what jumped out at me right off was his 'spalantion of why health care costs are so high..

he blames it on the "consumer" and third party paying practices.

it's not the consumer.


how many of us would/could go to a restaurant and order off a menu with no prices?

1/4 of 1%...

and the people who get to be in that 1/4 of 1% didn't get there, or stay there, by doing it.

It's because he has a simplistic mind.

He thinks he worked for what he has.

That too is simplistic.
