Jeb- Told you he was going to be fun!


Posted: May 15, 2015

and he stands a very good chance of being the Republican candidate! In Tempe, the Republican presidential hopeful told an audience that he wants to “repeal Obamacare” and replace it with some kind of “consumer-driven” system – a popular phrase among GOP politicians, which no doubt polled well in focus groups. Bush then explained his vision for his new Apple Watch fits into his health care vision: “On this device in five years will be applications that will allow me to manage my health care in ways that five years ago were not even possible. I’ll have the ability, someone will, you know, because of my blood sugar, there’ll be a wireless, there’ll be, someone will send me a signal. It’ll come here, I’ll get a double beep saying, ‘You just ate a butterscotch sundae’ or something like that. ‘You went way over the top. You’re a diabetic, you can’t do that,’ whatever. “We’ll be able to guide our own health care decisions in a way that will make us healthy. And ultimately, we have to get to a health system, away from a disease system.” [Update: msnbc’s facebook page posted the video of the former governor’s comments.] http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/jeb-bush-sees-apple-watch-part-anti-obamacare-plan;

Yes, Jeb, because unchecked free-market-driven healthcare worked so well before - JS

If that were true, Congress wouldn't have voted in Obamacare in the first place.

(Granted, there were things on the back end of Obamacare we didn't know when our congress did vote for it.)

"Consumer-driven" is just PR/PC codespeak of "free-market-driven only".

And healthcare and pharmaceutical costs were already out of control, Obamacare was "supposed" to be a government-supported, but consumer-driven/choice-making plan to balance it, but it failed.

I say it would be even more expensive to repeal Obamacare than it was to enact it. Work on fixing what's broken.

As for the Apple watch bit, at least this is clear evidence that politicians really are just salesmen for corporations now ;)

If Someone Would Have Told Me...Sep 09, 2015
How one administration could do so much damage in the world in such a short span of time, I would not have believed it. If there is anyone out there now who doesn't believe that the US has a role in shaping and maintaining the world order, they are hiding their head in the sand. I hope that the next president of the United States understands our role in the world and with God's help can restore some sanity to the world... ...

TOLD YA! We're In A DEPRESSIONAug 24, 2010
This has been obvious for MONTHS, but now finally the "dirty word" has been uttered in mainstream media.

The dead giveaway is the MONEY SUPPLY, and if you follow economics then you know that the M3 data have not been reported by our wonderful "fed" (actually a private corporation) since 2006.  M3 is MONEY SUPPLY.  Ask yourself WHY they would start withholding this crucia ...

7 Stories Obama Doesn't Want ToldNov 30, 2009
John F. Harris John F. Harris – Mon Nov 30, 5:45 am ET Presidential politics is about storytelling. Presented with a vivid storyline, voters naturally tend to fit every new event or piece of information into a picture that is already neatly framed in their minds. No one understands this better than Barack Obama and his team, who won the 2008 election in part because they were better storytellers than the opposition. The pro-Obama narrative featured an almost mysti ...
