S.S. Health Care Reform runs aground….BIG SURPRISE!

by problembear
did you feel that shudder just now? that was the tide going out and the hull settling down on a sand bar.http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/baucus-takes-ax-to-600b-gop-derides-reform-joke-2009-06-17.html
what was the cause?
max’s ship appears to have a faulty GPS system borrowed from the republicans and the health insurance industry…..
the cost of doing a half-assed job of reform is too high…http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aRIUTvoOGOxE
meanwhile the tide of public opinion has gone out, leaving max and the committee stranded. those of us who counted on some good things happening regarding health care this year aren’t too excited to help push it out to sea again until we get a competent crew…
will the tide come in high enough to float the S.S. Health Care Reform again? possibly, but only if congress considers single payer or a damn strong publicly funded policy….without it, there is no tide and it won’t float. because that is what the public wants.

It was awhile ago that my cup of health care reform cynicism ran over.
But wow that is some photo!

i think the photo is too optimistic. out at sea and sinking like the titanic is more applicable to our situation.

the bears want a piece of max lizard….we don’t want the sharks to have all the fun.

ha! great reply! the uninsured/underinsured might want a piece of his pandering hide as well.
by the way, it was nice to see ochenski stop by. his piece in this week’s indy is spot on. thanks GO!

somebody needs to talk max into retiring with some shred of pride left. has anyone checked to see if he has alzheimers lately? http://amerpundit.com/2009/12/05/shock-baucus-confirms-he-nominated-mistress-as-us-attorney/
ferrcrissakes, show some mercy on this guy and get him off the streets before he starts wandering around the neighborhood in his underwear like our uncle lloyd….

after this past year of watching max baucus in action with his inept stumbling on hcr, i think i would crack under the strain of having to live with the guy myself…. http://www.helenair.com/news/state-and-regional/article_228bfc07-4dcf-5d8d-9c90-2877b8a8c89f.html
this guy could drive ghandi to become a serial murderer…
