Torpedoed it how? What changes did they make to the bill?

They were all ignored and rejected and the bill went through as designed by the Democrats and guaranteed to save money except that in reality, health care costs are still rising at the same rate they were, nothing has changed and the only way to avoid the reality to blame it on the folks who said I told you so.

Exactly what and where in the bill was there anything to contain health care costs? What was taken out of the bill that would have prevented the current rise in health care costs?

Some facts from the people that live in the "if then" world might avoid the confusion that they claim others are creating.

"if the Ryan and the Repubs had it their way then"

The Democrats had it their way and this is the result, reality. Health care going up and up.
