"If Medicare were a bank, federal regulators would be closing its doors, selling its operations and sacking its managers.

When the monstrosity ultimately dies it's deserved death, the Dems can then tell their fringe freaks "See? We tried! But those knuckle dragging conservatives and those eeeeeeeeevil insurance companies did us in!"
