Government Sponsored Heath Care - what’s the hurry?

A commonly utilized Obama strawman states that “the cost of inaction” is unacceptable. “Action,” naturally, translates into whatever policy Obama happens to be peddling at the time.

When it comes to health insurance, though, there are still reactionaries. Take the folks at the American Medical Association, who have the impudence to claim that “reform” comes with the potential to destroy their industry and your choice.

“The introduction of a new public plan threatens to restrict patient choice by driving out private insurers … ,” says an AMA statement. “The corresponding surge in public plan participation would likely lead to an explosion of costs that would need to be absorbed by taxpayers.”

Guess what? That’s the point.

etc… read it all - this kind of common sense and reason will never come out of the Obama White House.
