  - I listened to a Freedom Caucuser interview. He said "lower premiums" was a "conservative position" and was one of their goals. - psilotum Mar 24, 11:22 1
    - the thing i don't see mentioned very much is all this 'lower premium' talk just means much high deductibles. -- nm - Andie Mar 24, 11:24
