The best ideas on the ACA, /aka Obamacare

PEORIA -- There's so much talk, propaganda and lies about Obamacare that it's a relief to find the definitive column, in the New York Times, by film maker Michael Moore.

Here it is.

And here's the relevant paragraph, concerning what we should do next:

"In blue states, let’s lobby for a public option on the insurance exchange — a health plan run by the state government, rather than a private insurer. In Massachusetts, State Senator James B. Eldridge is trying to pass a law that would set one up. Some counties in California are also trying it. Montana came up with another creative solution. Gov. Brian Schweitzer, a Democrat who just completed two terms, set up several health clinics to treat state workers, with no co-pays and no deductibles. The doctors there are salaried employees of the state of Montana; their only goal is their patients’ health. (If this sounds too much like big government to you, you might like to know that Google, Cisco and Pepsi do exactly the same.)

All eyes are on Vermont’s plan for a single-payer system, starting in 2017. If it flies, it will change everything, with many states sure to follow suit by setting up their own versions."

How about it, DINOs in the blue state of Illinois.  Do something to justify your pay and position. Stop pension theft to give state tax money to corporations and just do this.

I would be tickled pink if Illinois adapted single payer. But don;t worry, the lard-assed corporate Democrats that run Springfield would never go for it.

Lies that start with "if you like..."??? LOL
