Your CBO says this bill pays for itself. Oh, sorry that's right the CBO is only correct when your party is in control.

Someone close to me that works very hard for a living, but is not offered an insurance plan by her small business employer is now facing a bill of over $5000.00 for emergency services just last week, (That's just the doctor's bill).

No, no reform or public option needed, Mr. Alexander, the market will take care her. It's done a fine job so far.
