“I thought he would have learned (the rules) by now!” They know exactly what the rules are and use them to their advantage. Sen. Baucus was doing that to minimize any potential fallout from Sen. McCain. Way to go, John!
Yeah. John McCain, the guy who’s had “socialized, government health care” every day of his life, EXCEPT the 5 1/2 years he spent as a captive in North Vietnam, takes a principled stand against letting the American people have what the citizens of every other civilized country in the world have. But you guys don’t have to worry, the insurance industry has bought enough folks on both sides of the aisle to insure that we won’t actually fix our health care mess.
