Blatant Duplicity on Health Care


That disparagement of Hillary Clinton's health care plan while she was opposing Barrack Obama in the primary elections in 2008, was used in an Obama 2008 campaign mailer. It appeared today in a Wall Street Journal editorial that pointed out what has become the hallmark of the current administration - duplicitousness. The editorial goes on to state:

The centerpiece of the Obama-Baucus plan is a decree that everyone purchase heavily regulated insurance policies or else pay a penalty. This government mandate would require huge subsidies as well as brute force to get anywhere near the goal of universal coverage. The inevitable result would be a vast increase in the government's share of U.S. health spending, forcing doctors, hospitals, insurance companies and other health providers to serve politics as well as or even over and above patients.

As ridiculous as it is to mention it, the WSJ risks being accused of racism for printing such facts,
but apparently that newspaper still believes in furnishing its readers with information that will help them understand the political process and how adversely it can effect them.
