The "politics" of Obamacare is that no Republican voted for it. Krugman and other Statists demand that SCOTUS "stand above politics" now, but were cheering when Pelosi-Reid-Obama crammed this down America's throat.
"unregulated health insurance"
I knew Krugman wasn't exactly bright, but I didn't know he was a COMPLETE MORON!
If health insurance is so "unregulated", then how come I can't buy it from a company in .... Utah? Or Maine, or Iowa, Wyoming, ..... or GUAM! If it is sooooooo, "unregulated", how come I couldn't buy 'Basic Blue' from Blue Cross?
If I did want Blue Cross I had to buy a policy that complied with IL law. And that included extras I didn't want, need, ever use, and that were a NOT in the 'Basic Blue' policy advertised on TV.
Ergo Paul, if health insurance really was "unregulated" I could call GEICO (or any Ins Co) and have basic coverage -- aka: Major Medical -- in ten minutes. But I CAN'T you BONEHEAD because it is "REGULATED"! That being said, there is one thing that really is "unregulated" that involves 'health insurance' and that is "unregulated" Ambulance Chasing Lawyers like John Edwards!
Him and his bottom feeding cronies make a killing suing Doctors and Hospitals for a misdiagnosed Hangnail Infection. But oddly this thing called 'Tort Reform' wasn't even mentioned as a footnote in ObamaCare.
How come 'professor Krugman'? Answer that jerkweed.
....crickets....
Scalia never intimated broccoli was health insurance. He said under the broadest interpretation (perversion) of the commerce clause health care requires the takeover of insurance companies. He said with this broad of an interpretation of the commmerce clause health requires eating, and all people need to eat, therefore under the broadest perversion of the commerce clause one could envision the regulation of the purchace of food (broccoli). So Krugman has defined himself as a pathetic listener, a foolish observer, and a deceitful writer. In other words, he fits right in at the New York TIMES.
If we can be forced to buy health insurance, we can be forced to buy a Volt.
