#1 I wonder if this is the same bill my Congressman is being cheered for passing? His bill, according to the AFL-CIO, was to cap insurance company charges.

How could that cost money, AFL-CIO? Color me skeptical. I e-mailed my Congreesman urging him to repeal the McCarran-Ferguson Act, which I learned about at Rantburg, as a better route to lower costs.

#2 Oncologists and cardiologists take the biggest hit if the cuts aren't rescinded. My liberal oncology and cardiology colleagues can't quite make the connection between this and what ObumbleCare is going to be -- yo guys, our payments will go down, down, down each and every year. Someone has to pay for all those boards and committees, and it's going to be us.

They don't get it yet. By the time they do it'll be too late.
