In my view, once you read this account of the back-channel negotiations underway among Democratic leaders and special interests to pass ObamaCare against the manifest will of the American people, you know pretty much all you need to know about the extremists involved. A revealing quote:
“In a 24-hour news cycle, with the Internet and bloggers and cable
news, sometimes a lot more can be accomplished, especially with
healthcare, when it happens behind closed doors,” said Drew Altman, a
healthcare policy expert who heads the nonprofit Henry J. Kaiser Family
Foundation.
Just imagine if any Right-leaning foundation president had similarly argued that major legislation ought to be fashioned in secret and enacted through parliamentary tricks, in order not to alert any pesky ?bloggers and cable news.? The political class would have (properly) erupted in anger.
As should you.
