Doctors and health care professionals... Are they "paid bloggers"? Is everyone who offers facts that don't support your opinions a "paid blogger"?

I found a whole bunch of "paid bloggers" out there:

Study Raises Questions About Cost Savings From Preventive Care - Washington Post

Health Experts Clash Over 'Cost Savings' From Prevention Measures - AAFP

Prevention Does Not Necessarily Provide Expected Cost Savings - Medical News Today

Congressional Budget Expert Says Preventive Care Will Raise -- Not Cut -- Costs - ABC News

Health prevention often costs more than saves - MSNBC!!!!

Now... Your argument has been that government can reduce health care costs... I've yet to see even one person make an argument about how government can lower the cost of providing health care. Can you make such an argument?
