GOP frosh: Where's my health care?

A conservative Maryland physician elected to Congress on an anti-Obamacare platform surprised fellow freshmen at a Monday orientation session by demanding to know why his government-subsidized health care plan from the government takes a month to kick in.

Republican Andy Harris, an anesthesiologist who defeated freshman Democrat Frank Kratovil on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, reacted incredulously when informed that federal law mandated that his government-subsidized health care policy would take effect on Feb. 1 – 28 days after his Jan. 3rd swearing-in.

“He stood up and asked the two ladies who were answering questions why it had to take so long, what he would do without 28 days of health care,” said a congressional staffer who saw the exchange. The benefits session, held behind closed doors, drew about 250 freshman members, staffers and family members to the Capitol Visitors Center auditorium late Monday morning,”.

“Harris then asked if he could purchase insurance from the government to cover the gap,” added the aide, who was struck by the similarity to Harris’s request and the public option he denounced as a gateway to socialized medicine.

3. They are all hypocrites. Anyone is who has been fooled by psychopaths or is one.

4. And he'll always vote against it for others.

No shame. No limits to self-serving hypocrisy and greed.

5. What a HYPOCRITE!

This should be all over the news.

Of course, it probably won't be.

14. It's an genuinely ROYAL mind-set.

7. Harris hammered Kratovil on health care throughout a bitter fall campaign

"Harris hammered Kratovil on health care throughout a bitter fall campaign, despite the fact that the conservative Democrat voted twice against the reform package backed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), a close Kratovil ally."

8. Here's an interesting tidbit:

"Nix said Harris, who is the father of five, wasn’t being hypocritical – he was just pointing out the inefficiency of government-run health care."

I hate to break it to Harris, but private insurance usually takes way longer than 28 days to kick in. Then there are the millions of Americans who have no chance right now of ANY insurance kicking in.

So, yes Rep. Harris you are being hypocritical. The man is a complete ass.

9. The rw has a great internet spam operation going on and we have

all gotten their letters and articles. Shouldn't we send this one around like that? Balk postings?

10. Is it wrong for me to want to take a sock, and fill it full of old batteries, then...

...beat people like this mercilessly?

That would include that Seattle home stealer and ever other human vulture.

Is it wrong and better yet is it wrong to NOT want to do that to human scum?

[polichick]

11. A vid of this would be great in a campaign ad about Republican hypocrisy...

I've noticed that corps with front-groups are still running issue ads - we should run lefty "public service announcements."

Classic!!
