That urologist who posted a sign in his office telling Obama voters to go away? Seems he'd be a perfect negative commenter here. Turns out he doesn't know what he's talking about. Angry as hell, all right. And perfectly uninformed:
The urologist specifically argued that officials, in light of the new law, are "cutting all supportive care, like nursing homes, ambulance services."
Colmes: What do you mean they're cutting nursing homes?
Cassell: They're cutting nursing home reimbursements.
Colmes: Isn't what they're cutting under the Medicare plan what was really double dipping; they were getting credits and they were getting to deduct them at the same time.
Cassell: Well you know, I can't tell you exactly what the deal is. [emphasis added]
Colmes: If you can't tell us exactly what the deal is, why are you opposing it and fighting against it?
Cassell: What I get online, just like any other American. What I'm supposed to understand about the bill should be available to me.
Colmes: It is; it's been online for a long time; it's also been all over the media.....
...For the record, Cassell's rhetoric about "cutting nursing homes" notwithstanding, the National Association of Home Care and Hospice praised the Democratic plan.
Yep. He'd fit right in.
The doctor backed off his position somewhat for ABC Radio News broadcast heard Saturday early PM on KPOJ-AM 620 in Portland, Oregon.
ReplyDeleteHe said he only wanted to notify any and all of his patients that he did not support Barack Obama. He said he thought his patients should know about his political leanings.
Would you say the surgeon waffled?

Oh Gee Ellen, he was heard on KPOJ-AM 620?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Must have been heard by a whole 2 or 3 people depending on whether you count yourself...
