Health Care BS

Harry Reid isn’t having a good month. First, his 2008 brayings about Obama came out and now the claim that Lieberman double-crossed him on health reform turns out to be another of Reid’s trademark whoppers.

Reid claims the Connecticut Senator gave him no warning, before going on “Face the Nation,” that he wouldn’t back a bill with a public option. But Lieberman has provided the media with proof that Reid is lying:

Leiberman is pushing back hard — and to make his case, he has provided POLITICO with a private letter he wrote Reid setting out his concerns before he aired them on national TV.

Turns out that Lieberman warned Reid in writing on December 10, three days before the interview, that he objected to the so-called “Medicare buy-in,” which was a watered-down version of the public option:

Regarding the ‘Medicare buy-in’ proposal, the more I learn about it, the less I like it,’ Lieberman writes in the letter, which was marked ‘Personal and Confidential’ and copied to Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Mark Pryor (D-Ark.).

It’s no wonder Reid doesn’t want C-SPAN to record the skulduggery now being commited in the name of health “reform.” That would cramp his ability to lie about what he and his accomplices have done to us.
