And Trumps wishes to fix that no?  The cap on corporate taxes will be 
only 15%.  Did you miss that somehow?

Uh, isn't your care at the same price as everyone else?  Why is it *my* 
over-priced care?

So you want to lower the pay of doctors and regulate the charges of 
hospitals?  I can't think of any other way to lower medical costs 
without compromising or denying care to someone.  Oh, I guess we could 
eliminate insurance and just require everyone to pay for their own care. 
  That would be totally in line with what you said.
