Heard on CBS radio today: Op ed (unusual) piece: "Let each state choose btwn Ryancare and Obamacare.

They really don't do opinion pieces, but it started with the premise that we don't know who to believe about the new healthcare bill. So, let's just allow any state that wants to to continue with OBamacare, and let the others use ryancare.

I doubt that will actually financially work, but then, Ryancare doesn't work by the numbers in the least....


I thought it was really unusual that CBS radio aired an opinion piece during the pm drive at all.

Tear up the government, make it not work for people, and then argue that they're the best ones to fix it, and once in office make things worse. Bonus points if they can stir up resentment in the process.

Since each party makes their own unsubstantiated claims for or against each plan.
