Posted this yesterday. If you missed it The Daily Kos put it this way:

Obama exposes Republican assholery - in three short sentences.

Obama to John Barrasso (R-WY)

Obama: “Would you be satisfied if every member of Congress just had catastrophic care - you think we’d be better health care purchasers?”

Barrasso: “I think actually we would … We’d really focus on it. We’d have more, as you say, skin in the game. And especially if they had a savings account - a health savings account - they could put their money into that, and they’d be spending the money out of that.”

Obama: “Would you feel the same way if you were making $40,000. Or if that was your income? Because that’s the reality for a lot of folks.”

He’s talking to the reality-challenged, but that was a knockout punch.
