I was at a "healthcare" public forum many years ago before Dirigo was passed into law. I overheard a couple of RAT-reps talking and laughing about how hospitals and doctors had more money than God, and they didn't mind screwing them at all.
It never ceases to amaze me. The Democrats do believe they can screw the public, businesses, doctors and others, and there will be no repercussions. They figure the rich or the masses will be more than happy to pay whatever the Democrats believe they can get away with taking.
Sadly, too often that turns out to be true, until they start taking so much that people rebel. There’s way to much of this screw the rich thinking, as well as someone else should pay for our problems.
Bring up the failing Social Security system or the bankruptcy of Medicare/Medicaid and Democrats just look at you like you’re crazy. To them, these are non issues since they believe they can tax as much as they want to pay for any government program.
