Deval Patrick missed an opportunity to nail George Will. I think many people would have
From crooksandliars

George Will, of course, is worse than useless. He talked about the grand days under Jack Kennedy, when people paid a much bigger proportion of their medical expenses

It would have been great for Patrick to have said, "Okay. And taxes for businesses and the wealthy were at what? 65-70%. You for that too George?"

1. He would.
The middle class exploded once unions won insurance benefits for workers, as did small businesses, since there was more cash to spend.

2. At that we did not have Medical Industrial Complex which has
pushed the cost of health care completly to unaffordable
levels.

In the years of Jack Kennedy, Medical Care was reasonable.
You did not have a lot pills which cost at least 10 bucks
a pill. Many people could have their prescriptions filled
out of pocket.

4. No diss
As I said, "I think most people would have."

It was not clear I admit.
I think most people would have missed the opportunity to nail George Will

I'm not upset at him. I just wish he'd thought of it.
