Hurry Up And Wait

Fiasco: A year’s worth of Obama health-care soundbites

The president spent a year demanding immediate action on a bill which, if passed, would not go into effect for years. And now that he is starting to realize that ObamaCare is an enormous political liability, he is content to let “the dust settle”
on it. But it is not all about him. It is about you, and how much less you like his bill now.

“I’m Not Going To Walk Away Just Because It’s Hard.”

Obama: I will continue to fight for you by trying to pass a bill you despise

No one likes the bill, it’s killing him with independents, but he’s invested too much political capital in it to end up with absolutely nothing. So he’ll end up with a hugely pared-down bill, a.k.a. almost absolutely nothing, and then tout it as some grand accomplishment that he’ll build on later even though everyone knows that he won’t. Remember, the goal, practically from day one, was simply to pass something, and that’s exactly what they’re going to get. “Something.”

Bad News

USA Today reports on unrealistic revenue, savings expectations in ObamaCare

This isn’t exactly what Democrats needed as they come back to Washington DC to push through an unpopular overhaul of the American health-care system.  USA Today
highlights the concerns over the revenues and the savings in ObamaCare, reviewing the assumptions built into the version of the Senate bill in an evenhanded manner.  The point still gets made — that there is a lot of magic in these assumptions

A Gentle Reminder For NBC’s Emeritus

Video: Brokaw says we should emulate Oregon’s health-care system

Brokaw mixes apples and oranges in this argument anyway; UCLA is a public hospital that does research on medical treatments, hiking the cost considerably as part of the investment into finding new and more efficient treatments. One cannot compare a teaching hospital’s cost structure to that of an entire state without being a demagogue. Besides which, health care costs aren’t necessarily about price tags. One can bring the cost of care in the final two years of life by simply refusing to provide it, as Oregon did with Barbara Wagner. They initially refused to provide her with medication to fight cancer, but offered instead doctor-assisted suicide. That certainly reduces costs — by throwing away the patients.
