I wonder if the republicans are going to bring up fraud or tort reform?
Do I need to add this? :sarcasm:

Why do I get the sense that certain talking points have been

1. I think it's been brought up 3 times.

Coburn (?) spent 80% of his time on it.

4. I left Coburn when he started talking about the school lunch program ......

BTW 31 cents of every dollar goes to overhead in the private for profit health
care systems but in the V.A. and medicare systems it is around 3 cents per dollar
spent.
