The main Republican indictments against the Democratic bill were quite curious. They said it’ll bankrupt America, but the CBO has deemed it will lower costs and slash the deficit. They said it will harm the elderly, but the Association of American Retired Persons, the mighty seniors group, has endorsed it. They said it will disrupt the doctor-patient relationship, but the American Medical Association, the powerful doctors group, has endorsed it. They said it will ruin the fabric of American civilisation, but amnesia can be quite convenient, because they once said the same of Medicare, and how’d that work out?
