We had a system where 85% of the nation had insurance, they were covered, and that was deemed unfair by people like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and every other Democrat out there. That wasn't fair. That was not good social justice. That was immoral, because there were 15% who were not covered. So we tore up a system that covered 85% of the nation -- and let's not forget that at the ER, everybody is covered.

By law, everybody is covered, illegals to boot. Everybody's covered at the ER. So we tear up a system, the best system in the world, and in tearing it up we have people like Pelosi joining Obama, promising people, "If you like your doctor, you're gonna have no problem keeping your doctor! If you like your insurance plan, you'll be able to keep it." They were telling us, "Your premiums are gonna come down $2500!"

We had a system that was insuring and taking care of 85% of the nation, but that was unfair, so we tore it apart to cover and be fair to the 15% who weren't covered. This is a classic example of the supposed Big Idea being jammed through without thinking it through, and then incompetently executing it with a cast of amateurs whose only qualification was their good intentions (supposedly).

Their only qualification was they were "good people." That was their only qualification, the only reason we should let them do this, because the normal health care system -- the doctors, the hospitals and nurses, the insurance companies -- they were practically criminals. They were stealing, cheating, lying, the private sector. We couldn't depend on them! No, they were covering 85%, treating, caring for 85% of the country.

But, no, we couldn't trust them. We couldn't rely on them because the private sector, that's where all the greed and the selfishness and the unfairness is. And so the people who said, "We can fix it," their only qualification was their supposedly larger hearts, which permitted them to care more, which permitted them to have more compassion, and which gave great weight to their great intentions.

So what we end up with is like every other such plan where these people in the public sector with no practical, real-life experience in the area they seek to fix, get in there. They're utterly incompetent, with a cast of amateurs not knowing what they're doing, all the while thinking they know more than everybody else. This is the epitome of Big Government thinking they have all the answers, when most of them have never run anything in their lives except a campaign.
