Wonderboy's Big Healthcare Lie In The State of the Union Address

I couldn't bear to watch the lengthy whining that promised to be Wonderboy's State of the Union address last night.

However, I saw salient passages on the various news programs. And the one that really struck me as the baldfaced lie our First Rookie told when he claimed to be open to ideas about health care reform.

I don't have the exact quote, but he essentially said,

'If anyone has an idea to improve the quality of health care and reduce its cost, I want to hear it!'

Of course, this is a total lie.

The Congressional Republicans put forth alternative plans and amendments addressing the following aspects of health care reform:

1. Tort reform.
2. Interstate marketing of health insurance
3. Uniform pre- or after-tax treatment of health insurance premiums
4. Removal of mandates so that each buyer may purchase exactly what health insurance fits their needs.
5. Health savings accounts.
6. Federally-provided vouchers to the poor to buy health insurance, including, if necessary, for those with pre-existing conditions, federally-supplied health insurance of last resort.

Congressional Democrats ignored all of these ideas. So did Wonderboy.

Even last night, he continued to lie through his teeth, claiming to be open to all ideas which would improve US health care.

Looks like three more years of the same from this president. A lot of self-impressing rhetoric composed mostly of lies.
