>> Do you agree with the CBO that the ACA will save money......

Without getting into what CBO actually did or didn't say, I have never placed saving money at the top of my list of important things in health care like so many have. I believe our health care costs more, in part, because it is the best and most innovative in the world. I have an extreme liberal friend whose wife is undergoing cancer treatment in clinical trials where the drugs cost 30,000 per month with an estimated 20% chance of five year survival. My friend raises hell about our health care system. But the reality is that in most places his wife would have had no chance at all because that drug would not have been available to her. That's what it costs to innovate, and that is why over half of all health care innovation over the last four or five decades has happened in the US.

I believe the system we had was far better than the one we have.

>> Of course you don't, you don't like to get into data and details with sources....it makes you uncomfortable..

I'm fine with those details. But I don't like to waste time with an idiot. If you can behave like an adult of reasonable intelligence I'm happy to treat you like one.
