A closer look

Why Healthcare is
Wrong for Kentucky.

While medical elites fritter away taxpayer money on questionable science, the needs of Kentucky's best go unmet.

What a $30,000
ER visit really buys.

One average emergency room bill. Here's what that same $30,000 could cover for the folks writing the rules.

600

Lobster dinners

At $50 a plate, every night for nearly two years.

1/3

Of a golf outing

Green fees, caddies, and cigars at an elite resort.

1,000

Bottles of champagne

Popped at every ribbon-cutting from here to Georgetown.

2 hrs

Of helicopter charter

Beltway to the beach house, no traffic at all.

Tailored suits

One for every lobbyist dinner this session.

3,000

Gallons of premium gas

Enough to keep the motorcade running for a year.

Figures are illustrative and meant to make a point, not a budget.
