Kansas Congresscritter admits not reading the bill before voting
2010-03-24
Milton Wolf @ "Wolf Files"

Dennis Moore, appearing on KMBZ radio Kansas City Morning News with EJ & Ellen, was finally forced to answer one of my questions. Ellen asks:


I was reading this article in the Washington Times by Dr. Milton Wolf who is a Kansas radiologist. You know, I think he actually talked to you and contacted your office. He writes that there's "a scheme in this bill" that "actually penalizes your primary care physician if he is in the top 10 percent of doctors who refer patients to specialists, no matter how valid the reason." That brings up questions of rationing. That brings up questions of quality health care. Is that still in there?

Moore answers:

I don't know. And I will find out. But I don't know if that's in there. This is, as you know, a multi-hundred, several hundred pages of bill, but uh, uh, I'll check with Dr. Wolf directly too and talk to him and find out what, what, what his concern is because I don't know that.

What arrogance or blind ideology compels a man to allow the government takeover of the finest health care delivery system in the world without even reading the bill? . . .

#8  Mike, because it's not about healthcare, never was.

#7  Dennis Moore (Monty Python version): Blimey, this redistribution of wealth is trickier than I thought.

Sounds like Obama

#5  Dennis Moore is retiring after this term. His seat will go to a republican. The Tea Party group in his district is very active since he is considered an embarrasement to an otherwise conservative state.

#4  All he likely knows is 1) Pelosi told him to do it, or else. And 2) Page 158 specifically exempts him, his staff, and their family members from this fiasco.

We are being ruled, not governed.
