RUSH: ‘Health Care, a Lesson in Pain.\u2019 I made this prediction to you yesterday. This is the New York Times. The author here, David Leonhardt. Apparently they\u2019re struggling out there to find $90 billion a year to make Bam\u2019s health care overhaul happen. Despite the fact that the industry bigwigs have promised $2 trillion in cost cuts that will never happen, by the way, over the next ten years, they somehow still need to find $90 billion. ‘Democrats have suggested that they are willing to play hardball and pass a bill without Republican support.\u2019 Good, I hope they do. They don\u2019t need Republican support for this. The worst thing the Republicans could do would be to sign on to nationalized health care, because nationalized health care is not about the money, folks. You have to understand this. Nationalized health care, single payer, government provided, whatever you want to call it, once that happens, then virtually every activity that you engage in can be controlled because they can say it relates to how much health costs the government\u2019s going to have. <\/p>\n

Your kids may not be able to use the swing set anymore, may be too dangerous. You may not be able to buy a TV that hangs on the wall because it might fall on your kid and break his head. I\u2019m not making this up. They were talking about taxing sugars yesterday. If they get national health care, it is the entree to controlling every aspect of your life, because they will be able to say and attach every behavior to some health malady or health risk. So, anyway, ‘Arlen Specter, the senior Pennsylvania senator, became a Democrat, potentially adding one more vote. At the White House on Monday, lobbyists for doctors, insurers and other industry groups pledged to reduce the growth of medical spending. Yet none of these developments has removed the main hurdle to health care reform: the matter of the missing $90 billion. Providing health insurance to the roughly 50 million people without it will cost something like $120 billion a year. President Obama has proposed $60 billion or so in new revenue for this purpose — a ‘down payment,\u2019 his advisers say. But Congress seems set to reject about half of the down payment (a plan to limit high-income families\u2019 tax deductions for charitable giving and other such things). That makes for the $90 billion health care hole.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Even the news yesterday was about $2 trillion in savings over ten years, two trillion in savings, somehow, after ensuring the country that we\u2019re going to save two trillion over ten years, we\u2019re hung up on 90 billion? And no one\u2019s quite sure where to find it. What did I tell you yesterday? What did I say, Snerdley? What did I warn people about yesterday? Hm-hm. Hm-hm. Hm-hm. That\u2019s right. I said they are going to find a way to tax your employer provided health care benefits, and, lo and behold, right here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers: ‘The experts at the round table — liberal and conservative — actually agreed to an impressive degree about the best way to fill the hole. They urged the senators to limit the tax deduction for employer-provided health insurance.\u2019 I told you this yesterday, and it happened while I was predicting it. Now, this is not taxing you. That will come. This is not taxing you on your benefits as income. This is limiting what your employer can deduct as an expense, as it relates to your health care benefits. So that is going to add to the costs of doing business, which is going to eliminate some jobs, and it is going to cause the company, whatever its product or service is, to raise prices. <\/p>\n

Now, this next ‘graph: ‘The deduction may seem a wonderful thing, but it isn\u2019t. It benefits the wealthy more than anyone else. It encourages employers to overspend on health insurance, because $100 in untaxed medical benefits is more valuable to workers than $100 in taxed income. And, as Mr. Baucus said, the deduction has a certain Willie Sutton appeal.\u2019 A Willie Sutton appeal, so they can go steal it! Go to where the money is. Health care benefits. This is this is just the first phase. And then get this: ‘The idea seems to be classic Obama: empirical, pragmatic, bipartisan. Unfortunately, it happens to be an idea that John McCain campaigned on last year and that Mr. Obama, sensing a political opening, blasted as a tax increase. … Mr. Obama\u2019s economic advisers would be happy to see him reverse his position. But his political advisers remember that ad and know it could be used against him.\u2019<\/p>\n

So if they don\u2019t do this, it leaves two ways to pay for an expansion of health insurance: raise taxes or cut health spending, and I guarantee you all three are going to happen. All three are going to happen. They\u2019re gonna limit the deductibility of your business, health benefits provided to you, they\u2019re going to raise taxes, and they\u2019re going to cut health spending. They\u2019ve already said they\u2019re going to do all that by squeezing doctors, squeezing Big Pharmaceutical. ‘So over the short term, tax increases are probably necessary,\u2019 concludes the Times, ‘though they have their own problems. Will the 85 percent of people with health insurance be willing to pay higher taxes for something approaching universal coverage?\u2019 They\u2019re not going to have a choice! There\u2019s no way to stop anything Democrats in Congress want to do other than dispatching them in 2010. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jeannie in Huntington, Long Island. Great to have you. You\u2019re up first today on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Free Republic dittos, Rush. We love you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. I love you, too. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, thank you. Thank you so much for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, ma\u2019am.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But I just want, in regards to the health care, it seems like the administration is trying to make it almost impossible for employers and employees to have private health care, and therefore forcing us on the government teat, and how do we fight against that? If I can\u2019t afford it, how do I keep my private health care?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I know. I don\u2019t know what you can do. Businesses are caving left and right. I don\u2019t care whether the health care business, I don\u2019t care whether the car companies, the banks, they\u2019re caving left and right, out of abject fear.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But I have no fear. What do I do?<\/p>\n

RUSH: In addition to fear, there is — Well, you have no fear. Do you run a business?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. I work for a small business, and we all have that fear —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, the odds are that your business is eager to off-load your health plan to the government.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My boss is not. We talk about this every day.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, good.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He is as afraid as I am.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They are saying that we\u2019re going to be like Spain, that there will be an option for private insurance. But I guarantee you, they may be saying that at certain levels of the Democrat Party, but it\u2019s not what they want. They want the control of single payer national health insurance. I\u2019ll tell you, what you can do about it is 2010. What you can do about it is throw as many Democrats out of Congress as possible. What we can do is overhaul Congress. That\u2019s the first chance we\u2019re going to have to do anything about this is overhaul Congress. That\u2019s what you can do about it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And what do we do in the meantime up until 2010?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You raise hell. You raise hell with people.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So I continue to be the racist tea bagger, quote, unquote, that, you know, I\u2019ve been talked about in the news media, we just continue that. I know we have Memorial Day; we have Independence Day coming up. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second, wait, wait just a second. For those of you in Rio Linda and Port St. Lucie, she\u2019s talking about the Fourth of July. There are a couple governors trying to get these tea parties going again, try to tap into the grassroots on the Fourth of July. But, look, they don\u2019t think of you that way individually, Jeannie. They think of you, they\u2019re typecasting you. They\u2019re stereotyping you because you\u2019re a member of the group. You know, don\u2019t call \u2019em up and say, ‘Hey, I\u2019m a tea bagger and I demand this.\u2019 Well, really don\u2019t say you\u2019re a tea bagger. You can call CNN and say you\u2019re a tea bagger but don\u2019t call your congressman and say you\u2019re a tea bagger. Just don\u2019t even identify — you\u2019re just a citizen. Look, there\u2019s another just absurd story in the Stack of Stuff today in the New York Times. Jeannie, thanks for the phone call. ‘Recession Drains Social Security and Medicare.\u2019 <\/p>\n

What this is all about is that they\u2019ve done some studies, and, lo and behold, Medicare\u2019s broke in, what, seven or eight years, and Social Security a year sooner than they even thought last year, and while these two government programs are the direct responsibility of Obama, he is doing nothing to fix this. He\u2019s worried about the car companies. He\u2019s taking over the private sector while existing government programs are in the process of going bankrupt. Medicare is going to be out of money very, very soon. We\u2019re very close to the point where Medicare expenses will exceed Medicare tax revenue, and yet they want to model national health care on Medicare. They claim they\u2019re going to lower costs. None of this can possibly happen. But they\u2019re saying recession drains Social Security and Medicare. <\/p>\n

Medicare goes bust in eight years, we want to expand government health care programs and model them after Medicare? Geithner in this story says we need to control the growth in expenditures. The dirty little secret is Medicare and Social Security were going broke before the recession. They are trying to say that they were fine. Harry Reid, you know, when Bush back in 2005 was trying to use some political capital to reform Social Security, Harry Reid and other Democrats, ‘There\u2019s nothing wrong with it, Social Security is fine for decades in the future. This war is won. We don\u2019t have to worry about Medicare, Social Security, all fine,\u2019 lying through his teeth as Democrats do. It\u2019s in big trouble, and now they\u2019re trying to, again, absolve themselves of any responsibility by blaming the recession. These programs were doomed long before the recession hit. But here\u2019s the New York Times dutifully going along with the template and the story line demanded by the Obama administration. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
