The fact of the matter is that during GOP leadership healthcare costs have exploded, during Democratic leaderships the costs have slowed or stayed flat. The chart aint lying. Voters who believe the Republicans are going to decrease the costs of healthcare are delusional. Do the graphs actually show Obama's terms? Looks like they end in 2008, in which case that second plateau is GWB's second term. But point taken that Reagan fucked the country up badly.
