Looking Past the Bait: Breaking Down the House Health Care Bill

The Administration has used the financial collapse that government brought us very well: It gave Congress a “Stimulus” bill that provided more pork than Congress itself might have had the nerve to include while effectively repealing the Clinton/Gingrich reform of federal welfare; it budgeted spending in numbers only computers can handle and it took command of the major banks, a huge chunk of insurance and the U.S. auto industry; to that, it is preparing to add a takeover of the student loan business and wage control of banking and possibly others. Not bad for less than a year’s work!

But the year isn’t done yet and while the obvious contradictions in ObamaCare would be better handled by more time and thought, the program is receiving just the opposite: more and more public and private pressure, costly selling, outright lying, obvious backroom deals with major players like the AMA, drug and hospital groups and more public appearances by the Salesman-in-Chief than we were used to when he was running for office. Why?

Well, reading all those pages in the House Bill offers some ideas about that. Just now, all the fuss seems to be about the public option and cost. Cost isn’t arguable, the cost just doesn’t compute; that leaves the public option for discussion and it is getting plenty. Not much else in the Bill is, however.

There’s more to ObamaCare than the Public Option though, just as there’s more to the anglerfish than his little wiggling bait.
