That to Fox, any editorial view that doesn't favor conservatism is elitist, but favoring conservatism is justified because it needs to be protected against liberal biases. And if you question this logic, it only proves how right they are.

Quite apart from the specific benefit provisions in the law is the issue of cost. The Dems used every trick in the book to disguise the true cost of this new entitlement. For instance they projected a $500 billion saving from Medicare and Medicaid from eliminating fraud and abuse of those programs and used the "savings" thus achieved to pay for Obamacare. Who really believes that Medicare and Medicaid plan administrators will actully find $500 billion worth of fraud and abuse in their programs? It's pure fiction. And the law is replete with these gimmicks. The true cost of this turkey will only be known after Obama leaves office--assuming he wins a second term. By then we'll be stuck and well-headed to a Greece-like sovereign default.

Sure I can.

The full text of the law is provided, as you already know. That's not the problem. The problem is that American's won't take the time to read it....government knows that....so it supplements the law with a Question & Answer section. As I said in my earlier post, there will be in no way, shape, or form anything that reflects negatively on the law in those Q&A's. When you allow the government to filter what questions will be asked and answered, you've allowed it to be biased.

I'm glad you trust your government to be forthcoming and all-knowing. I don't.
