Dr. B has a gift for wrapping up complex issues in an understandable, concise bite. This one explains why the US's present system drives costs higher by distorting the supply/demand relationship via third party payment.
This one, by John Stossel, explains the innovative system that the British and Canadian government run systems use to hold down their health care costs (although the Canadian system is still very expensive, though it is 'free at the point of sale') - they offer less care.
Then there's this one, pointing out that we only have to speculate a little bit on what the impact of a cap and trade bill would be, since California has already OPTESTed this philosophy: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/California_-here-we-come_-7906062-49536842.html
Cali has outsourced their energy production, employment and overall productivity - they have less money, therefore they spend less per/capita on energy. Great idea.

Finally, notice the pressure within EPA to make sure there are no voices of dissent. If this guy's under this much pressure not to say "hey guys, I don't think we should trust the IPCC report" imagine what the pressure would be on a guy who thinks "this is all a load of hoaxy huey"?
