Mike Lee: ‘Simply Not True’ the Federal Gov’t Is Going to Bring Down Health Care Costs

RUSH EXCERPT:

LEE: "Insofar as he’s talking about a federal right. You know, rights are things the government can’t do to you. Rights are not something that the government must do for you or provide for you. And insofar as he’s suggesting that the federal government is the key, an increased federal presence is somehow going to bring down the cost of health care, that’s simply not true. And in fact, that’s refuted abundantly by the last seven years, by what’s happened since Obamacare was passed, where this bill was passed, and we brought the federal government into it, with the promise that this would somehow make healthcare more affordable. It has had quite the opposite effect."
