 merrie says: Stupid enough to think increased preventive care will save the government money, just because President Barack Obama constantly repeats it despite all the independent studies to the contrary. Stupid enough to believe that a program with no cost controls that can be discerned by the Congressional Budget Office will control costs. Stupid enough not to worry that Obama's proposed superteam of technocrats operating outside normal political controls " the so-called Independent Medicare Advisory Council " will resort to rationing when costs continue to spiral upward. Stupid enough to consider it wise to use several billion dollars in cuts from Medicare to create a new entitlement rather than to forestall Medicare's own looming insolvency, currently projected for 2017. Stupid enough not to notice that the "public option" was explicitly designed by the left as a stealthy path to single-payer, even as liberals continue to talk and write about its ultimate purpose openly. Stupid enough to believe that we’ll be able to keep our current health-care arrangements if we like them, even though the public option could throw tens of millions of people out of private insurance. Stupid enough to trust the same people who came up with the public option as stealth single-payer to craft a co-op provision that isn’t a stealth public option. Stupid enough to credit Obama’s assurances that the Democrats’ reform isn’t about government intervention in the health-care system when — even without the public option — it all-but-nationalizes health insurance. Stupid enough not to see through Obama’s sudden insistence on calling his plan “health insurance reform” as empty poll... Stupid enough to blame nefarious Republicans for the faltering public support for an expensive, ungainly and contradictory health-care program passed out of four congressional committees on strict party-line votes. Stupid enough to trust the good faith and public-spiritedness of an administration operating on Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s ram-it-through-now credo that a crisis should never go to waste. And stupid enough not to be offended at how contemptibly stupid they think we are. NO ONE can be THAT STUPID!!!! can they? Yeah maybe....... DEFINITELY! Great piece! |
