The problem with many Dems is they spend their whole lives on welfare and they have no interest in working.
How come Obama doesn't simply address the cost of healthcare? The cost is the real issue. The Obama supporters who don't work don't want lower costs. They want it for free.
PS. How is taxing my cadillac plan going to lower my costs?

Don't just blame the Democrats for not fixing the cost issue. That is a problem that both the Republicans and Democrats can share completely. Neither have given any hint of tackling that issue. Neither will take on the insurance companies. If you really want to take on cost, you actually do have to ration. You can't let people with no medical education come in and demand that they get a CT just because they want one and actually get it. You have to actually look at the cost/benefit analysis and decide should we really be dialyzing the alzheimer patient who hasn't spoken in 5 years and doesn't recognize anyone in her family at a cost of $999 a week. (Yes, I actually took care of this patient.) No one wants to look at these issues because they are difficult issues that don't make for pretty sound bites and don't get votes come election time. And you can't leave it at "it should be the physicians decision" because MANY physicians will order anything their patient asks for or anything they think will keep them from getting sued by their patient, neither of which decreases the cost of medicine. In the end, no one REALLY wants to decrease the cost of medicine, they REALLY want everything done without question without really having to pay for it.
