• If your goal was to come up with a plan for finan­cial ruin, you couldn’t come up with a better idea than cutting a program by $500 billion and simul­ta­ne­ously expand­ing the number of people it is required to cover.
• Senate Minor­ity Leader Mitch McConnell • Making another one of his snippy comments about the health care bill. It’s too bad he’s saying it about a poten­tial break­through for the bill in the Senate. The latest idea being bandied about: Allow lower-income people as young as 55 to bask in the glory that is Medicare. Now, McConnell does have a point about this – they’re cutting Medicare AND adding people to it – but then again, it’s not like this jerk has actually come up with a solution besides “complain more and stonewall any reason­able progress.” Do more than that and we’ll give you credit. source
