Wisconsin Tea Party creation and self-proclaimed Senatorial accounting genius Ron Johnson got to the heart of the matter when he said "free market reforms" would guide Republicans if they ever get around to replacing [Sic] Obamacare.
Ah, yes. The free market, that mythical right-wing construct which, when applied to medical care and insurance will free patient care from oversight and availability.
That same brand of phony free market behavior which Johnson enjoyed to the tune of a federally-subsidized rail line which boosted the value of his plastics company in Oshkosh - - and which also freely transfers government-paid drug development research to proprietary pharmaceutical products, and provides other benefits to corporate entities freed under crony capitalism of public interest regulation and disclosure.
I'm looking forward to Johnson and his party's contorted co-optation of the life-and-death issue of pre-existing conditions to a return to pre-Obamacare care coverage exclusions so that insurers and hospitals and physician practices and nursing home operators believe too onerous to abide.
Because it's more important to create fatter dividends and compensation packages for CEOs who can afford to buy every exotic medical treatment on the planet than it is to help everyday Americans free themselves of diabetes, heart disease, MS and cancer.
