Cuccinelli talks about health care reform

Here’s a dispatch from Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli—who this week is fending off charges from Democrats that comments he made during the campaign call into question whether he believes President Barack Obama was born in the United States.

Cuccinelli, who said he “absolutely” believes that Obama was born here, has penned an op-ed on health care. 

In March’s edition of The American Spectator, Cuccinelli writes about efforts to overhaul the health care system. He said under reformed health care, the federal government would insert itself into every aspect of a person’s life.

“With the government involved from cradle to grave and at every step along the way, proponents of health care reform would turn the citizen into a mere ward of the state. With the citizen-child now reliant on the government-parent for all aspects of his well-being, the citizen has forever ceded his liberty to the wishes and whims of the federal government.

Regardless of how well intentioned the governmental effort, this enormous loss of liberty is antithetical to America’s founding principles.”


geez. this guy is really paranoid!  who voted for this clown?

Cuccinelli’s comments are more conservative nonsense. The Federal govt. has long been heavily involved in health care through Medicare and Medicaid—I think about two-thirds of all health-care expenditures are by the government. Does he want to get rid of those bedrock programs? Let’s see: it’s bad for the government to be involved in health care, but fine for Americans to get abused by private insurance companies? Please. As for Americans “ceding their liberty” to the government, that’s just more over-the-top blather from a man who shouldn’t be taken seriously.
