Unfortunately, the White House and congressional Democrats are still insisting on their massive 2,700-page bill that includes higher premiums, $500 billion in higher taxes, and $500 billion in cuts to senior Medicare. My son, who's here this week, Tommy Sullivan, even can consider that that's not reform.
