for the most basic phone or internet plan early on?
Like the Doc stated earlier - the more people in a pool, paying towards a common good, could reduce costs.
Unfortunately it is all in the management. Half the country does not believe a "for-profit" healthcare system really has our best interests in mind, and the other half does not believe the government would manage healthcare properly either.
Both sides are probably correct.
