Both House and Senate bills on so-called health care “reform” call for drastic cuts in Medicare spending.

“We’re going to have to reduce Medicare spending by about $400 billion over a 10-year period to get the math right,” Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said on ABC television’s “This Week” on Nov. 29. “We haven’t reduced Medicare spending by 40 cents, so that’s not going to happen.”

One has to wonder – do these people have any blinking idea what they are doing?

As this article from Bloomberg reiterates, neither the Senate nor the House version is doing a cotton pickin’ thing to address the core problem – containing health care costs. For some insane reason (who knows what?), Congress is focusing exclusively on trying to get insurance coverage for everyone while wholly failing to address the escalating cost within the system.

I would suggest contacting your Congressman, but I’ve done that myself and it got nowhere. Congressman Harry Mitchell (Scottsdale/Tempe, AZ) is an absolute puppet for Nancy Pelosi.
