这正是我不喜欢共和党的原因,根本不顾人民的利益。明明是自己的政策失败,造成国家债务过高,可他们从来不承认。你看,医疗保险都快要崩溃了,穷人根本看不起病。共和党不仅不帮助,反而还要控制保险额。民主党就能看到问题的根本,主张扩大保险的范围。

This is exactly the reason why I don't like the GOP: it totally ignores the people's interests. It's clearly the government's policies that failed, creating such a high national deficit, but they never admit it. Look, the health care system is on the verge of collapse, and the poor just can't afford to see a doctor. The Republican Party not only doesn't help, it even wants to control insurance rates. The Democratic Party can see the root of the problem, and advocates the expansion of insurance coverage.
