The Best Health Care In The World, NOT!
CBS is starting to do some reporting, well, Stephanie Condon at CBS is anyway. She has two pieces up today. In 10 Health Care Reform Myths, she covers some of the obvious lies and distortions, as well as a few misunderstandings about what is actually in the House bill.
Then she lets a Republican Senator make a fool of himself in Grassley: “Obama-Care” Wouldn’t Help Kennedy. She refers to her previous article on “Myths” to show Grassley repeating some of them.
I would point out to Senator Grassley, that the Queen Mum wasn’t denied care in Britain, nor was Baroness Thatcher when they had problems at a rather advanced ages. Somehow Henry Allingham made it to 113, and died as the oldest man on the planet, and the last founding member of both the Royal Navy Air Service and the Royal Air Force. Not being wealthy, Mr. Allingham received his care from the National Health Service of Britain, just like the members of Parliament.
I would note that Senator Kennedy’s health insurance is paid for by the taxpayers, just like yours, so your complaint is doubly stupid, which is not exactly a new situation for you.
