ObamaCare: "this rigid, intrusive and grotesquely expensive bill is a nightmare."
2009-11-11
What right-wing, teabagger-loving neoracist traitor to the party wrote these "fishy" half-truths and distortions:
...this rigid, intrusive and grotesquely expensive bill is a nightmare. Holy Hygeia, why can't my fellow Democrats see that the creation of another huge, inefficient federal bureaucracy would slow and disrupt the delivery of basic healthcare and subject us all to a labyrinthine mass of incompetent, unaccountable petty dictators? Massively expanding the number of healthcare consumers without making due provision for the production of more healthcare providers means that we're hurtling toward a staggering logjam of de facto rationing. Steel yourself for the deafening screams from the careerist professional class of limousine liberals when they get stranded for hours in the jammed, jostling anterooms of doctors' offices. They'll probably try to hire Caribbean nannies as ringers to do the waiting for them.

A second issue souring me on this bill is its failure to include the most common-sense clause to increase competition and drive down prices: portability of health insurance across state lines. What covert business interests is the Democratic leadership protecting by stopping consumers from shopping for policies nationwide? Finally, no healthcare bill is worth the paper it's printed on when the authors ostentatiously exempt themselves from its rules. The solipsistic members of Congress want us peons to be ground up in the communal machine, while they themselves gambol on in the flowering meadow of their own lavish federal health plan. Hypocrites!
Click through for the answer. It will shock you!

No they won't. The top 15% will do what they always do [to include the congresscritters and their families], hop a plane/junket to an off shore location and get quality medical care. It's just screwing the other 70% below them with in even less care and access all in the name of the bottom 15% that makes their little ugly pseudo moralistic hearts feel good.

She knew they were into all that when she voted for 'em, she went ahead and put her brain cells on the shelf in the fridge and voted for them anyway.
