Robert Reich is trying to put a cheerful face on the "government option". But it is like put lipstick on a pig.
This is courtesy of Hot Air, but since it drove the show for the first 90 minutes I wanted you to see it for yourself.
From Verum Serum, Robert Reich, from a 2007 speech at Berkley (I know. I know) where he decides to play the role of a politician, actually a Democrat Politician
and tells the truth about Government Run Health Care. Remember
this is all Dr. Reich.

I don’t want a European lifestyle.
Had the ‘government option’ been in force at Reich’s birthtime, he’d have been aborted.
BG, I was just flummoxed when I heard this today. He knowingly said this is what was REALLY going to happen, and he said it plainly.
Due to the fire, I was homeless and my sisters took the vote, and I am now my Mom’s caretaker. IF ANYONE ever told me she was going to be denied treatment due to her age, 85 on Thursday, and to just be LET TO DIE, just like Reich says in his audio, I would be like Denzel Washington in that movie about his son’s heart tansplant.
And so would many other sons.
Frankly, I think Reich came up short on his explanation.
for later
He actually says just what is the heart of all the crappy bills in the house and senate. His speech wasn’t 1000 pages long. Guess it wasn’t filled with pork.
He needs to stand tall and preach from the soapbox about his short sighted views.
“I dont want a European lifestyle.”
Me either. We had this argument once already a couple of hundred years ago. . . didn’t like their style then; don’t like it now.
That is coming as soon as obamacare is rammed down our collective throats. Blood WILL spill, and it won't be from the infirmed.
Credit to Rush - you would never know of the stature of Robert Reich from anything he’s ever said of him.
Did you hear his explanation of less innovation meaning that you(the kids) can not expect to live any longer than your parents? Followed by nervous laugh... Did you?
