Fight the Medical Reform tooth and nail.
We don’t need more bureaucracy.
Concentrate on reforming the tort system, take back regulation of insurance from the states and the alike. Don’t create a new problem, clean up the ones we know. Also, limit bill size to 100 pages, maximum, no riders, do one thing at a time.
