Of course, I still think we will ultimately adopt a single-payer model. Not because Obamacare helped usher us towards it because it's so great, but because single-payer > Obamacare.

God, you're dense. The only chance the GOP has to defeat Obamacare is letting it get implemented. Do you really think Clueless Cruz has a chance on his Cruzade?

I noticed that the first two you mentioned--Homeland Security and the PATRIOT Act--were Conk initiatives. Never heard from the TEA Party (that according to BDK existed while Bush was in office and opposed Bush) when they were being pushed through, or the Rx Drug Benefit legislation. Your Conk heroes are just as much to blame for the shit our country is experiencing as the Donks.

Cruz was just speaking before congress and made this gem of a statement: "This is a bipartisan issue...on BOTH sides of the aisle!"

The GOP has truly turned into the party of NO. Talk about poorly choosing your battles. Once again the military servicemen and women will suffer from this political infighting. One thing you never hear in Washington is answers, only bland statements and deflectionary retorts.

Re: Ted Cruz and Mike Lee: Charge of the Light Brigade , Par
I watched the GOP 2012 debates & when pretty much most, if not all of the candidates were asked about turning the economy around they almost universally talked of decreasing regulation & living in a market economy to spur competitiveness. Unfortunately, when it comes to health care these things couldn't be further from reality.
There is a surgical center on Oklahoma that has been all over the news for the past year because they don't take Medicare, or any government $$ and they list all their prices per procedure just like you'd see at a fast food restaurant. Ask a major hospital anywhere in the country to do that & watch them stutter & stammer around and give you 25 reasons why they can't. If everyone did that what you'd see is prices drop significantly at many places that up-charge you ridicuously. Who makes $$ in this current system? Hospitals, surgery centers and insurance carriers. Who loses? Us.
