Did anyone watch Obama's speech tonight on health care? It sucked.
-
@Profwito - those statements are on point. However, they are pointless. Republicans have had years to make changes, they have not. Changes must be made. Unfortunately changes won't be for the better, in the short term. We must hope that the forced changes will get health care off their butts and begin making the market workable for everyone, not just the rich. Government can reduce if the private market makes good headway into making real change, but they likely won't. They have no incentive.

Already, premiums go up every year, small companies can't afford health care, employing people with no health care. The points brought up in this commentary are pointless. Employees already pay for their own health care, they just don't know this. Typically 4k to insure single people, this is removed from your starting salary. Then you begin with premiums, along with co-pays. Obama's plan though problematic, will force changes and progress. MAKE NO MISTAKE. The enemy is HEALTH INSURANCE.

And many are now claiming, "If there is a problem that the governement can't solve, that just means that the government is not big enough".

Great report Sharyl! Thank you! Thank you for showing us the other side. And I highly recommend Cato for future reports.

Wow! Crazy Katie actually sounded like a journalist!

CBS questions El Presidente? Papa Bear Obama's gonna get mad at Katie for this one. "Pay no attention to that man behind the ACORN curtain and do my bidding!"

The workers must work, until they cannot and then....
So long it's been nice to know ya!

He's definitely not stupid. Obama's training ground was the Saul Alinsky school which takes a Machiavellian approach. Any rational means necessary to accomplish what you believe to be good. This includes deception. Funny thing is that the Neo-Con's accept the same premise. The only difference is their claimed ends, the means are the same.

You reminded me of this quote, "Government failure is always used as an excuse for government expansion. Government thrives on crisis and incompetence." Jim Babka

Yes! "Public option" won't have to provide high quality care for a low price if it disperses the costs of the care among the entire population through taxation.
People will already be paying for it through taxation, so any direct fees for public option will be less than those of private insurance. Public option will outcompete the private sector without making healthcare any better, and probably making it much worse.
This is just common sense, statist morons.

Obama, you idiot.
The problems with health care have been caused BY government.
Giving people a government "option" (in the sense that I can choose to send my kids to a private school and go broke, or use a shitty public school), is NOT going to help.
