Think of all the unnecessary costs, multiplied across the nation over many decades, due to health care funding for the common cold in patients of all ages.

You don’t have to get used to anything, you just have to think better and vote for people like Sarah Palin who would raise the standard of thinking (through common sense) on a government-wide basis.
"People like Sarah Palin" but who are actually running, I presume.

Paul Ryan and Mitch Daniels are still the only ones to talk candidly about this, and most of the rest of the GOP are giving the facts a wide berth.
