Kennedy Hearing
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2025 11:38 am
Have heard almost all of the Kennedy Hearing today.
He's done far better than I expected he would.
My only comments right now are to comment on two Democrat senators.
Senator Whitehouse of Rhode Island (where I lived the first 22.5 years of my life). All he did was cry baby about this and that about how unfair CMS was. Seemed quite tangential to eliciting information for a Cabinet Secretary.
Senator Sanders of Vermont (who I agree with almost nothing). You KNEW he was going to be 100% focused on health care. Kennedy gave him a good response about why should we be paying for someone who chose to smoke for 20 years. All I ever hear about is the need for health care. Never hear about individuals taking care of their own lives so as to not need all this health care.
