Paul Krugman lays out the latest GOP lie on health care.
Eventually. Of course, if you don’t read it you’ll eventually die, too.
So, would it make sense to consider the fact of your eventual mortality a cost of reading this blog post? Everyone who thinks so, raise your hands.
And yet, Republicans are applying exactly the same logic to health care reform. They’re insisting that the cost of the “doc fix” — the routine increases in Medicare fees that are necessary to avoid making it impossible to get doctors to cover patients — should be counted as part of the cost of the Affordable Care Act. That’s even though the doc fix would have been equally necessary if the Act had never passed.
And yes, we’ve been through this many times. Another day, another zombie lie attacks our brains.
