[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 571451, member: 944"] I respect everything you just said. I honestly do. I am also quite frustrated and agree with you that the Republicans have looked like keystone cops when it comes to reforming our medical system. I also agree with you (and Shapiro) that we have a horse designed by committee right now....and it sure looks like a camel to me. My YUGE concern is that many of the Democratic plans have a risk of destroying the underlying quality of health care by de-incentivizing doctors and medical professionals. Although I still fear the costs as a primary concern as well. I would much rather be VERY cautious and careful and incremental right now with changes to our medical system, and (as I have made clear) move to remove the barnacles the government has attached to the system over the decades.... Here is a factual statement about how entitlements have done to our total federal expenditures ...from the [I]WSJ Meantime, look at “payments for individuals,” which encompass such income transfers as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and food stamps, among other things. This category was 47.7% of outlays in 1989 and has steadily climbed to reach an estimated 69.2% in 2019......Even with Mr. Trump’s modest increases, defense barely rises as a share of federal outlays. In 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell, defense was 26.5% of outlays. In 2019 it will be 15.6%.[/I] [/QUOTE]
