Health Care + Inflation =?

[steve y]

There is every indication that inflation is in our very near future. Does passing healthcare put inflation into overdrive? Does the fed meddeling in everything to forstall inflation make it come sooner? http://moneynews.com/MerkAnalysis/inflation/2009/06/25/id/331131 Steve

You can't get blood out of a rock, and in the not too distant future that is where most may be economically. The drunken sailors in D.C. are on a spending spree to beat all past spending sprees.

I hope you can afford the seed.  Or have enough,  already to get things started. do you have enough guns and ammo to protect and Keep it when harvest comes? 
God help us and be with us, in these messed up times!

Just an old man's 2 cents worth: Inflation is a certain thing, no doubt in my mind. However, it will be an inflationary depression with rising prices. We see today prices still rising while unemployment climbs.
We are printing money at record rates, TV adds still are pushing over priced mortgages, and encouraging debt. Health Care options will only add to the problem. Even China is dumping US Treasuries in retailiation to US's debt structure and for imposing trade sanctions. Great job there Hillary.
Health Care costs have to increase. More people using the system, more demand = higher costs.
Higher costs = higher insurance premiums, and (surprise) higher taxes. Print more money = inflation.
Steve, you are right to be concerned.

 Health Care + Inflation = One helluva dim future.

 I am saddened for my children who are just getting started in adult life. Theirs will be a tough go in the near future for sure. But anything that does not kill em will make em stronger! and self sufficient.
