Republicans Push Back On Health Care

June 18, 2009 | Jim Vicevich | |

Republicans know they have a winner in this one. A $1.6 trillion dollar health care plan … no plan to pay for it, relying mostly on savings from efficiencies, which coming from a government that never ever demonstrates efficiency on anything is not a good argument, people like John McCain and Lindsey Graham are gaining traction as they try to slow down and hopefully derail this boondoggle. Hey, where was this John McCain during the campaign?

Then there’s Lindsey Graham who keeps coming up with reasons for me to like him challenges the President on his “I will be willing to look at all ideas” line. As Graham says, Mr President, I know bi-partisan. I’ve been bi-partisan. This ain’t bi-partisan.

We have detailed over and over again on why this government run health care program is bad for your health … as these two Senators explain … it’s bad for your wallet too.

    This patently stupid socialist plan by Obambi is a gift to the Republicans.

    It remains to be seen if they can use it to their (and our) advantage. But they have to get out there and pound the message home day in and day out. Show how the Obamateur's scheme will make health care in the country the failure it is in Canada and Great Britain.
