The senior senator from Louisiana has never experimented with psychedelic drugs. At least that’s what Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., recently said in committee.

But healthcare has become so convoluted in this country that Cassidy feels a bit loopy when trying to understand things like administrative cost. “I’m thinking, ‘Man, I must be dropping acid,’” he said. Then, apparently thinking better of what he had said, he clarified: “Not that I’ve ever dropped acid.” Finally, just to be extra sure, he added: “For the record, I have not.”
