Of course only the person can answer for themselves. I only ask to raise the question. It is by asking questions that we are often forced to think things through.
If you read my last post, I better explained, and I am not condemning someone from being involved in politics.
RAdam is right Robert.
We don't need more government to solve our health care problems, we need less government.
The reason the health care industry is getting more expensive is because of all the regulations that the government puts on them.
They don't make an unreasonable percentage of profit compared to other businesses, but in order to afford to stay in business they have to charge what the market demands.
Why do you suppose the market demands higher costs?
Options:
1.
The Insurance companies are money hungry beasts who want to take advantage of people (may be true for some, but at least we have the choice to leave that company and go with another one, which will not be the case when the government...a hunger beast in its own right...is the only health care choice.)
2.
The government has regulated the Insurance companies so they cannot compete across state lines thus lessoning competition which drives down costs.
3.
The government refuses to pass tort reform allowing lawyers to sue doctors for astronomical fees which are paid by Insurance Companies... in return they must raise premiums so that they don't go out of business.
4.
The government taxes Insurance companies because some in Congress believe it is evil for a company to make profits.
Now, you tell me which of these might actually be causing Health Care costs to go out of control.
I made no argument, nor did I comment on the merits or lack thereof, of this tactic. It is, however, in accordance with House rules, and is used by both parties. Learn to read what is written rather than what you hope someone is saying.
When someone dared to criticize the tactic used by Dems here, you fired back that Republicans had done the same thing. Why say that, unless to defend the current majority?
About it being House rules used by both parties, that doesn't make it right, which was the point of my post. The point of your post was to defend and deflect. You justified what they did and then said, "no I didn't." If it is not your intention to comment on the subject, don't comment on it.
It's just partisan politics as usual. The talking heads do the same things. We can't be critical of something one party does because the other party did the same thing. Hello, both can be wrong.
For the record, I'm neither Democrat nor Republican. I think both parties are full of unethical, greedy, immoral scumbags who are bleeding this country dry.
