Senate democrats vote NO to include themselves in Obamacare legislation.
"On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan. Yet all Democrats -- with the exceptions of acting chairman Chris Dodd, Barbara Mikulski and Ted Kennedy via proxy -- voted nay."
Ah, liberal condescension at its finest.
Bravo to Republican Tom Coburn for shining a light on all the cockroaches.
Plus, MM looks inside the monstrous (and I contend, wicked) Obamacare bureaucracy."Because 32 “czars” isn’t enough, the Democrat plan would add another overlord to the Obama administration. The new “Health Choices Commissioner” would helm the new “Health Choices Administration” (Section 141 of the bill) – separate from the already existing Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (formerly the Health Care Financing Administration), the Veterans Health Administration, and the Indian Health Service.
Because the government has done such a boffo job managing the near-bankrupt Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds, the Democrats have proposed creating a “Public Health Investment Fund” and a “Health Insurance Exchange Trust Fund.” The latter would create a “transparent and functional marketplace for individuals and small employers to comparison shop among private and public insurers.”
No matter that state insurance departments already operate such systems. Health care must be “fixed.” The federal cure is redundancy."
Now, bend over and let Dear Leader continue his work!
Oh. And guess what?! Obamacare Will Cover 12 Million Illegal Aliens.
~~'Cause we just have oodles n boodles of money to throw around!
