Republican “Health Care”: 10 Deceptions - and a Free-Market “Death Panel” There’s a new “Medicare” proposal - sorta. It’s really the same old bait-and-switch we’ve seen a dozen times. Still, you gotta hand it to ‘em: Republican Senators Tom Coburn and Richard Burr have taken the usual right-wing think-tank-designed buzzwords, deceptive packaging, and sleights of hand, and have taken them to new heights. These foundation-forged assaults on the middle class may be old, battered ideas that have been debunked a dozen times, but still they just won’t die. Like the old Terminators, they keep coming back with the same mission: Must. Kill. Medicare. Coburn and Burr don’t even pretend to show how their anti-Medicare plan - excuse me, “choice” plan - will save money. They just say this: We do not yet have a concrete, specific amount of “savings” outlined, but we believe our proposal could save between $200 billion and $500 billion over a decade. Well, I do not yet have a concrete, specific schedule, but I believe that “monkeys” will fly out of my butt any moment now, and that there will be somewhere between two hundred and eight hundred of these aeronautical primates by the time the process concludes.
