I have been a self-employed bookkeeper since 1980.

You ‘cap’ my rates for my services & I will not do your work, or I will bill more hours to get the results I need.

Even Vermont wasn’t this stupid.

$2500 doesn’t seem to be minor.

have you been to doc lately?
... $2500 likely won't get a pimple popped

It is combination of factors
1. Legal immigrants, 30+ million of them, have been imported under the chain migration law, in the last 25 years. About half are parents of new immigrants. They all collect social security supplement checks, Medicaid, food stamps etc. Note they paid zero taxes.
2. Huge chunk of your doctor’s bill is for malpractice insurance. Without tort reform, this will continue
3. Cancer doctor’s are super busy and drug companies are making ton of money on cancer meds (chemotherapy)
My wife has cancer diagnosed about a year ago. She was billed $515,000 during first 12 months of chemo, immunotherapy and radiation.
Thank heavens for insurance, out of pocket limit saved us from going bankrupt!

1. Check ... agree and go back to my original statement. Absolutely none of them should be getting anything. Not a dime. Nothing. Nada. Nil. Zilch. I think the $120+billion that the estimate they cost is rather low. I’m thinking, if you take into account just the payouts you mentioned, the number is over $200 billion.

2. Check

3. Check

Keep calling as many Congress critters as you can. That could help much more than preaching to the converted here on FR.
