A magnificent quotation in the LA Times about ObamaCare courtesy of a health care provider in California:
Pam Kehaly, president of Anthem Blue Cross in California, said she received a recent letter from a young woman complaining about a 50% rate hike related to the healthcare law.
“She said, ‘I was all for Obamacare until I found out I was paying for it,'” Kehaly said.
At least one American wakes up to the fact that there are no free lunches! Unfortunately, I bet she’d still be all for it if someone else were paying. Reminds me of Senator Russell Long‘s aphorism: ”Don’t tax you, don’t tax me, tax that man behind the tree.”

If you’re paying I’ll have top sirloin.

I suspect no one in my hometown of Boston has so far thanked the rest of the country for paying for The Big Dig project.
When you multiply Ms.Kehaly’s statement by a majority of the voting population is it any wonder that the United States of America is bankrupt.
