Howard Dean “Republicans are right”

Dr Dean gets much of it right about ObamaCare and how important it is at this point to kill it and get something that actually controls costs. He’s right that Vermont tried to reform Health Care as he says, with disastrous consequences. Unfortunately, capping premium costs at the 20% range is meaningless because Insurance companies will simply double or triple normal rates to make up the differences. That means the healthy will pay for the sick and pay far more in the long run. Not much reform there.

He’s right that its a massive bailout or giveaway. To the unions, trial lawyers and insurance co-ops like the AMA. Insurance companies will still tend to make their profits from the INVESTMENT of insurance payments, as they always have.  Its just interesting to note how the Bernie Sanders wing of the party is beginning to give up on this foul scheme.
