But in the end it should come down to real Americans paying less due to real competition. In PA we’re paying more with little competition and politicians have been handed money from the industry. Google it.

Today corporate America has undue control over politicians instead of us customers having control over corporate America.

That is the essence of the free market that many of us support, but is instead squelched by those who control the politicians. If you think not, ask only why manufacturers were given the right by the SCOTUS to set minimal retail prices.

Try to buy Titleist golf balls at a discount. Can’t do it. Manufacturer sets the price. Our “free market” is corrupted by big business and politicians on the take. .

Until the government forces you to buy titlist, you got nothing to complain about.

If you don't like the set price, don't buy it.

Now health care, that's a whole other thing. Before O'Dumbo started making threaths of gumming takeover, I could afford health insurance. Now, in anticipation of his ineptitude, it doubled in price I can no longer afford it. But it's STILL my choice.
