AMEN!!! But nobamacare isn't the way to do it, obviously.
Comments at site: very cruel to poor Ronnie...
GOP should end healthcare insurance at work.
(Fix the tax code.) This old WW2 wage and price control idea is outdated and stupid.
And repeal the mandates so the market and consumers prevail.
..something RUSH has been saying for years....wonder if this author realizes it....*smiles*
Don't claim naivete, it's old fashioned stupidity. If you are 'naive' then you shouldn't be in the business........................
Why? Both the employees and employers are happy with it. If it were not for work provided insurance, most people would not be able to afford health insurance.
Advocates for a strong executive branch, including me,
= Statist douchebag...
And puts them squarely in the beginning of the Presidential primary season in 2016................
The reporter is admitting to being in the tank for Obama and Obamacare. The rats are jumping ship.
The cure must NOT be worse than the disease.
We need to go back to what we had and modify it - not go forward to some idiot liberal idea that’s worse.
It is less naivete and stupidity than simple dishonesty. You literally can not have a job like that without being willing to obediently repeat any lie you are ordered to repeat.
These people are stupid in many ways. But they are careerists. And the only way to advance their careers and keep their jobs is to repeat the stories they are told to repeat.
The problem is they realized after they have lied too many times their credibility is destroyed, no one listens to them and they become useless. That is what the author is talking about. Repeated lying has destroyed his credibility and his career and he is tired of it. His usefulness is finished and he fears he will soon be without a job.
He dearly wants the government to be his daddy, because at some fundamental level he instinctively understands that Ron Fournier himself is not competent to act as a normal adult. That's probably why he can't understand that there are real adults in this world, some of them in the GOP. But he can't get past his anti-conservative bigotry and can't hide his knee-jerk, reflexive Democrat/Commie partisanship.
Ron Fournier, please pick up the white courtesy phone, the IRS is calling...
The true reason for the author being frustrated is that he can not lie about the ACA anymore. He cannot effectively urinate on the LoFo's (low information voters) legs and tell them it is a spring shower, anymore, without being called out.
Is getting sick defending Obamacare covered by Obamacare?
The reason for the high cost of healthcare is the connection...and then government’s intrusion...get back to free market and prices would drop.
Naive? Stupid would be a better description.
From Wikipedia:
Ron Fournier (born 1963) is an American national political journalist currently of the National Journal. Fournier had previously served as Washington bureau chief at the Associated Press (AP) until leaving in In June 2010.
...In May 2008, Fournier was named the acting Washington bureau chief, replacing his “mentor” Sandy Johnson. Since taking over the position, Fournier has led a dramatic shift in the AP’s policy, moving it away from the neutral and objective tone it had become known for and toward a more opinionated style that would make judgments when conflicting opinions were presented in a story.[4]
Why? Both the employees and employers are happy with it.
I'm with you, Blood of Tyrants... Why should the link between "work" and "things you can buy with money you earn working" be broken?
