You just haven't received the bill yet...for example, did you know 
you will soon get to pay a 3.8% tax on the selling price of your 
home, with that tax going to heqlth care?????  Now, I ask you, what

they are just hiding the real cost...there ain't no free lunch - they 
may be putting them out on consignment for now, but sooner or later.....
