          Important to discuss the issues regarding cost and waste in health care. Most people agree access to healthcare is a needed benefit.

          It's the ideological differences on who pays for it and at what cost that drive such a polarized debate on policy.

          It’s NOT a healthcare bill. It’s a tax reform bill. To its supporters it lowers taxes. That’s it. The healthcare debate is a ruse.

          What part of 'we used over 40 studies' do you not understand? Oregon was cited as recent and having strongest evidence, not ONLY evidence.
