The House Democratic Leader explains, “The president is just saying, ‘Stop the world.’ He wants to get off, because he doesn’t know how to deal.”
By Nancy Pelosi; THINK:
What the president is doing, it’s violent. His actions are violent. He does violence to what we want to do in health care. He does violence to the national debt by what he is adding to it. He does violence to the world, in terms of nuclear proliferation and the environment and our standing in the world, with his frivolity. What we want him to do is to calm down, get used to the job he has, know that his words weigh a ton, and that he really should know what he’s talking about when he says something.
For instance, I don’t think that the president or the people around him know that much about health insurance, so he went down the wrong path. The bigger the pool of people buying insurance, the cheaper the premiums are, and the healthier the pool is economically. What he’s doing is dividing the pool so that some people will end up paying much more. He’s going to make it very hard for people to be able to afford insurance if they have a pre-existing medical condition. The American Cancer Society put out a statement after his executive order; he’s really dangerous to people with cancer.
