Obama Urges Quick Action on Health Overhaul

From the NYTimes:

WASHINGTON — President Obama said Saturday that Americans would see immediate benefits from a landmark overhaul of the nation’s health insurance system, and he urged Congress to reconcile swiftly differences on the legislation so it could be signed into law in the coming weeks.

“Once I sign health insurance reform into law, doctors and patients will have more control over their health care decisions, and insurance company bureaucrats will have less,” Mr. Obama said. “All told, these changes represent the most sweeping reforms and toughest restrictions on insurance companies that this country has ever known.”

Bullshit.

Of course he wants quick action on health care. He wants to ram this through before we know what happened. Just like the stimulus and TARP and any number of things. There's an old saying: "If something is worth doing, it's worth doing well." And doing something quickly never, ever leads to doing something well.
