Betsey MCCaughey is one of New York State's most famous lunatics. She was dumped as Lt. Governer by then Republican Gov. George Pataki because she was nuts. Almost nothing in that post is true, especially her ridiculous Medicare rants.
On Aug. 22, an appearance on the ''Daily Show'' by the former New York lieutenant governor Betsy McCaughey misstated her political affiliation. Ms. McCaughey has been a registered Democrat since September 1997; she is not a Republican. (Before 1997, she did not declare a political preference when she registered to vote.) Nobody really knows what she is but it is likely that she's in the same dimension as lunatic representative from Minnesota, Michelle Bachman. Nothing either of them says has much to do with this planet. Charlie |

Your House of Representatives has just voted to seize 17% of the national economy in the middle of the night. Sleep tight. Elections do have consequences.
This is how Liberty dies. With thunderous applause. |

Well, I think it was a mistake. Medicare is a prime example and it's humorous how the left holds it up as a high accomplishment when my Grandma got a letter in the mail 3 weeks ago that they're cutting benefits to her Advocare and raising her premium. Cripes, they barely cover enough the way it is!

I don't think there is a link to the fact that the government (arguably, one of the most inept organizations in the country) now controls a greater portion of you life than was probably ever intended. There is no tort reform. In fact the opposite. The States are charged with lowering malpractice costs, as long as it doesn't cap payouts to lawyers (gotta keep that lobby money coming in). They put an abortion rider in there (to buy the moderate dems. votes), but by the democrats own admission, they hope to remove it in the final Senate/House compromise bill. They can now, for the first time, tell the american people what to buy and what not to buy. Everyone has to get it (fines if you don't) wether you need/want it or not, because if you don't, they couldn't, along with cutting Medicare/Medicaid, pay for it. They are counting on a a certain percentage of fines to help cover the costs. Also, the last I heard, they will start collecting monies for this 2-3 years before the healthcare actually goes into effect. That's how the got the total (supposed) cost down to where they are say it is now. Good luck with the government controlling your health care. They must know better than you. Mike |

Actually, George Will said (in one of his very political statements) that the current total spending rate for the government as a whole, which he says is 18% would perhaps move up to 25%. (I strongly doubt it but if I were to trust a conservative, he would lilkely be the one) Still cheaper than the Republican bill for people who need it as they would have to pay whatever insurance companies want and they would be able to screw the government for it at any rate they wish. Medicare is incredibly more efficeint as it is and will only get better with more regulation. So far, very few, if any government program is so. Hopefully the Republicans, which used to be a great party, will catch on that these meetings are not just related to politics, as should be evident. I'm very surprised that what has bubbled to the surface isn't seen for what it really is. Charlie |
