When roads need built the government asks for bids and contracts the work to road constructors.

Why does government think it should form a startup company where every employee has zero expertise and zero experience just because the issue has changed? Why isn’t government asking experts that - oh, I don’t know - possibly work for INSURANCE COMPANIES for help and/or asking them for proposals?

Context, as usual, is everything. The fact that government is attempting to enact this monstrosity in a vacuum is absolute proof positive that they have no desire to compete with anything or anybody and that ‘insurance reform’ is the thin end of the wedge on the way to socialized medicine.

I’ll see his $856 billion and subtract another $10.

Why do these legislators think that attaching a different guess number to the bill and tweaking a couple of well-publicized changes will fix everything?

>What don’t they understand? Leave our healthcare alone!<

I see you, like me are still bitterly clinging to your bible and guns ... see, we just don’t know any better. Zero wants what is best for us ... we are just too stupid to see it.

He needs to HELP us ....

Now, I wish I could say what I really want, but I would be censored.

They don’t give a crap one bit about what we think or have to say. They have their own agendas-the people be damned.
