Claire McCaskill: Hey, maybe we “overpromised” on ObamaCare
Hot Air ^ | MARCH 25, 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 03/26/2010 6:54:11 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Tens of thousands fewer medical bankruptcies, hundreds of thousands of lives saved, billions of dollars in wasteful medical spending cut. A new golden age of American health care. That’s what we were promised — and it’s still coming, according to McCaskill (I think). It’s just not going to happen as fast as the Democrats have been suggesting. This is the very first wiggle in the endless goalpost-moving that will characterize our new bouncing baby boondoggle in the decades to come, so enjoy it. As for her claim that the GOP is running around screaming that the sky is falling, well, yes: “The sky is falling” means that we’re now en route to single-payer health care, with a detour to a public option that’ll be passed once enough insurance companies have gone bust because they can’t cope financially with O-Care. Each step is a new threshold of crowding out private industry on the way to full-blown socialized medicine; if the left thought they could get away with it politically right now, they’d have done it already — as they’ve admitted many, many times. So yes indeed, the sky has begun to fall. If McCaskill disagrees, she’s welcome to follow that last link and ask Barney Frank and Rahm Emanuel and Jan Schakowsky etc etc whether I’m right.

Are Claire McCaskill and Louise Slaughter the ugly twin Dem’Rat sisters? Isn’t it ironic their last names also have a common theme?

The Democrats imagine that by destroying the medical care industry we will turn to them as saviours.

Got a surprise for them ~ and it's not going to be nice.

Maybe they should be removed back to the seventh generation or something ~ they have BAD GENES!

The medical bankruptcies will be superseded by insufficient care deaths and suffering. I’d love to be rich, but I confess I would still sooner be poor than dead or in agonizing pain.

Gosh, the idiocy is going into hyper-speed.

It is like a crisis of faith, the business cultists cannot believe that government and large insurance businesses do not collude. And it is so brash here, they outright fantasize about the public option trick Obama pulled, as if it was not a trick, but the devil to come. They so idolize the amorphous “private industry” and so hate government, they cannot fathom a collusion, and construct an ill-informed “pre existing condition” misunderstanding to rescue their idolized gods, turning them into victims, rather than controllers, of the government.

“The Democrats imagine that by destroying the medical care industry we will turn to them as saviours.”

Depends on what parts of the industry.

Doctors and Medicare patients will be hurt. Medical device manufacturers will be mussed since they do not have the power of the HMOs and insurance industry, who proposed this legisation, and who will gravely profit from it as they have done with RomneyCare.

RomneyCare was the insurance industry’s trial run.

Their faces reflect their minds. Pretty pathetic and most vile.
