Just Last Week, Medicare Was "Efficient"!

Gee. Weren't we told that Medicare is FAR MORE EFFICIENT than the greeeeeeeeeeeeeeedy health-insurance companies?

Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, the No. 3 Senate Democrat, said: “We are very willing to entertain savings in Medicare. Medicare gives very good health care very inefficiently.

Worth remembering:

Obama and the Democrats already swiped $500 billion from Medicare, and their non-plan plans for reducing spending call for cutting a trillion plus more. And they repeat that here, looking to cut "waste" and such from Medicare, but to the tune of hundreds of billions

Perhaps Schumer found the magic pixie-dust reservoir.

No telling what they're saying to calm you down at the advanced state of your psychosis.

"Worth remembering:

Yes, at the behest of rightwing reactionaries who vowed not to cooperate on ANYTHING if their inflexible demands were not met. But then again, that goes back to the sweet nothings the nurses are whispering in your ear. Go to sleeeeep...
