Yesterday - one of the 'news sites' quoted an un-named REPUBLICAN Congress critter about the new Republican 'healthcare plan' -
Paraphrasing (from memory) - "If our plan doesn't bring down 'healthcare' costs - then we've been spinning our wheels".
Personal note to all Congress Critters -
AT NO TIME IN OUR LIFETIMES HAS THE GOVERNMENT DONE A DAMN THING TO BRING DOWN THE COSTS OF HEALTH CARE.
The only thing ALL your freaking meddling has done is to shift around WHO PAYS for our 'health care' - that is what 'INSURANCE' - whether government or private - does - it shifts costs.
IT DOES NOT ADDRESS, IN ANY MANNER, the ACTUAL COSTS of 'health care.'
SHeeeeesh - How stooooopid do you think we are ?
Guess that is pretty obvious - ya thinks most of us is too damned stooooopid to understand that basic truth.
