Healthcare "Reform"?

The House version of the healthcare bill was unveiled yesterday. At 1,990 pages it’s a testament to what government bureaucracy can do! The cost of the bill according to CBO estimates is over $1 Trillion dollars. This doesn’t even include the cost of the so-called “doctor fix” for Medicare which is estimated at $245B.

So… this bill is supposed to “reform” healthcare and make it “more affordable”? Interesting technique.  Exactly who is this going to make it more affordable for?

What’s even more interesting is that they think they can do this in the face of the epic failure of Medicare and Social Security, both of which are tragically in the red. 

As the saying goes - those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.  Hopefully the voters will hold these politicians accountable for their failure to learn...
