The Jaker

Mostly rational politics, with occasional rants about how a few crazy Republicans are ruining the country.

Can we trust them?
So now Bush & Co. are trying to push ownership into healthcare as well.

My initial thought? How can we be expected to trust them? They have clearly shown that their process is: Idealogy first, Plan second. In Iraq they disseminated wrong or exaggerated evidence to justify a war they'd already decided to wage. With Social Security, they decided it had to be changed because Republicans hate government programs, and then set about instilling a sense of impending crisis in the public. Even with Prescription Drugs in Medicare, they took a solid Democratic idea and turned it into a huge payoff for their drug company CEO friends.

Now, with healthcare, can we really expect them to have the people's best interests in mind? Why should we not believe this is simply part of a larger idealogy to create more Republicans, rather than something that will really be better for the average person.

The problem is when you only interact with rich corporate executives you only hear a single side - that the cost to a company of providing health insurance to its employees is rising. So what do they do - they try to relieve their friends of that cost.

I undestand the idea of rationalizing healthcare costs by giving the consumer some of the burden of decision-making. I just don't trust this administration to do it fairly.
