Today is one of those special days, and for many of us, you think of it as Valentine's Day, but for Arizona, this is our 99th birthday.

Please, how do I get my brothers and sisters on the left and those on the right to understand we have turned the whole discussion of healthcare into financial engineering? Many of us know ACA as ObamaCare. It is a financing bill. It has…
