Krauthammer lays it out, and there's no point in excerpting, it's so short, elegant, and intelligent.

The reason that we haven't had health care reform already is easy to isolate, Mr. Obama: the greed of the political class--including Mrs. Obama and her pals.
I say, let's shove it down their throats.

The beauty of Krauthammers suggestions is thatmone of them would essentially remove a large revenue stream from ambulance chasing trial attorneys-like John Edwards...

I might add a third provision to Dr. Krauthammer's idea; allowing the insurance companies to have nationwide pools...
While I'm a large 10th amendment fan, a states rights proponent, I think that much like the banking industry, the insurance companies need to be able to operate across state lines. This would allow them access to much larger pools of individuals to spread the risk over, and should lead to lower premium prices for all involved.
Additionally this change in law might benefit medicare as well, because they currently suffer from a bloated bureaucracy and skewed rate structure due to each individual state's regulations...
This might be an instance where federalization might be beneficial to the nation as a whole...
I agree, about nationwide pools, but I think he addressed that in there, maybe without naming it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a preliminary step.
ReplyDeleteCall me a Federalist fanatic, but anything that doesn't load up the
Shotgun of Justice and pump sufficient rounds into the
Zombie 16th Amendment seems like it isn't going to stop a hungry brain eater.
That's probably the dumbest column I've ever read of Krauthammer's, who was being told to go "fuck himself" and labeled a RINO by all the looney-zoomer wingers after he called Palin a dunce, as I recall.
ReplyDeleteReagan's loop-hole disaster caused the collapse of the S&L's. Fuckin' genius, Reagan, I'd crap on the man's grave if I could.
We're going to break the bones of the profit-driven greed-pimps of the insurance business. You dithering morons who already enjoy gov't subsidized health care can go eat unborn babies for all I care. Everyone knows you're a bunch of pissed off hypocrites who hate that the man is black.
We get it. You no-likey 'em blacks. Them blacks is all Marxists, duuuuuh.
Twice as hard, that's how you're gonna get smacked. Hehehe!
Your hyperbolic cartoon reality aside edge,
ReplyDeleteKrauthammer's column is a solid free market solution with minimal government meddling. It's way superior to Obamacare, and doesn't involve yeat another mass redistribution of wealth; where those happy with their insurance plans subsidize mostly illegal aliens...
And please put that lame RAAAAACIST! meme to rest, really. It's at once laughable and pathetic for some wealthy white dude to try and talk his way into wanna-be, revolutionary chic street cred by accusing anyone who doesn't swoon over Obama or his policies to be a capitalist running dog racist!...
Why don't you worry about what's good for the nation as the Constitutional Republic it is and was founded as, instead of what will allow you to feel good about yourself while at coffee house beatnick peotry readings trying to impress hippy chicks...
Obama and the rest of the far left, in their zeal to right the wrongs of the nation as percieved in the 60's, want to enact policies that will transform our nation into the cartoon workers paradise they used to hallucinate over while taking another bong hit, man!
Trouble is though, a whole lot of truth that has come out since the fall of that other workers paradise, The former Soviet Union, as to just how big a failure totalitarian socialism and communism is. But Obama and the Democrats can't let inconvenient truths and stubborn facts to get in the way of their magic mushroom dreams, dude!
Change! for the sake of M'chelles children!
Because Obama said so!
