Get ready for some more Change* (i.e. Clinton III)
http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2008/11/19/tom-daschles-big-idea-a-fed-for-health-care/
His basic idea: Create a board modeled on the Federal Reserve to “offer a public framework within which a private health-care system can operate more effectively and efficiently — insulated from political pressure yet accountable to elected officials and the American people.”
Talk about the worst idea ever. Fucking accountable, sure, what a fucking joke, just like the Federal Reserve is held accountable during the dog on pony shoes Bernanke puts on in front of the committee.
Big Pharma wants its own version of the unaccountable bankster honey pot called the Federal Reserve. The Fed is doing so well driving the US economy into the ground that Daschle wants to apply it to health care. Which basically means he wants to turn over healthcare decisions to big pharma and provide "accountability", i.e. some bullshit oversight/worship services. His big plan is to model a Federal Health Board after the same federal reserve that bails out banksters and recently refused to disclose who it gave two trillion in tax dollars to (among it's various lesser moral hazards and crimes). Countdown to disaster.
How predictable. I knew Daschle would be tapped as soon as he came out with his stupid book about making a "Federal Reserve for Healthcare". The alarm bells were ringing when he first mentioned his retarded proposal while pimping his shitty book about it on "The Daily Show".
What a fucking huckster.
