Krugman calls senator’s cancer story ‘garbage’
daily caller ^ | 1-29-14 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 01/29/2014 3:41:35 PM PST by TurboZamboni

New York Times columnist and Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman is questioning Oklahoma Republican Sen. Tom Coburn’s claim that Obamacare caused him to lose his cancer specialist.

“It’s a garbage story, it really is,” said Krugman in a back-and-forth with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on CNN after the State of the Union on Tuesday.

Coburn, who announced earlier this month that he’ll resign from office at the end of the year as he battles his fourth bout with cancer, told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that his oncologist was no longer covered under his health care plan.

When you’re garbage, everything seems like garbage.

Come on, Krugman, do what you do best-investigate! Don’t just assume...

Why does anyone care what Krugman has to say??? He is a grossly incompetent liar about all things having to do with his so-called line of expertise (Economics). That he doesn’t know or care to know about the real impact of Obamacare on the People (which includes Tom Coburn), then he is nothing more than a partisan shill promoting the Leftie propaganda. American news pundits for the most part really do suck bad.

Coburn IS a doctor. Krugman pretends to be an economist.

It is a “garbage story” in the sense that the tale of losing the specialist you once had was CAUSED by the garbage that is part and parcel of the badly mislabeled “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010”. The only part of that title that is not misleading is “2010”. There is no “patient protection”, and nothing about the act is in the least “affordable”, nor does it assure in any way there shall be “care” available when all the hoops have been jumped through.

I've warned that as the left watch all this unravel, their only defense and reaction will be to lash out in some of the most ugliest ways imaginable.

What Krugman said is tame compared to what's coming

True - Krugman pretends, and everyone lets him get away with it. Hence my comment about most the pundits sucking. They need to call out the Baloney blasters in Jim Cantore fashion.

I wonder if Krugman knows this...

After all he lives in a bubble...and would love to see the look on his face when he gets the news...

Krugman is an economist, but his field of expertise is narrow...

For some reason libtards think he is some type of economic wizard in all fields...where in fact he is an moron in areas he pretends to understand..

I’ve posted on the other Coburn threads that I don’t understand why a guy my age is on Obamacare rather than Medicare.
If he was my senator, I’d certainly ask that question.

Kurgan, otherwise known as CINC garbage, should know the smelly stuff well enough.

That clown hasn’t gotten to within six sigma of the truth since he failed his high school algebra class.
