| Kos tells his Kidz to "Kill" Obamacare |
| 2009-12-17 |
| Robert Costa, "Doctor! Doctor!" @ National Review Markos Moulitsas, the founder of Daily Kos, one of the Left's leading blogs, is fuming. For months, he has been leading the charge on Obamacare, drumming up support amongst Democrats while keeping the Left's many camps united behind one goal: passing a health-care bill. Now, with Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) caving to one senator after another, Moulitsas sees his cause being destroyed by his own side. And he's fighting back. In a post on his website, Moulitsas writes that if Reid's bill is gutted of a public option, but still includes an individual mandate, then it should be "killed."... I think it should be killed no matter what, but when you're right for the wrong reasons you're still right. Kos' kommentary includes this fun little economics lesson: "Doing research on Massachusetts premiums," he writes. "Any claim that mandates control costs is disproved in the Bay State." He adds: "Mass mandate penalty is hefty -- 50% of least costly available plan . . . deductibles have already risen 9.4 percent since passage of the reform . . . I've only written it 2,000 times. Kill mandate." |
