Susan Estrich: Obama QAHCAA Health Care Plan 'Almost Laughable'
NewsBusters ^ | July 17, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 07/17/2009 6:10:24 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

It is one thing for conservatives to criticize President Obama's QAHCAA (Quality, Affordable Health Coverage for All Americans) health care plan but now even a number of liberals are attacking it as unworkable. We recently saw skepticism emanating from Morning Joe's Mika Brzezinski and now fellow liberal, Susan Estrich, is expressing deep doubt that any such plan is economically feasable. Estrich kicks off her column with a sarcastic look at the "success" of Obama's stimulus plan:

The stimulus program must really be succeeding in Washington, D.C. Government is hiring; people are working. In fact, if news reports are to be believed, they're working night and day. So maybe there's some sleep deprivation thrown in for good measure. And don't forget the legendary heat and humidity that made service in the nation's Capitol hazardous before the advent of air conditioning.

What other explanation could there be for my friends in Congress and the administration thinking that what the country wants them to do right now is raise taxes and spend a trillion dollars to overhaul health care, much less to push it through in a month in a 1,000-page bill being rewritten every day?

I'm happy she wrote it, but I think she's still mad that Hillary lost. Healthcare was Hillary's signature issue.

This is all a set up. Aim high, shoot low. Piece by piece, inch by inch, Communists TAKE what they want.

“I think she’s still mad that Hillary lost.”

Liberals’ blatherings should always be taken with a grain of salt, even when they sound like they got it.

Susan is a BIG Hillary fan, so this is expected. We are going to see more of a split between the Hillary machine and the Obama wing in the future.

QAHCAA

BOHICA would be a more correct name.

It flies in the face of basic common sense, how could you save money by adding people to be covered?

Why don’t they reform medicaid first and see how to reduce costs in that before screwing everyone else’s healthcare up?

Exactly. Won't we all be so ever grateful that we avoided swift execution? Out of sheer relief we'll now support just a little systemic poison, right? It will act more slowly and be less detectable, but it will render the same result.

At the same time more and more Americans are opposed to this on both sides of the aisle, traitors like Grassely and Hatch are cooperating with the Obama Admistration on these very subjects.

“Healthcare was Hillary’s signature issue.”

Hillary’s plan wouldn’t have been much different I think.

Has anyone compared the two for similarities?
