I'm pleased that the White House is finally responding to Republican health care ideas instead of pretending they don't exist.[1] But in doing so President Obama should follow his own sound advice and avoid making "wild misrepresentations".[2] Medicare vouchers would give everyone on Medicare the chance to decide for themselves which health plan to use, rather than leave that decision to government bureaucrats. Such proposals are the kind of health care reform that Republicans stand for: market-oriented, patient-centered, and result-driven.
The White House talking points leave the rest of my arguments unanswered. They don't respond to the idea that all individuals should get the same tax benefits received by those who get coverage through their employers; that we must reform our tort laws; and that we should allow Americans to buy insurance across state lines. The White House also fails to respond to the Nyce/Schieber study indicating that wages will fall if the government expands coverage without reducing health care inflation rates.
One last thing: after President Obama's speech tonight, listen for which pundits use the words "false", "scary", and "risky" in describing the proposals I put forward. That's how you'll be able to tell who the White House counted as "allies" worthy of receiving its talking points.

Superb analysis from SP.
Hehehehe...OMG WE HAVE A LIER IN CHIEF!
(Sorry, couldn’t resist piling on!)
LIAR is the correct spelling. Deep bow of the head...
BS, republicans stand for whatever Goldman Sacks wants.

I just wanted the correct spelling in the title. I thought your thread was perfect!
Good God, I love this woman.
And there will be NO apology. (Are you paying attention, Joe?)
Go, Sarah!
Goldman Sachs is one of Obama's and Democrat party's biggest supporters. They won't give the GOP the time of day.

Losing Gordon Gekko: Wall Street has gone over to the Democrats. Should conservatives miss it?
National Review, March 9, 2009 by Kevin D. Williamson
“...GOLDMAN SACHS is one firm that’s learned that politics matters: The sinking investment bank received some $12 billion in bailout funds while its competitor, Lehman Brothers, was allowed to go bankrupt. Goldman operators move easily between government and the private sector and have played key roles in both Democratic and Republican administrations. But like the rest of Wall Street, they have tilted heavily Democratic of late. Goldman Sachs was the biggest business donor to Democrats in 2008, according to a Center for Responsive Politics report. Some 73 percent of Goldman Sachs’s millions in 2006-08 donations went to Democrats...”

‘Of course, now who passed the laws making all this derivatives BS possible. And CRA was attached to it.’
And, of course, you’re changing the subject. You mocked another poster who made a 100% dead-on statement about Dems supporting Sachs. Study the Sachs issue for a while before you butcher another subject.
BS, It is the same subject, the bills were passed by the republicans and signed by clintoon. Now why don’t you know that, and stop the attack stuff.
‘Now why don’t you know that, and stop the attack stuff.’
Attack stuff? Sorry, did I tell you to stop drinking grape kool-ade? Can’t remember...
