READ THE ACTUAL PROVISION!!!
WTF? How hard is this? the provision still does not do what she or you claim. She lied. Read her selective quote, then read the provision in context. Then come back, take your balls out of your purse and apologize. Stop debating your straw man, and admit the provision has nothing to do with doctors being told what treatments to perform.
…Yet.
It has no practical purpose, otherwise. None.
Well, I suppose you at least admit that it’s not in the current provision… You’re arguing that it will “eventually” get there…This puts you above most of the jokers on this site.
and yet…
You lose, again.
I know this is the internet, but how old are you? 15? 16?
But alright, I’ll bite. How did he “lose”? He argued it wasn’t in the provision, you admitted as much but claim that there is a conspiracy of which this provision is the first step. [/quote]
I serve to annoy.
If 100 meters cannot see the purpose of these provisions, their origins and intent, why should we engage him further? His loss.
As for my age, well this is the internet. I am old. I am impossibly old. I am old enough to have studied (academic credentials here) national health care plans since the great wave of them in 1972.
It may occur to you at this point that I must be senile, and I assure you that I am not. But I look on Daschle–and even Ms McCaughey–as newcomers to the issue. Imagine that you and 100meters are ingenues, no fault of your own.
Which introduces the next question: who, if not Mr Daschle, will be the ringleader of this circus?
In Obama’s circle there is one qualified man, an economist, who is not even noticed much and will never hold high office. Martin Feldstein: He will not be asked to consider this task, and it is a shame, because in 36 years, no one has written a better understanding of American health care economics than he.
