[QUOTE="Norske, post: 52486, member: 409"] "Obamacare" did absolutely nothing to control medical costs! As written, it wasn't supposed to. The Congress passed it without reading it because they didn't write it. The parts about Rx meds was written by PHARMA, the hospitalization parts by the hospital lobby, etc. Each lobbing group passed out their package and a pile of campaign contributions and got their votes. By-the-way, much of the 2300 pages of lobbyist-written legislation had been lying around since before "Hillarycare." A lot of it was written in the late '60s in response to Nixon's plan to regulate the medical industry. His plan was the first to operate the business privately, (TR and H. Truman wanted government healthcare) but heavily regulated. At Tricky Dick's time, healthcare amounted to 10% of the US economy. It's now over 20%. The old system only worked for the medical industry, the new system works for them even better. It should, they wrote it. [/QUOTE]
