Just wondering - R's I see are saying we need real HCR to bring down costs, etc
But weren't they in power for 8 years? Did I miss their attempt to reform or help people?

1. It's bizarre, many of my conservative friends all of a sudden are arguing from the LEFT
about HCR. One of my buddies even said he may move to Canada, since their health care is "provincial" and is cheaper. Good god, these people have no sense of their own cognitive dissonance. They will turn on a damn dime!

3. It's not really bizarre. Their only standard is to oppose Democrats. Nothing else matters.
They will say and do anything because the content of what they say has no value to them except in that it opposes Democrats.

2. That's what I predict will get them back in power. Running against this insurance company giveaway.

4. I think they can do it
in the same way they brought down the economy.
