I Fucking Hate Joe Lieberman (Health Care Reform Edition)

As if Joe Lieberman wasn’t bad enough already, now he’s going out of his way to oppose health care reform. But wait, he sure had different views during the 2006 senatorial campaign:

July 6, 2006 [Via Lieberman pledged support for universal health insurance in 2006 campaign :

What Iā€™m saying to the people of Connecticut, I can do more for you and your families to get something done to make health care affordable, to get universal health insurance.

October 23, 2006:

Iā€™ve been working on health insurance reform for more than a dozen yearsā€¦ I have offered a comprehensive program. Small business health insurance reform, plus something I call MediKids to cover all the children in America on a sliding fee basis up until the age of 25.

MediChoice to allow anybody in our country to buy into a national insurance pool like the health insurance pool that we federal employees and Members of Congress have. Medical malpractice reform.

It will cover 95% of those who are not covered now, and it will reduce the pressure on rising costs for all the millions of others.

In conclusion, Joe Lieberman is a soulless asshole who got bought out by the insurance industry.

Republican Plan Is To Die, But Quicker This Time

Alan Grayson unveiled the Republican plan on Tuesday as: ā€œ1. Donā€™t get sick. 2. If you do get sickā€¦ 3. Die quickly”. After being condemned by the Republicans, he issue his ‘apology’ on Wednesday:

“Last night, I gave a speech and Iā€™m not going to recount everything I said but after that speech, several Republicans asked me to apologize. I would like to apologize.

I would like to apologize and here’s why. According to this study, health insurance and mortality in adults which was published two weeks, 44,000 Americans die every year because they have no health insurance. 44,789 Americans die every year according to the Harvard study and you can see it by going to our website at grayson.house.gov.

That is 10 times more than the number of Americans who have died in Iraq and who died in 9/11. But that was just once. This is every single year. That’s right. Every single year.”
