Gah! The double-talk!

Category: news

So out of one side of their mouths, healthcare “reform” advocates bemoan the fact that health care is a limited resource. They cry because everybody can’t get all the health care they need, whenever they want it, regardless of whether or not they can pay for it.

But then White House spokesman Robert Gibbs came out with this gem, calling some insurance plans “far too generous”:
“The best way to bend that cost curve is to go after and work on eliminating excessive Cadillac plans that people at Goldman Sachs and big bankers might get,” he said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “That’s what the focus will be in this. I think the president believes that we can work out a solution.”So which is it? Everybody should get all the health care they want, or some people get too much and THAT has to stop? (Never mind the irony of the fact that so many of those who get so-called “Cadillac” plans are union workers in high-risk jobs, whom Democrats usually tiptoe around, unlike the “big bankers” they love to hate.)
