what you keep ignoring
Is the crippling inflation of health care costs under the current system. It isn't sustainable! Costs have to be reigned in. The GOP is jumping up and down and waving their arms about the $1T it will cost over ten years to fix the system. They conveniently don't mention that the health care costs over that same period RIGHT NOW are expected to be about $34T!!!! The $1T to fix the system amounts to 3% of what we are already expecting to spend. Yeah sometimes you have to spend a dime to save a buck in the long run.
