Healthcare Reform: Now Let Me Get This Straight

1.19.10

One of my favorite blogs belongs to Dr. Mark J. Perry. He is a economics & finance professor at the University of Michigan. Recently, he posted a ‘quote of the day’ that gave me a chuckle. I thought I would share:

Now, let me get this straight…..We are going to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn’t read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president that also hasn’t read it and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes…all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that’s nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?
