I don't think any discussion on health care costs is valid without a good what if we kept the current course. Even with tort reform and interstate competition (which I support) there still are massive issues.

"You're citing a campaign quote "

wrong, wrong, wrong. The promise of $2500 decreases was a direct claim about Obamacare, which was passed long after the election. Obama made that promise both as a candidate as a sitting president.

"without a good what if we kept the current course"

Zimmy, Obama said premiums would decrease. He was spectacularly wrong.

"Even with tort reform and interstate competition (which I support) there still are massive issues."

On that we agree. And what's worse, that means we both know more about this issue than Obama. Because he claimed that he could magically decrease costs.

Zimmy, all I'm doing is holding the man accountable for what he said...
