Mediscare might be accurate
It is bloody obvious that the administration would like to cut health care costs down. Their announcement to cut back on outreach for Veteran’s Affairs Hospitals made that very clear.
However, this story from the NY Times (via Conason) is amazing. The administration must be counting on the war to distract people because this isn’t just grabbing the third rail, it is jumping on it and hugging it. Especially, when your brother is in a tough fight where seniors are the swing voters.
Democrats don’t need much help with running a Mediscare campaign. The above makes one question whether it is even an attempt to scare recipients or an accurate description of the administration’s plan.
