Tri-Corner Hatted Douchebags Will Say Anything To Kill Health Care

A Democratic Senate aide seems skeptical about the chances of a bipartisan approach to health care reform: “Imagine we introduce a bill that says health insurance companies can’t discriminate based on pre-existing conditions. All that would happen is the insurance industry would pay some firm to do a study that concludes that would cause insurance companies to go out of business, and some GOP senator will go to the floor and say ‘See? This is all about forcing single payer.’ Throw in some douchebag on TV with a tri-cornered hat and a chalkboard, and you have a unified GOP caucus against any bill that remotely attempts to deal with the health care issue.”
