Obama and the Magical Health Care Forest!

our President is taking on a noble journey through the forest of health care legislation. in this magical forest lurks the goonie-bot right wing corporate GOP trolls. the GOP goonie-bots have only one objective and that is to crush any sort of public plan that competes with private industry to insure people. there among the goonie-bot trolls is a faction of former physicians, who have abandoned their practice for the more lucrative job of working in government where private corps pay them well to wield the evil sword of profit for health. one of these goonie-bot trolls is Philly "the Silly Hill Billy" Gingrey.



watching cspan today and republican rep phil gingrey was doing his straight line dance to the GOP marching band, i couldn't help notice how often ole' philly strayed from reality. he wants reform but he lacks any basis in reality to achieve this. he's vehemently against any sort of gov plan that would compete with private insurers. his claim is that "gov plans just don't work!" and he used medicare and medicaid as his examples.


his silly talking points include, doctors aren't getting paid fairly by medicare, ignoring the fact that private insurers now dictate the overwhelming majority of payments to Drs, thru supplemental and advantage plans. recently US Health Care (the largest medicare contractor as per enrollment) said that this company should be allowed to eliminate Drs who, US Health Care thinks, charge more than other Drs. and US Health Care should also be allowed to eliminate procedures that any Dr finds necessary, yielding to in house staffed medical practioners who get paid directly from US Health Care, to make all coverage determinations, regardless of outcome to patients.....which includes death.




PHilly goes on to say how horrible Medicare is for its enrollees, but he ignores the fact that 99% of all eligible TAKE IT! almost no one turns it down...this horrible torture of taking medicare is close to always taken by its eligibles.



one last point. if gov sponsored plans are so fucking horrible, why isn't Philly the Silly Hill Billy giving up his PAID FOR HEALTH CARE THAT HE RECEIVES FROM THE GOVERNMENT THAT WE FUCKING PAY FOR!!??


ANY REPUBLICAN WHO STATES A HORROR STORY ABOUT GOV SPONSORED PLANS, SHOULD BE FORCE TO GIVE UP WHAT US TAX PAYERS GIVE THEM FOR FREE!


as soon as all of the GOP, all decide they no long will take their free health coverage, given to them and their families, that the government and tax payers provide, at that point they may tell their boogie man stories of the pain they experience being subjected to having free health care for all those years.


this of course separates the dems who are trying to get gov sponsored plans. therefore the almost certain compromise that the GOP may offer, that dems must sacrifice their coverage too, is off the table entirely as of now.



anyone in the GOP want to explain why the GOP congress still keeps their gov sponsored plans?
