Now, it bugs me to no end to continue to hear, as I did--and I heard a friend from across the aisle say in just a ridiculous misrepresentation that the Republicans--again, they don't have any plans. They don't want any changes. That is absolutely ridiculous. In our Republican Study Committee--the more conservative of the Republican Members of Congress is generally the way it's touted. There are Republicans that aren't conservative that aren't part of the RSC. But we have just a summary of 70 bills to help reform health care, not to give more control to the insurance companies, not to give more control to government, but to help reform health care so that it's patient controlled, and it's affordable, accessible, all of these things. These are real bills. They have numbers on them.
