The Minority Leader is just full of crap and a liar and I just don't know here's what he wrote in a letter signed by 4 others.
"Forcing free market plans to compete with these government-run programs would create an unlevel playing field and inevitably doom true competition," the letter stated. "Ultimately, we would be left with a single government-run program controlling all of the market. This would take health care decisions out of doctors and patients and place them in the hands of another Washington bureaucracy."
McConnell’s letter was signed by Sens. Charles Grassley of Iowa, Mike Enzi of Wyoming, Judd Gregg of New Hampshire and Orrin Hatch of Utah.

I just have one question for this lame ass,(sputtering), I don't even know what to call him, for the last 30 years you the Republican party are the ones who have been saying that Government is inefficient and wasteful, if Government is so inefficient and wasteful why oh why are you so worried about a Government run health care plan?
I would think that if the Government got involved in health care it would prove how bad the Government would be at actually providing health care. The logical conclusion from this proof would be that people would flock to private health care providers and not choose the Government plan thus the Government would no longer be involved in health care.
Of course the Politico article doesn't question why the inefficient Government would create an unlevel playing field. Would destroy the free market competition. Would destroy the wonderful and supposed efficient health care system that we currently can't pay for and doesn't cover 47 million plus Americans.
It is unbelievable that these guys actually get away with this crap. Out of one side of their mouth they say Government is bad because it is wasteful and inefficient, and out of the other side they say that if the Government were to provide services to the people it is supposed to serve it would destroy the supposed efficient and wonderful free market that doesn't work and doesn't provide that same service to the people they are ripping off.
Just unbelievable.
