    No need to read your cite any further than

    Countries with longest life expectancy, 2015

    Life expectancy is not a measure of the cost or efficacy of the health care system.

    I don't know that voters want to go back to any "failed policies," whether they are Democratic or Republican ones. If the American people were as confident as you are about supply side economics, rolling back Obamacare, and economic growth, their vote doesn't show it, especially in PA18. Instead, the people of PA18 chose a candidate for fixing, not repealing the ACA; defending SS, Medicare and Medicaid; and against Trump's tax cut.

    Too bad you didn't chose to read further, because there was more. We have more people die from preventable diseases per 100K than other countries too.

    I see you have no citation to prove that our health care is the most effective and at the least cost. There's a reason for that. Again, health care was the #1 issue on the minds of PA18 voters, and they rejected the Republican candidate in an R+20 district.

    Just as the tax cut was passed without any D votes, and the people in PA18 chose a candidate that was against the tax cut. Let that sink in for a moment.

    You've yet to show any evidence, even after I asked for a citation.

    I'm going to step out of this conversation now because I have no desire to defend one party or the other. I am not a Democrat or a Republican. I'm just a political junkie watching the tides change.

    IMO, it's not that there is 2 many partisans, it's that the RNC and DNC force new elected people to conform to partisan BS or be basically blackballed.
    The voters need to realize this. And vote middle of road people over and over.

    Do your homework if you are interested in the truth. To claim that the US health care system is weak is absurd.

    There is no mention of Lamb's opposition to the Trump tax cuts on his website. But on health care he states that ObamaCare has flaws, claims to fix them, but offers no list of the flaws and what he will do to fix those flaws ?? Why not ??

    If your interested in the truth you will find it. Don't blame me for not providing guidance.
