(Cough) Douchebag (Cough)

Joe Lieberman pretending to be thoughtful about his opposition to the public option when, in fact, he’s been bought off by the healthcare lobby.

Lucky Joe. He can use his government healthcare plan for that nagging cough.

But you can’t.

    Thoughts about the public option…am I wrong to think that the public option would spur creativity and entrepreneurism…big time?! If we weren’t so fearful of “losing our health benefits”?

    Not only would it make it easy for you and me to become entrepreneurs, it would make it easy for us to recruit quality employees for our business because they could come on board without having to worry about whether or not we could offer health insurance.

    Whenever members of our government align with the corporate community so strongly AGAINST an idea, it’s a good indication that the idea is probably a very good one. All those people put together haven’t had one good idea between them in at least the past twenty-five years.Keep fighting for the public option, folks; it’s the only real change out there. The rest is botox and lip injections.

    “If we create a public option, inevitable th public is going to end up paying for it”????????

    ???????????????????????????????????Huh?Duh!!!Someone ought to instruct Joe and these other math geniuses that there is not currently a penny of health care services in this country that isn’t paid in one way or another by the public.Godammit! They’re using that funny math again! You know, where somehow, so long as private health insurers pay claims, that health care in America costs less?The way that is possible is if you take into consideration that insurers aren’t actually paying for all of the healthcare they are responsible for. Yeah, then, healthcare is free…for the insurer.What a dumbass. I liked him better on Alf.

    Lieberman’s against a public health care option? Gee, big shock there. Almost as surprised as when I saw the sun rise in the east this morning.

    I was using teh googles ™ to try to find the actual health care benefits our members of congress recieve and came across this article by Rep. Steve Kagen (Posted: June 29, 2007): Why I Declined My Congressional Health Coverage

    While I don’t have the particulars handy, I do know they get VIP treatment at military facilities like Bethesda NNMC. Public coverage is good enough for them, but not everyone else. Asshats.
