McCaughey Uses The GOP Budget To Attack The Health Care Law
As the health care law's number one enemy, Betsy McCaughey is up to her usual attacks on the Affordable Care Act, this time in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. While she avoids endorsing the GOP budget, she uses her special brand of convoluted logic to proclaim that since the health care law already destroyed Medicare, people should therefore support the GOP budget because it saves Medicare for future retirees. She falsely claims private insurance will lower long term health care costs better than Medicare. And she distorts the role of the Independent Payment Advisory Board in the health care law, calling it a "rationing panel." Overall it's a tired attack on the Affordable Care Act and weak defense of the Republican budget.
