The State of Hawaii killed plans for a privately funded-hospital to go up on Maui because they decided the public hospital couldn't compete with it. In other words people are receiving inadequate health care because the big-government politicians admit the government can't do as well as private business.

On the island of Maui, there is only one acute-care hospital, the state-run Maui Memorial Medical Center. For years, residents of Maui have complained that the hospital does not meet their needs — too few beds, not enough specialists, and long waits in the emergency room. State bureaucrats finally cleared the way earlier this year for a small private hospital to be built, but only after scuttling plans to build a larger, more accommodating private hospital. A larger hospital, they said, would have an adverse impact on “the existing health-care system.” In other words, it would compete too effectively with what is now a state-run monopoly.

The F-22 contract was between NG and Boeing, but now Northrop gets all the funding. See here.

This article mentions that a 65 year old was dropped by his doctor because the government doesn't pay enough. This is the path of what Obama calls 'keeping the costs down'.
