\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Dr. Drew Pinsky was on Anderson Cooper 222 last night. Anderson Cooper said to Drew Pinsky, “I don\u2019t know all the details of what exactly is covered. It\u2019s an incredibly confusing thing. I spent all day reading about it.” This is about Obamacare. Drew Pinsky talked about the people he treats and deals with and what they think about it.<\/p>\n

PINSKY: There\u2019s really another interesting layer to this that people aren\u2019t talking about. Today, I often spend a lot of my time finding resources for people who don\u2019t have insurance. So today I had three calls. I said, “Good news.” (bangs table) “You can sign up for Obamacare today.” Not interested. Not so interested in spending money. Just want care. To get people that have never done this before used to the idea that, not only they have access, they can get this coverage, they must do this —<\/p>\n

COOPER: Because the people you\u2019re talking to feel that they can fall back on the social safety net —<\/line><\/p>\n

PINSKY: The safety net. <\/p>\n

COOPER: — emergency rooms visits and whatever.<\/p>\n

PINSKY: They\u2019re used to using the safety net, which is unfortunate. We\u2019ve almost acculturated ourselves to this safety net.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s Drew Pinsky, Dr. Drew Pinsky, explaining that the people he deals with say, “What do you mean, pay for it? I\u2019m not going to this website. What the hell? I\u2019ll just do the emergency room if I get sick. I\u2019m not going to any website here. I\u2019ll just fall back on the social safety net. I\u2019ll be taken care of,” and then he finished. He added this…<\/p>\n

PINSKY: There\u2019s hubristic part of this to an which is the idea that people who are uninsured can go online. I can\u2019t get my healthy, educated young males to go online and sign up for any insurance. My uninsured, uneducated, perhaps stricken-resourced population to get on line? That\u2019s hubris to say, “Oh, just go online and sign up!”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Most of his patients… He\u2019s saying that most of his patients don\u2019t know how to do this anyway. “What? You\u2019re asking me to go online and sign up for what? Medical care? Health insurance?” They\u2019re clueless. This is a guy on CNN, and he\u2019s admitting that the people he deals with and treats haven\u2019t the slightest idea of two things. They haven\u2019t slightest idea what\u2019s going on and when they find out, “Well, I\u2019m not doing that. I\u2019ll just rely on the social safety net.” <\/p>\n

Big surprise, huh?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So let me summarize what Dr. Drew Pinsky was saying in his appearance on CNN last night. He says nobody\u2019s gonna want free health care if they have to pay for it. (summary) “What do you mean, sign up on a website? I\u2019m not gonna sign up on a website. Pay for it? I\u2019ll just use the social safety net, that\u2019s what I\u2019ll do.” Now, I don\u2019t even think they use those terms. That\u2019s just his term for whatever they say to him, but it boils down to nobody\u2019s gonna wanna want free health care if they have to pay for it. <\/p>\n

I think he\u2019s being polite. What Pinsky is saying is that Obama\u2019s constituents aren\u2019t gonna be able to figure out how to sign up online. If I translate that correctly, and I usually do understand these things, he\u2019s being polite. He\u2019s saying that Obama\u2019s constituents aren\u2019t gonna be able to figure it out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
