Politico:
Dems look to debt for 'doc fix'
When President Barack Obama promised that health care reform would be fully paid for, many wondered how Democrats would fund a key provision whose cost is almost a third of the reform�s $900 billion price tag: protecting doctors from annual cuts to their Medicare reimbursement rates.
The Senate�s answer? Leave it out of the health care bill, rename it a �budgetary problem� and fix it separately � but without paying for it � by lumping it into the national debt. Voil�, promise kept.
Good Lord -- these idiots need to be kicked out of office. It's all spend spend spend with zero consideration of who is going to pay for all of their poor planning. These are people who are so out of touch with their constituency that they have no concept of what it means to work for a living...
