Dr. Howard Dean Makes Our Case for Blowing Up the Health Care Bill

Dr. Howard Dean Makes Our Case for Blowing Up the Health Care Bill: " RUSH: Well, imagine that, folks, Howard Dean is actually making our case for just blowing up the health care bill. That's coming up in mere moments, and also Susan Collins, who I focused on yesterday and asked, "What's a nice way to call somebody ignorant?' Susan Collins now says the health bill is too deeply flawed for her to support it. Byron York has it, and it's interesting. The health care bill will be a primary focus of the program today as it requires it be. Rush Limbaugh here at 800-282-2882. And the e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com.

One of the things that really has the left upset about the health care bill, there are two things in it, well, three, but nobody is focusing much on the third. The first is the public option coming up. The left doesn't like that. The Medicare buy-in or Medicare expansion, that's come out, supposedly. The left doesn't like that. And they really don't like that because they think Obama has crawled into bed with Big Insurance. Remember, now, the left hates companies, they hate corporations, and they really hate the fact that Lieberman is seeming to be the guy who's getting everything he wants here.

But there is a third reason, ladies and gentlemen, that the left is fit to be tied. And that is the Dorgan amendment. The Dorgan amendment would have allowed the reimportation of drugs from Canada at a much cheaper price. That amendment went down in flames. And so the whole concept of drug reimportation, which Obama -- and we have it on tape -- which Obama supported, a number of other Democrats supported, now it's gone. And you take this over to the House, and there's no way the House can reconcile any of this. But you have the public option supposedly gone, you have the Medicare expansion supposedly gone, and now you've got the continuing of expensive drugs -- that's how the left is looking at it -- with American corporations who are hated by the left benefiting, and they think they've been sold out. They think they have been sold out."
