PelosiCare and ReidCare Counting Their Days

Monday, December 7, 2009 at 12:19PM

I have four each posts from Memeorandum today and then we will "count the days" of the estrangement of the Pelosi and the Reid from public life.

David Herszenhorn / Prescriptions: Team of Ten's Goal: A Not-Quite-Public Plan

Well, the first thing to state is that the Public Plan is dead in the water...we talked about this last night.

WANTED: A health insurance plan that seems to be government-run but is not actually government-run. Must make voters feel like they are getting the same V.I.P. treatment as United States senators and representatives (who by law are actually not supposed to get any real V.I.P. treatment). Must give beneficiaries a menu of choices while establishing strict standards for the benefits provided and maintaining premium costs within fairly tight limits.

That seems to be what a pivotal group of Senate Democrats are trying to find, as they seek a compromise on the divisive issue of a proposed government-run health insurance plan, or public option. So far, lawmakers have found that there is very little room for negotiating between the two sides in the debate. [...]

Did you notice the constitution being mentioned? Anywhere in the entire article? No, you didn't.

Ezra Klein: Exclusive: Medicare buy-in attracting interest in the public option negotiations

Sources who have been briefed on the negotiations say that Medicare buy-in is attracting the most interest. Expanding Medicaid is running into more problems, though there's some appeal because, unlike increasing subsidies, expanding Medicaid actually saves you money. There's also ongoing discussion about tightening regulations on insurers, but I don't know the precise menu of options being considered. [...]

Sounds a lot like some retarded water got taken in there. OH! WAIT! Did you notice the constitution being mentioned? Anywhere in the entire article? No, you didn't.

Nate Silver / FiveThirtyEight: In Polls, Much Opposition to Health Care Plan Is From Left

Don't know why I didn't catch this earlier, but it strikes me as fairly important.

Ipsos/McClatchy put out a health care poll two weeks ago. The topline results were nothing special: 34 percent favored "the health care reform proposals presently being discussed", versus 46 percent opposed, and 20 percent undecided. The negative-12 net score is roughly in line with the average of other polls, although the Ipsos poll shows a higher number of undecideds than most others.

Ipsos, however, did something that no other pollster has done. They asked the people who opposed the bill why they opposed it: because they are opposed to health care reform and thought the bill went too far? Or because they support health care reform but thought the bill didn't go far enough?

It turns out that a significant minority of about 25 percent of the people who opposed the plan -- or about 12 of the overall sample -- did so from the left; they thought the plan didn't go far enough. [...]

Now, FiveThirtyEight says that they are into Politics Done Right. Now, how can anyone say that they are all about getting politics right when there is no mention of the United States Constitution? I don't get it. If I was FiveThirtyEight, the thing that I wouldn't miss was the lack of the constitutionality of a federal health care Bill from any angle and from any politician. Period. There is none. So, did you notice the constitution being mentioned? Anywhere in the entire article? No, you didn't.

And here is another from the unconstitutinal Ezra Klein...

Ezra Klein: The not-a-public-option compromise, and beyond

Um, Ezra? Public Option is DOA. Get over it. Get a load of this one...bold-faced is mine...

There's a lot left to be decided in health-care reform, or at least there should be. The subsidies could use some help, and the Medicare Commission should be strengthened. The House and Senate need to figure out their revenue measures, and Ken Thorpe is right that more could be done on the delivery side. But whatever issues are left to resolve in the policy, the politics have come down to hammering out a compromise on the public option.

Last week, Harry Reid convened a working group to develop a compromise. Five liberals and five conservatives would attend. Chuck Schumer, Jay Rockefeller, Tom Harkin, Sherrod Brown and Russ Feingold would represent the left. Mark Pryor, Blanche Lincoln, Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman would speak for the moderates. But Lieberman didn't show up. [...]

Does anyone see any conservatives listed there? Anywhere? Anyone? HELLO? By the way, in the article, did you notice the constitution being mentioned? Anywhere in the entire article? No, you didn't.

Silly libtards. Pretending they are concerned and not considering the United States Constitution and pretending that there are COnservatives someplace is astronomical to me. You?

So, Memeorandum is done, for now, so here are the real pepes...

Pelosi Courting the Blue Dogs

So, why is Nanna P counting the Blue Dogs? It seems as though she doesn't have enough votes?

Because the defeatorats cut Medicare that they have been blaming the Republicrats apart over. Good thing we have the Tea Partiers. Who needs the GOP or the DNC?

Let Freedom Ring: Democrats Slash Medicare Home Care Budget

[...] The Democrats have accused Republicans of wanting to cut Medicare, hinting that the Republicans don’t care about senior citizens. Now the truth is out. This NYTimes article is proof that the only political party that’s cutting Medicare are the Democrats:

By a vote of 53 to 41, the Senate on Saturday rejected a Republican effort to block cutbacks in payments to home health agencies that provide nursing care and therapy to homebound Medicare beneficiaries.

Republicans voted against the cuts, saying they would hurt some of the nation’s most vulnerable citizens. Most Democrats supported the cutbacks, saying they would eliminate waste and inefficiency in home care.

The Democrats’ health care bill would reduce projected Medicare spending on home care by $43 billion, or 13 percent, over the next 10 years. The savings would help offset the cost of subsidizing coverage for the uninsured.

There’s the proof. Democrats voted to cut Medicare’s home health care budget by 13 percent over the next 10 years. The next time that I hear a Democrat say that there won’t be a cut in benefits as a result of them cutting Medicare by $467,000,000,000, I’m gonna get in their face and tell them that they’re lying through their teeth. Then I’m gonna read them the riot act. THEN I’m gonna get nasty. [...]

GET NASTY! Somebody besides myself has to come unglued on these idiots in DC!

Dems Cut $43 Billion From Home Health Care

For all of you baby boomers out there who are soon to be seniors– let’s hope you have a wad of cash stashed somewhere because you’re going to need it. Democrats just slashed home health care by $43 billion this past weekend. [...]

And that's a fact Jack!

Here's another one...

Dems cut Medicare home health services to fund coverage of uninsured

So, we have to defund others so that others get the funding? Yep. Tell the elderly they are screwed because they are screwed, if the defeatoramps have anything to say about it all.

And, finally, we have a specific towards the ReidCare dweeb...

Unbelievable: Harry Reid Compares Opponents Of Health Care Reform To Defenders Of Slavery

YES! YES! YES! WE ARE ALL SLAVES NOW! THE US CONSTITUTION? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?

[...] Speaking on the Senate floor this morning, Reid said "Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right."

He continued "When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said 'slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough' ... He continued: "When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote, some insisted they simply, slow down, there will be a better day to do that, today isn't quite right." [...]

Reid. No wonder he's losing in Nevada. What kind of evil snake oil is this moron taking these days? There's more that Dave speaks of...

[...] Several GOP Senators immediately took after Reid, including Tom Coburn who said the remarks were, "beneath the dignity of the Majority Leader". I disagree with Coburn because Reid is a shameless hack of a politician who makes Senator Pat Geary from the Godfather II look like a paragon of virtue. I find it hard to believe Reid has any dignity to be beneath. [END]

Pelosi and Reid are counting their days in public service and they know it. They have covered enough territory to cause themselves some serious hurt. I have very well often said that one day these cretins are going to dig themselves into a corner that they cannot get out of. They will blame others but in the end, people will know what they are and that is unconstitutional hacks and need to be thrown under the prison and throw the keys away.
