[babylonsister]

So they phoned it in. Can't read it, can't post it, but it's at link. See how connected to the speech this might actually be. iirc, Jindal had a bit of a problem with that. :evilgrin:

5. "...most Americans do not want to turn over the best medical care system in the world..."

Republicans say nation can't afford Dem policies


By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER, Associated Press Writer


WASHINGTON – The nation cannot afford the spending Democrats have enacted or the tax increases they propose, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell said Wednesday in the Republican response to the State of the Union address.

McDonnell, in excerpts of his speech released in advance, said Democratic policies are resulting in an unsustainable level of debt. He said Americans want affordable health care, but they don't want the government to run it.

"Top-down, one-size-fits-all decision-making should not replace the personal choices of free people in a free market, nor undermine the proper role of state and local governments in our system of federalism," McDonnell said.

"All Americans agree, we need a health care system that is affordable, accessible, and high quality," McDonnell said. "But most Americans do not want to turn over the best medical care system in the world to the federal government."

10. I wonder if Medicare recipients would agree?

Here's a notion, the R's should push to take that program away...:evilgrin:

I have yet to comprehend the "bureaucrat" aspect of their argument...after all, some desk jockey at an insurance copy is denying a claim at this moment, just to save the company money. Thew folks at Medicare deny treatment for experimental procedures...but almost everything else medically necessary goes through. Seniors seem pretty darn happy w/the level of care, but the R's don't want a "government plan"...:wtf:

7. They got a copy from O'Keefe.
