Elitist Bastards

Republican Senator John Barrasso was asked the perfect question at yesterday’s health care summit…

Obama:  “Would you be satisfied if every member of Congress just had catastrophic care–you think we’d be better health care purchasers? I mean, is that a change you think we should make?”

Barrasso:  “I think actually we would. We’d really focus on it. We’d have more, as you say, skin in the game. And especially if they had a savings account–a health savings account–they could put their money into that, and they’d be spending the money out of that.”

Obama:  “Would you feel the same way if you were making $40,000. Or if that was your income. Because that’s the reality for a lot of folks.”

Exactly. It is one thing to state that the U.S. has the best health care system in the world or to claim that the only way to fix health care is to do it incrementally, all the while knowing that your millions could buy you anything you wanted in terms of health care. It is quite another to say the same if you’re struggling to cover your insurance premiums or worse, had no insurance.

Elitist bastards.
