Despite GOP Opposition, Obama Health Care Summit Finds Cure for Insomnia

Posted on | February 25, 2010 | 10 Comments

The Presidential Boredom Task Force is meeting today at the Blair House in D.C., with Democrats telling boring stories about sick people without insurance:

In their opening statements, Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid focused largely on the why of health care reform instead of the how. They told the stories of people struggling with their health insurance and didn’t do much to tie it back to how their proposals would make life better for those folks.

Which is a fair synopsis of the basic problem here: Democrats want to scream that the “system is broken,” and regale us with sob stories — “A killer whale with a pre-existing condition ate that poor girl’s deductible!” — in order to push through a plan that, (a) won’t necessarily fix these issues, (b) could harm the overall system, (c) is overwhelmingly opposed by voters, and (d) would cost umpteen kazillion dollars.

Allow me to suggest an innovative health-care solution that won’t require endless blathering on national TV:

KILL THE DAMN BILL!

Continuing coverage at Michelle Malkin, Hot Air and Memeorandum, for those with an insatiable appetite for pointless tedium.

Did I say “pointless”? Yeah, this is just a show, a prextext to give Democrats an excuse to ram through their plan under “reconcilliation” rules without any GOP input whatsoever.

    It’s stupid and yet it’s been working very well for what, going on 80 years now? “Republicans are against Program X which means they are in favor of torturing cute kittens.” Even implied sympathy for kitten torturers is unbearable for most people so they go along.
