Pres-uh-dent B-uh-rock H-uh-sain Uh-bomba’s speech patterns are so annoying that I can’t bear to listen to him speak at all. I like the Rush speed-up.

What a twisty way with words he has. He's really not talking about the patient being better off medically, but the single payer system being better off financially.

There's probably a name for this rhetorical device, and I wish I knew it. It's a slick switch, or it could have been if he hadn't fumbled it with the 'uh'.
