From yesterday:
*Texas’ Medicaid quandary, Mitchell Schnurman’s Business commentary, p. 1D –(No, I didn’t miss this. It’s just, some days his crap is so tedious it’s not worth my time.) … Stop me if you’d heard this:
1) Schnurm bashes Perry for not “expanding Medicaid”; says the federal government was gonna pay for “nearly” all of it, so what’s the big deal?;
2) he doesn’t mention how long the fed pays (the spigot slows in three years) — or from which body cavity the fed would retrieve this money;
3) he thinks growing the Medicaid rolls is a good thing, it shows “a pent-up demand for health care.” (Actually, chief, it shows pent-up demand for free stuff — and that“demand” is boundless.)
Bottom line — and hip dweebs like Schurm either don’t see it or refuse to admit it: We’re ALL headed to Medicaid if Dear Leader succeeds. It’s called single-payer — and there ain’t enough coin in the cosmos to begin to fund that. Our superior health care system will simply be destroyed — and that’s fine with the Left, as it wasn’t “fair.” The same thinking goes for our Constitutional form of government and capitalism.
