What is shocking to me is that you want to spend even more than that and yet leave 30 million people without health care.

Basically Republicans want to take away Medicare's guaranteed benefits and replace it with a voucher and put the insurance companies back in charge.

$8.6 trillion. Do you have any idea what the two wars we are fighting and not paying for costs over the same period of time?

The home health copayment, for instance, I think is largely ascribed to be used by old, sick, poor widows, and raising the price that they have to pay is just one more Republican effort to deny equal rights to women.
