I would love to know why the GOP didn't care about Healthcare costs for the past 8 years.

Why are they suddenly saying they want to reduce costs?

Why didn't they reduce costs when they had power?

I think we know. They didn't want to.

Support change. Support our Dems who want a good Public Option.

1. They're crying crocodile tears about the deficit. You're right. Where were they? In power!

4. Good Health Care doesn't make people suffer like poverty & wars do.

That is why they are against it.

5. As I recall, Bush and the repubs didn't care much for what any of us had to say..

Bush had capitol he intended to spend, and spend they did, like a bunch of "drunken sailors", which they were being called.

The media told us our honeymoon with President Obama was over, (news to me) but, and now they are telling us we have no capitol to spend.

Yet they didn't care about any polls or honeymoons being over and Bush told everyone he doesn't care about the polls, yet they still spent like "drunken sailors".

If Obama can't do it, does anyone seriously believe we would ever get health care? Not in my life time anyway.

7. Cynical answer

because the health care corps were paying them off. Now that those corps are paying off Democrats instead, all this stuff is a problem.
