Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.) told members of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce here Thursday afternoon that Republicans and Democrats should throw out the proposed Democratic and Republican health care bills and start over.

“It’s time to push the reset button,” Kline said to more than 50 constituents gathered at the Island View Golf Club.

Over a standard Midwestern meat and potatoes buffet lunch, Kline said that the Obama administration’s claim that people who are happy with their health care coverage will be able to continue with the same insurance plans in the future isn’t accurate.

“If you like it, you can keep it, is simply not true,” Kline said.

Medicare Advantage is one program, according to Kline, that would be significantly changed.

1965, and, as usual, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
