Debating Health Care on Lou Dobbs Tonight

Posted by: Matt Lewis at 11:57 PM

Earlier this evening, I was on a panel discussion for Lou Dobbs Tonight. Having just watched it (I come in about half way through), I think I detect some angry body language from the liberal when I start talking ...

Do they all have 2.2% profits? No you liberal idiot. Some are non-profit. And it is an average. It may even be a median? (AP source?)

"angry body language"
Bill O'Rielly and Yonya Reinman you are not summy-Matt. And this is what you ALWAYS say when your "opponent" shows more passion than you do. "Bland" is not a flavor favored on TV-you might do well do develop some passion of your own.

Notice how...?
The Dems never answered the questions with a direct answer. The first guy was asked to define the difference between the different terms but he answered by talking about one poll from the WaPo. The other guy did the same kinds of things. Liberals can't debate using facts. Again.

Today's WSJ Editorial Says A Lot
The WellPoint Revelation Private insurance premiums could triple under ObamaCare. Washington is captivated by the Senate melodrama over the so-called public option, salivating at the ring of Harry Reid's political bell. But the most important health-care questions continue to be about the policy substance—particularly those that Democrats don't want asked. Foremost among them is: How will ObamaCare affect insurance premiums in the private health-care markets? Despite indignant Democratic denials, the near-certainty is that their plan will cause costs to rise across the board. The latest data on this score come from a series of state-level studies from the insurance company WellPoint Inc. At the request of Congressional delegations worried about their constituents—call it a public service—WellPoint mined its own actuarial data to model ObamaCare in the 14 states where it runs Blue Cross plans. The study therefore takes into account market and demographic differences that other industry studies have not, such as the one from the trade group America's Health Insurance Plans, which looked at aggregate national trends. In all of the 14 states WellPoint scrutinized, ObamaCare would drive up premiums for the small businesses and individuals who are most of WellPoint's customers. (Other big insurers, like Aetna, focus on the market among large businesses.) Young and healthy consumers will see the largest increases—their premiums would more than triple in some states—though average middle-class buyers will pay more too. Not even two hours after Wellpoint had presented its materials on the Hill, Democrats were already trashing it—which, considering that it runs to some 238 pages and took weeks to prepare, must have required remarkable powers of digestion and analysis.

Who is writing this bill?
The administration seems to have abdicated all control of this bill to congressional liberals. I found this video that shows Candidate Obama promising to show health care negotiations on C-SPAN, while President Obama let Harry Reid write the bill behind closed doors. Its pretty telling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmNdV0PSRy4
