decreased they have increased exponentially, premiums, out of pockets maximums, we love the 2K per year increase in our pocket maximums this year along with premium increase

Health Care was the number one topic before Obama and the Dems took control, he talked about a decrease in premiums of 2K, WTF happened, good talk, empty promises? We are going on our 8th year of paying the annual out of pocket maximum. It becomes apparent when you hope for a hospital for the first 3K deductible instead of a drug that costs over 3K to be the first line, you cannot pick up the prescription unless you have a CC with that limit.

Did our costs decrease, hell no, the opposite has happened, are the Dems so constantly powerless and deemed blameless for all that goes wrong?

Is there no looking back? I am more than willing to look back and blame Bush for the Iraq invasion that destabilized the ME,

Well that is a damn cozy world to live in, blame them, cast a stone.

We need to as much as possible to try and look at our house, not just cast blame.

HC needs a major over haul and not just a smoothing over where specialist docs are over 100 miles away.

Some HC system if you believe in fairy tales. Our system plainly sucks and the Dems took the idea of a national HC off the table with all the twists and turns.

Blame them, but do not forget to look in the mirror.
