Here we go - this tired old song

Again I say, consider the source. Senator / Doctor Alan Bates from Ashland is testifying in favor of the smoking cessation provisions of the Senate Plan.

"If there is one thing we can ddo to lower costs in health care and to save lives, it's to get people to quit smoking. You can forget about diet or obesity or any of those other things - the number one cause of death in America is smoking."

Yadda, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah. Heard it all before.

But then he explains why me and my Republican friends are fighting so feircely against this legislation:

"We know that raising the cost of cigarettes makes young people less likely to actually start in the first place. The other thing we can do is implement plans to help people stop smoking."

Friends, that's in in a nutshell. That's why this bill matters.
