Roskam: Etch a Sketchy Bill

LA Times quotes Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL), who has a gift for a descriptive turn of phrase.

P.S. Rep. John Shadegg--the president's current bill does NOT allow for true interstate competition--we need it across all 50 states. Also here.

P.S. As you have noticed, this is a great blog on healthcare, by the way. And a recap on the stellar Paul Ryan: Ducking and Dodging. The Democrats can’t explain away the gimmicks in their health bill:
Neither Obama nor Becerra — nor any other Democrat — addressed the issue of double-counting. And the only response to Ryan’s point about the Doc Fix was a rather oblique statement by Obama that “if what you’re saying is that we can’t make hard decisions on entitlements, then we’re in big trouble.” In fact, that’s exactly what conservatives have been saying: Not only can’t the political class make hard decisions on entitlements, the Democrats are trying to create a new entitlement and hide its cost. And if they succeed, we are in very big trouble.
