Nick Smith said "You know, the President has even said as we look at the Medicare B provisions, he--this is--what he expects recipients to pay for their share of the premium ends up to be $7 less than what the Republican proposal is, so we have $7-a-month difference in the President's proposal and the Republican proposal. Everybody that is honest about this knows that we have got to do a better job, and I do not want to talk too long here with these good ideas, but look what the private sector has done, look what the private sector has done in terms of lowering their medical health care costs. We have actually had negative cost increases in the private sector while we have had 11 percent in the public sector." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
