Benjamin Cardin: Questions costs of new Army Futures Command

"This is the establishment of a major command--an expensive command--and there currently are more questions than answers. The Army should want to make sure that any undertaking this big and this vital is done in a thoughtful and deliberate way rather than being hastily cobbled together," Cardin said. "For perspective, consider that it took the Army almost a decade and multiple studies to establish a new physical fitness test. Surely, a new Army acquisition model should take more than a year to develop."

Arvin Vohra: Lower medical costs come from price competition

A: Strongly oppose. Lower medical costs come from price competition, as has happened with laser eye surgery. Laser eye surgery is not covered by government insurance. Its price has dropped like a rock. EpiPen is covered by government; its price has skyrocketed. The free market lowers medical costs; government increases them.

Q: So what would you do with ObamaCare, repeal or replace, or some combination?
