It’s not government. It’s the GOP. Make them own their positions.

I'm still waiting for my "affordable" health insurance. Government can't even make Epi-pens cheaper.

The last time government put price controls on things that I can remember was for gasoline in the 70’s. Still remember the constant shortages and lines to get them. Price controls don’t work. Ask Russia!

But if they did that, how would they continue to not give a shit? See what I’m sayin’?

Government should have nothing to do with the medical business except the VA beside subsidizing the medical industry stops competition and reduces productivity which raises the price. Example formula, oil industry
