Bush On Health Care: Calling Doctors Harry, Louise, And Hillary !!!

<snip>

Let me talk about health care. We're going to talk about health care now. And I've asked some folks to come and explain to you some of the reasons why our policy makes sense. You probably already heard enough from me already for one day. (Audience replies, "No!") Okay, well, that's good. I was just looking for a little affirmation. (Laughter.) If that's the case, I'm just getting wound up. (Laughter, cheers, applause.)

I have a practical, common sense plan to make health care available and affordable -- and that's important -- a practical way to make sure health care is available and affordable and a way to make sure good doctors keep practicing medicine. (Applause.)

I believe health care decisions should be made by doctors and patients, not by bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. (Cheers, applause.) We have a difference of opinion in this campaign. I'm running against a fellow who has got a massive, complicated blueprint to have our government take over the decision-making in health care. (Boos.) His plan, if you listen carefully to what he says, would have bureaucrats become the decision-makers, and that would be wrong for America.

As well today, there's a independent study which has been released which says that his plan would cost the taxpayers $1.5 trillion in new government spending. Not only is his plan going to increase the power of bureaucrats in your lives, but he can't pay for it unless he raises your taxes.

Do these guys EVER come up with anything new???

I mean, besides OB\GYN's practicing their 'LOVE' across America!!!

:wtf:

The Federal system, Medicare, worked fine.

The private system was full of bureaucrats telling me what doctor to see, what procedure to have, where to get an operation, and still they screwed up all the paperwork.

All Bush wants to do is protect the Big Insurance and Big Pharmacuetical companies and screw the rest of us.

And that's the truth.

as I saw the clip on TV from today's speech, it was like I was in a friggin time-warp! Same exact tactic they used to scuttle Health Care Reform in the '90s!

Old football strategy I guess. Keep running that play until it stops working.

:shrug:

Too many people have had the same experiences I've had.

:silly:

wide.

come, lemme sell you a bridge.

Are the brainwashed sheep a voting majority???

:shrug:

know they are in deep doo. But, they got no choice but to continue in the same manner as used previously, the neg route, denigrate/degrade the opp and make yourself look good at the same time. They are pros at it, even use a multipronged approach, have many people say the same BS and it sounds credible...but it really isn't.

That our attention span is so short, its kinda easy to fool these days.

TO FOOL IS TO RULE.

Anything beyond simple declarative sentences is a mystery to Bush. He has to be the dimmest bulb ever to occupy the White House.
