Can you believe this discourse between Rep. Tom Price MD and the chair of his Congressional Committee?

Talk about serious enemy making. Rep. Price is either the most courageous or most foolish person in Congress. He does, however state his position without doubt and, as a Doctor one would have to give his view point some credibility. Makes you wonder and it makes me concerned about why the hurry, who benefits from moving fast? What key elements get overlooked and what unintended consequences will there be?
This morning on Meet the Press there was a great segment with the Mayor of NYC (Mike Bloomberg (R)) and the Mayor of Newark, NJ (Cory Booker (D)) about several issues including Health Care Reform. They both stated clearly that cost control requires TORT reform, which is not in the current bill. Without this there is no way to provide Health Care and reduce costs. It is a key element in the formula. It would be like trying to bake a cake w/o flour.
It was incredible to sit and listen to two articulate, intelligent and thoughtful people with incredibly difficult jobs explain the issues. Even more impressive, they did it from the opposite side of the aisle, one Democrat, one Republican, one Black, one White most likely of different Religious backgrounds and never did they point any fingers nor deride any person while making the point. More over the points were understandable and even embraceable by most of us.
Can we elect these two to Congress??? Maybe they could get something done that we would all benefit from.
