Also health care costs go up every year, can't blame it all on Obama. Blame the republicans for no single payer system which would've caused more competition and reduced costs (maybe not overall, but relative to what is projected)

obama said in his 2010 state of union that his plan was intended to control costs. he called it the 800 pound gorilla on the issue.
but its not just the repubs stopping single payer. dems are just as culpible. they wouldnt even bother putting single payer on the floor. they stripped the public option out in committee. maybe the same program with a public option, maybe this thread would not happen.
