Anthony Weiner: TeaBagger (KingShamus)

It's just wonderful that even a thumb sucking lib like Congressman Weiner can admit he thinks BarryMed stinks on ice.  Go ahead, homie.  Chug down that sweet refreshing Haterade.

Rep. Anthony Weiner said Wednesday he was looking into how a health law waiver might work for New York City.

Weiner, who is likely to run for mayor of New York, said that because of the city’s special health care infrastructure, his office was looking into alternatives that might make more sense. Weiner is one of the health care law’s biggest supporters; during the debate leading up to reform, he was one of the last holdouts in Congress for the public option.

Why is this happening, Weiner?

“The president said, ‘If you have better ideas that can accomplish the same thing, go for it,’” said Weiner. “I’m in the process now of trying to see if we can take [President Barack Obama] up on it in the city of New York, … and I’m taking a look at all of the money we spend in Medicaid and Medicare and maybe New York City can come up with a better plan.”

Here's a plan for Weiner and the rest of the Democrats:  How about we scrap the entire thing and call it a wash?  Y'all can make lame sorority girl-style excuses for why you voted for ObamaCare--"I was really drunk," "My ride took off without me," "He said we were cool"--and we'll completely understand.  I swear, everybody on the Right will stop laughing at you after a couple of weeks.  A month, tops.    

It's neat how the people who screamed the loudest about passing this monstrosity--the unions, the media and the progosphere sycophants--are the ones who most desperately want a note from Papa Barry to get out of ObamaCare. What's even better is that the Republicans in Congress are still dawdling along wondering if they should completely defund ObamaCare. 

Ummm, here's a clue.  If everybody--even Anthony "Brainless Knee-Jerk Statist" Weiner, for God's sake--is begging the government trying to get out of nationalized medicine, that means it's a dog's lunch that can be scrapped with little political risk.

When did Bloomberg say he was going to give NYC back to its citizens?

Or has Weiner got a billion of his own laying around?

Here's something I did NOT know, but just read at americanthinker.com: In order to be able to collect Social Security retirement, you must be enrolled in Medicare. Apparently this restriction was put in place during the Clinton administration. So you pay for Medicare and Social Security all of your working life, but if you don't want to participate in Medicare you are denied your Social Security savings as well. How did this happen??? Where was the AARP? I don't know any senior citizens who were not forced into Medicare by necessity (because it is more "affordable" than private insurance) ... but I wonder how many of them were aware of this little catch? More and more, I read about health care providers who don't want to take Medicare patients because of low reimbursement. If a person opts into Medicare, but later wants out, he will lose more than just his health insurance.
