As if you need one, yet another reason to hate John Boehner
What a troglodyte this freak is.



from ThinkProgress:



Boehner creates GOP health care task force stacked with industry-tied lawmakers.»

In an effort to combat its “party of no” image, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) announced the creation of a task force that will devise “free-market solutions” to health care and highlight the “consequences” of a “government-dominated health care bureaucracy.” CQ reports that “House Republicans will neither defer to Democrats nor simply try to obstruct them” on health care and notes the heavy influence of industry on the members:

The group’s members are friendly with the health care industry — together, they collected nearly $3 million in campaign contributions from health care political action committees in 2007-08. All but five of the 16 took more than $100,000 from health care PACs.


The panel will be chaired by Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO) who once bragged about blocking the expansion of SCHIP.

3. Holy conflict of interest Batman!
Why don't we get Abramoff out of prison to help reform the lobbyist industry?

Sen. Craig could be put in charge of Health and Human Services, in recognition of his deep knowledge of men's public rest rooms.

And we could get Rep. Mark Foley to oversee the Page Program.

Who better than those who have corrupted and caused problems to "fix" things, right? :eyes:

Alcoholic, meet liquor cabinet key.

Whore, here's a new box of condoms.

Good going, Boner. You really are a boner. :(

8. "Free-market solutions"
Yeah, let's all figure out how to turn a profit on people's sickness and misery. There's got to be a buck to be made here somewhere!

12. That's not the half of it...
They turn a profit by denying care to sick people. And we not only put up with it, we fund it handsomely.

9. Boehner's a lucky man. He's got the best health care in the world
so when the skin cancer finally kicks in . . . and it will . . . he's covered. The rest of us, not so much, but he doesn't care. They are the party of "ME."
