Damn that Mark Sanford and his news cycle dominating ways. Anyway, here’s a breakdown (with pie charts!) of the Obama-care infomercial on ABC last night for those of you who may have had better things to do.
Dig this:
In addition to Obama’s longwinded responses, the ABC special left the most critical questions until the “Nightline” portion of the segment – after a 30-minute break for local news and likely fewer viewers.
… after a 30-minute break….?
good lord, how are we defining torture, again?
Something we haven’t heard discussed too much with respect to the public option, it’s competitiveness and the tilting of the playing field towards this alleged “option” is medical malpractice insurance which has been a thorn in the side of doctors for years.
Long story short: will doctors operating under the public option have to buy the same kind of med-mal insurance that private doctors do? The government buys insurance for nothing – everything they purchase and operate is self-insured with your tax dollars and the doctors practicing under the big tent of the public option will be no different.
From jump street and without even having to actively legislate for, the public option already has a huge competitive cost advantage on the private sector.
And speaking of competition, Robert Reich thinks the computer (or cell phone/PDA) upon which you are viewing this would be even better if the government made one as well. For reals. B-Daddy has more, here.

Thanks for the link. The level of intellectual dishonesty used to push Obamacare has reached stupendous heights.
As bad as it sounds, this nation will not wake up unless slapped in the face with HUGE dishonesty. The only way to fix this is to have the enemy get their way. This is typical Chicago thuggery, but on a grand scale.
This is what the country needs to wake up from the petty theft leaving us like slow cooked frogs.
Penulum Dawg!!
