Pelosi: Health Plan Needs Government Run Option

Nancy Pelosi and the democrats have obviously never met anyone on Medicare, or from Europe for that matter.

March 26 (Bloomberg) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House this year will consider health-care legislation including an option for a government-run program that would compete with insurers.

“This is a big agenda, and I believe it should have a public option in it for it to be really substantial,” Pelosi told reporters at her weekly news conference in the U.S. Capitol.

President Barack Obama has said he wants Congress to produce legislation that would expand health-care coverage for the country’s 46 million uninsured and reduce medical costs. Republicans and some insurers have opposed the creation of a new program modeled on Medicare as part of the effort. The top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa, last week called the idea a “deal-breaker.”

Rep. Tom Price had a few good questions about government run health care. The subject was the incompetence at the Department of Labor. Price asked why we would want these same incompetent bureaucrats running our health care system. Good question.
