I Liked This Guy



If you haven’t made it affordable, how are you going to enforce a mandate. I mean, if a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house. The reason they don’t buy a house is they don’t have the money. And so, our focus has been on reducing costs, making it available. I am confident if people have a chance to buy high-quality health care that is affordable, they will do so. That’s what our plan does and nobody disputes that.

And this...

That starts with relieving the biggest burden to families, state budgets, and business: the crushing cost of health care. My plan would not only guarantee that every uninsured American could get the same kind of health care that Members of Congress give themselves, it would bring down premiums by $2500 for the typical family, and bring down costs for the entire country by making our health care system more efficient through better technology and more emphasis on prevention.

We are the party of Joe Lieberman now. Obama: The "timid" president? A small-business owner friend recently whispered "I wish we'd picked the bitch," in my ear at lunch the other day. In retrospect, might have been a good idea.
