AS I WAS SAYING... It seems that even people in faraway California are following the implementation of our little, um, eugenics program for the poor and dispossessed:
Walker's numbers are inflated because poor people near the poverty line won't be able to afford private health insurance that requires individuals to pay for annual deductibles and other cost-sharing expenses, Bob Laszewski, a Washington-based insurance industry consultant, told The Associated Press after reviewing the Republican governor's plan.
"To me this is crazy policy," said Laszewski, president of Health Policy and Strategy Associates and a frequent critic of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
"These exchange plans were never designed for Medicaid-eligible people. They're designed for middle-class people who can afford deductibles and co-pays," he said.
Well, God bless you for caring, Mr. Laszewski... but that was the plan all along. You can't just come right out and kill 'em.
Yet.
