Due to the dramatic affect that health care services have on all of the inhabitants of the United States, the costs for each service needs to be regulated by our government. Every other industrialized country regulates their health care costs and so should we. If we continue down our present path, healthcare costs will soar without limitation.
In the United States, we pay, at the very least, 2x as much as any other industrialized country (http://www.jhsph.edu/publichealthnews/pr... and the only way for this to change is for the government to step in and regulate this vital service.
(ex. An MRI should not cost upwards of 4000 for a single use http://www.acor.org/ped-onc/treatment/mr... But in actuality, they can charge as much as they want because it is not regulated.)

Not yet -- and maybe never. The original plan was to for the oil to pay back the cost rebuilding Iraq. Starting to look now like that will never happen.

The Iraqi government does not pay the American government to ship oil. However, American companies are involved in the development of this region and do make money shipping oil.

Why should we get any payment for the movement of Iraq oil?
My guess would be no.
