When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets away
Until they whip itDevo – Whip It
Gee, no hint of coordinated whipping from the left on this, is there. The JournoList strikes again with horrifying, hideous, nearly identical hysterical whipping of the meme that – gasp – Obama care might be in trouble.
What’s the latest assessment from those closely monitoring health care reform? Prognosis negative.
“Health reform is, I think it fair to say, in danger right now,” wrote Ezra Klein this morning at the Washington Post.
“Attention fellow liberals who want health care reform,” wrote Jonathan Cohn yesterday at the New Republic. “You are in danger of losing the fight for universal health insurance. And it’s not only – or even primarily – because of the public plan.”
“Anyone else think the net result of health reform is going to be that insurance companies have even more political power?,” twittered Atrios this afternoon.
What’s got the pro-reform contingent worried?
“It’s because of the money,” writes Cohn.
Yes, it actually is about the money. As in “It costs too much”. Not as in, “We want even more,” as the Klein meme is pushing. Klein is the proud papa of the coordinating emporium of the JournoList, let us not forget that.
I have been all over the Obama care scheme because of the brutal cost, the brutal loss of insurance by people who work for their coverage and the brutal taxation that will be required to pay for a plan that actually strips insurance coverage away from working stiffs who have played by the rules. Not as an attempt to whip up hysteria and fear to get this abomination passed.
