Universal Health Care Mecca …
Is like health-care hell for one universal health care advocate. The premiums in Massachusetts are too high, and the much-lauded universal health care system system … even a relatively conservative one pushed by a Republican, Mitt Romney … is a financial trainwreck that is dragging down the state budget and driving up my taxes. Former Edwards/Clinton/Kerry/Obama speechwriter Wendy Button explains her dilemma, and what appears to be a really bad run of health luck. The career shiller for tax-and-spenders still wants universal health care, but looks at what’s happening in DC today and warns, “Hold on to your wallet.” Politics Daily. It’s the sound of a liberal getting mugged. It’s not her first aha moment, though.

It would take one change, and a simple one at that, to fix her personal situation. Remove the restrictions against selling insurance across state lines, and she’s right back to where she was before she moved. Hey, why don’t we try THAT first, and see where it leads us?

She’s still missing the point when she says that she would take the public option plan if she could. She forgets that Congress is skipping down the candy aisle, loading up the approved plan with ostensible “freebies” that she may or may not want, but absolutely has to pay for.
