Which goes to prove my point that simply adding another layer of red tape onto the 10 layers that already exist won't help fix the two distinct problems the US has.
Cost, and access.
If Medicare can cost 100x more than it was originally estimated to have cost, and it was covering when it started up less than half the people Obamacare is supposed to cost, how much do you think Obamacare will cost in the end if they don't actually reform the 'private' industry to try and control the costs?
How much money could be saved by tort reform and allowing insurance companies to compete nation wide?
Two simple reforms that nobody seems to even care about.
