Democrats Want to Expand Government Control
For the common good.
If we went back to the obesity rates that existed in 1980, that would save the Medicare system a trillion dollars.
Said Barack Obama at today’s Democratic debate. That sounds absurd to me. But let me be fair. He prefaced that assertion with the phrase “it’s estimated.” Oh, estimated. Well, then. He wants to “emphasize how important prevention and cost savings can be.” I get it. The plan is to get the government to pay for all sorts of routine health care for everyone, and we’re supposed to think it will actually save money. But the truth is that going to the doctor more is not going to solve our fatness problem. If it did, we’d be paying now for the treatment (not that we wouldn’t like the government to reimburse us). The false hope of a solution to obesity and a promise of illusory savings is being used to soften us up for massive spending on health care. I’m estimating.

Is he reffering to some specific policy of government intervention that some candidate or lawmakers proposed, or is he just randomly ranting about things that don’t exist?

Lol when have I ever expressed an opinion on any of the current candidates? Feel free to go through your archives and check. But hey thanks for making assumptions.
