Ha! My article was about Democrats climbing on board.
Pear has a history, like you, of twisting words. I'll believe this when I'm given a name of a Democrat. Actually, names of enough Democrats to pass it.
Members of both parties told the panel that Medicare should offer a fixed amount of money to each beneficiary to buy coverage from competing private plans, whose costs and benefits would be tightly regulated by the government.
If Obama ends up endorsing some version of this, I've no doubt you will do a complete turn around and will claim to have always supported it!
ekg's right, as usual...You do have a reading comprehension problem. Most likely the result of gold and/or kool aid poisoning, or a tight fitting tin cap and/or tri-cornered hat.
THE NEXT TEST The health care reform law, starting in 2014, will provide premium support subsidies to help people with modest incomes buy private policies on new insurance exchanges. That will be the next big test of whether premium support can work to hold down costs while providing good coverage. With so many uncertainties, it would be rash to weaken or jettison the traditional Medicare program now. The good news is there is some time to get it right.
I'm all for things working right. If this works, I'll support it. Of course, if it does work, your
comrades will take credit.
