Stewart to Sebelius on health care law “Am I a stupid man?” [Comedy Central Interview]

"The Daily Show" took a more serious turn Monday night when host Jon Stewart introduced his guest for the evening, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius....

Toward the end, Stewart argued that a market-based strategy toward health care is a flawed concept in itself and that a single payer system would have been a more simple approach. But Sebelius jumped in, saying, “if we could have perhaps figured out a pathway, that may have been a reasonable solution.”

See? A millionaire comedian argues against a market-based approach, and argues FOR "single payer", which means government control.

Sebelius acknowledges that that is a goal, they just couldn't figure out how to do it.

Yet.

Based on America’s current rate of acceleration towards a Fascist State under Der Fuhrer 0bama, Single Payer will be a reality before 2016.

THE MONEY QUOTE:

Toward the end, Stewart argued that a market-based strategy toward health care is a flawed concept in itself and that a single payer system would have been a more simple approach. But Sebelius jumped in, saying, “if we could have perhaps figured out a pathway, that may have been a reasonable solution.”

“So this is jerry-rigged to deal with the crazy people?” Stewart asked.

“I think the president did not want to dismantle the health care that 85% of the country had,” Sebelius responded.

LEFTIST B*****DS

You think wrong, Cruella.

Does she ever smile or does the Obamotox prevent that?

Not a chance. Ever so often this nasty piece of crap makes a bid for respectability. He’ll be back to normal tomorrow.

I have hopes Stewart will see the light. I see a guy struggling with the hypocrisy.

Dream on. His entire identity is based on hypocrisy. He’s a leftist political hack masquerading as a comedienne.

I see something in him. I don’t have HIGH hopes but I do have a small hope.

“Am I a stupid man?”

Piers Moron, immediately after showing that video on CNN says..."why yes you are, but...".

Cool!... Lib' cat fight!

Hard to decide who I’d rather see lose this contest, but at least Stewart didn’t let Sibelius dodge the issue of postponing the big business mandate while not doing so for individuals - and Sibelius is so stupid she tries to argue that individuals of course don’t have to buy insurance, but then might get hit by a bus and end up with gigantic medical bills for the rest of their lives - at which point, Kathleen, they would apply for and receive insurance under the fantastic “no denial for preexisting conditions” feature of Obamacare - my head hurts......

Stewart to Sebelius on health care law “Am I a stupid man?”

My pappy used to say, "Don't ask questions that you don't want to know the answer to."
