Dick Armey: "The Largest Problem We Have In Health Care Is Too Many People Are Overinsured"

Straight out of the I Shit You Not File, here's Dick Armey in the upcoming New York Times magazine:

What about the millions of Americans, I asked, who have insurance but find that the rising premiums and deductibles are eating away at any financial gains they might otherwise make? "The largest empirical problem we have in health care today is too many people are too overinsured," he said.

That's right - the face of the Tea Party "movement" is on record now saying that the major problem in the American health care system is that too many people have too much health insurance.

I shit you not.

1. Conservative Idiot of the YEAR in my book.

Never has a politician been so appropriately named. The stupidity is astonishing.

[Hepburn]

3. Change year to century, OK?

[HughBeaumont]

5. Century? Sorry, but Dick Armey will have to go leaps and bounds to top The King:

We're talking eating babies in public or starting a nuclear war. :rofl:

[YOY]

2. Dick Armey: Living in a motherfucking bubble.

All these assholes who lead them are.

It's the rubes that follow them I just will never truly understand as anything more than fools.

4. Wow.

Just when you think they can't blow your mind any more than they already have.

7. It's like they just find new ways to top themselves in dickish comments.

"What low can we hit today? To the jackhammers!"

:)

6. I always had a lot of disrespect and even anger toward Mr. Armey -

and he keeps proving me right.

He ranks as one of the Really Huge Shits in American Politics, right up there with Newt and Trent Lott and Rick Santorum.
What kind of person votes for these people?

11. Then he should lead by example and drop his insurance, right? n/t

[Angry Dragon]

13. The tea-baggers are afraid of losing some insurance

I thought one of the biggest fears they had was losing part of their insurance. What he is telling his people that they do not have to fear losing any part of their insurance because they are over insured already. So they really have some to give up

Put your money where your mouth is, Dick.
