Can we ban smoking and sugary foods and salt? Hopefully this will help save American lives.

3. Well, that would be a republicans dream come true, wouldn't it?

5. Their dream was to not see it pass. HA!
They are going to accept it one way or the other. You don't do it on your own, we will throw you in prison.

If govt is paying the bill then it has the right to control the costs by whatever means needed.
