Harry Reid says we're too stupid to decide what kind of health insurance to buy. He also claims allowing us to keep the plans we have is "kind of selfishness that is wrecking this country.
It seems to me that the arrogance of scumbag politicians like Obama and Harry Reid is wrecking this country.
GOP Healthcare Bill Denounced | The Arizona Conservative
Senator Ron Johnsons (R-Wisc) proposed legislation, the If You Like Your Health Plan, You Can Keep It Act, was immediately denounced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) as out of line.
This bill would completely undermine the Affordable Care Act, Reid charged. It trades on the simplistic notion that individuals should be permitted to decide what kind of health insurance they need. This is flawed logic. First of all, individuals arent qualified to assess the complex issues of health care coverage. Second, allowing people to keep plans they like would cater to the kind of selfishness that is wrecking this country.
In defense of his bill, Senator Johnson argued that it merely implements President Obamas promise that those who like their existing insurance would be allowed to keep it. As were seeing millions of customers are being notified by their insurers that the Affordable Care Act requires the cancellation of non-conforming plans.
The Presidents promise was never intended as a blank check on behalf of personal greed, Reid countered. Those who like their existing insurance because it gives them coverage they want at a price they can afford are overlooking the broader social obligations they must bear as a member of society. All the President is asking is that we all share the burden of subsidizing the coverage of those worse off than themselves.
