The imposed Health Care Legislation is not going to stand - the law is going to be repealed... so the question is a moot point...

My own doc thinks 0bamaCare will be a disaster. Looks like there are a few more that get it.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin’, if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
I’m handling Dynachrome’s FReep a Poll pings until June 22. Errors and omissions during that time are solely my fault and should cease upon his return.

Stupid question. It doesn’t differentiate between the various ways the cost curve can be bent.

Peter Orszag, PH.D!!!!! and Ezekiel Emanuel PH.D!!!!
We’re supposed to be impressed with these guys’ doctorates? Orszag is a smart-ass punk and Emanuel is Dr. Kevorkian.

These reporters don’t understand the difference between prices and costs.
Oh, I’m sure that if Obamacare stands, healthcare prices will go down.
Costs, however, will skyrocket, leading to the rationing and government takeovers we’ve been talking about.

You have to read the article to understand the poll. Obunghole’s brother and his fellow propagandist are saying that costs will go down if 0bamaCare passes.

The way we want to push this is “No”.
I also forgot to credit curth for the ping.

And Ezekiel just happens to be Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel’s brother. Neutral observers for sure.

Using the word “bending” could be construed to be bending upward or downward. A very mis-leading question.

That's why doctors have such bad handwriting. They don't know what they mean either.

An illusory article...proof positive that even usually rational minds can succumb to idealogical idiocy ....
