Healthcare Hypocricy?

I'm still reading it, but I'm perplexed (and maybe she is having an identity crisis and just waking up) by her multiple references to the Democratic party as "my party", while saying she's a libertarian.

Those two ideologies haven't been remotely compatible since at least LBJ. Big government is an enemy to liberty.

I caught that too and found it odd so much so I actually looked her up on wikipedia (not a site I would rely on for total accuracy). For what it is worth – here is the link:

1st we were introduced to fantasy sports.....now Congress wants everyone to play "Fantasy-Government"!

EA Sports need to run with this new game idea. The libbers would love it. They could spend, spend, spend, with just a click of their game controller.

Ah, makes sense now. She's a social libertarian.

She asked 'Why the rush?'

The answer: So that they could begin their destruction of our liberty before the American Citizens could find out about it and put a stop to it. Surely it's in Saul Alinsky's book, Rules for Radicals, which they are using like a coach's playbook.

I wonder if this person will make Olberman's worst person of the day.


Oh wait, nobody will ever know.


I will hold my breath until this is covered in the mainstream media. Goodbye all.

Apparently, The American College of Surgeons has taken exception to a few of President Obama’s recent remarks:

The American College of Surgeons is deeply disturbed over the uninformed public comments President Obama continues to make about the high-quality care provided by surgeons in the United States. When the President makes statements that are incorrect or not based in fact, we think he does a disservice to the American people at a time when they want clear, understandable facts about health care reform. We want to set the record straight.

Yesterday during a town hall meeting, President Obama got his facts completely wrong. He stated that a surgeon gets paid $50,000 for a leg amputation when, in fact, Medicare pays a surgeon between $740 and $1,140 for a leg amputation. This payment also includes the evaluation of the patient on the day of the operation plus patient follow-up care that is provided for 90 days after the operation. Private insurers pay some variation of the Medicare reimbursement for this service.

Three weeks ago, the President suggested that a surgeon’s decision to remove a child’s tonsils is based on the desire to make a lot of money. That remark was ill-informed and dangerous, and we were dismayed by this characterization of the work surgeons do. Surgeons make decisions about recommending operations based on what’s right for the patient.

We agree with the President that the best thing for patients with diabetes is to manage the disease proactively to avoid the bad consequences that can occur, including blindness, stroke, and amputation. But as is the case for a person who has been treated for cancer and still needs to have a tumor removed, or a person who is in a terrible car crash and needs access to a trauma surgeon, there are times when even a perfectly managed diabetic patient needs a surgeon. The President’s remarks are truly alarming and run the risk of damaging the all-important trust between surgeons and their patients.

We assume that the President made these mistakes unintentionally, but we would urge him to have his facts correct before making another inflammatory and incorrect statement about surgeons and surgical care.

Awe.some.

You want to know what Liberals are up to?

Just pay attention to what they're accusing Conservatives of doing...

I hear that the Dem town halls are beginning to be referred to as "greenhouses", because they are full of plants.

Republicans lying about quality of National Health Care in Great Britain. Shocking! :roll:

Tiahrt lying about coverage for illegal immigrants in health care bill. I wonder if he's even read the document or if he is just towing the line that the republican spinmeisters have told him. Scare tactics at their best, that is what the republican party does best.

Health care bill not a government takeover of the system as the republican fear mongers would have their minions believe.
