I’ve noticed that Morning Joe makes a point to avoid the word “Government”

…when describing the government sponsored report concerning Mammograms. In addition via Glenn the Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen (we “Catholics” love Abortion) Sebelius says ignore it:

“Our policies remain unchanged,” she said of the federal government. ” Indeed, I would be very surprised if any private insurance company changed its mammography coverage decisions as a result of this action.”

I wonder why she would be surprised? The government issues “guidelines” concerning health and companies to ignore them when those guidelines can save them money? What planet does she live on?

If the health plan was passed you think the government bureaucrats that would be running the plan would be ignoring it? RedState Elaborates:

Who here thinks that an insurance company already grimly aware that they exist on governmental sufferance might feel the need to ‘change its mammography coverage decisions’ to reflect current state medical policy? Particularly if there are consequences for not being in compliance with all the laws, regulations, rulings, and opinions that bureaucracies generate more or less automatically.

And republicans congressmen have noticed too.

But Republicans are drawing parallels between the advisory panel recommendations and so-called “comparative effectiveness efforts” that would be employed under Democratic health plans to control skyrocketing costs. The idea is that panels would study different treatments would be studied to determine which are the most effective.

Panels? Hmmm what KIND of panels.

I’ve Heard of Sullivans Syndrome…

…but this is ridiculous.

Jealousy is a terrible thing.

Update: Stacy is such a wallflower on stuff like this.

“Earnestness”? You complain about being accused of earnestness, you demented poofter? After you’ve spent more than 15 months pushing that lunatic Trig Truther nonsense?

You are a dope-smoking, contagion-spreading menace to society, Andrew Sullivan, and you ought to be immediately deported.

Nothing like a nice diplomatic discussion, be careful Robert Sullivan’s syndrome is catchy.

Update 2: Mike Potemra puts it better:

Andrew Sullivan is, on many issues, an interesting writer. But when it comes to this hobby-horse, it wouldn’t even be accurate to say that he has let Sarah Palin jiu-jitsu him; no, what’s happening here is that he is jiu-jitsuing himself — an act of which Sarah Palin is the most conspicuous beneficiary.

His full post on the matter is awesome.

It’s not the government says Dr. Nancy…

…because if the breast cancer report came from a GOVERNMENT report then that would be 50,000 women the government would condemn to cancer and death.

Here is the question if the health care plan had already passed would this be a “death panel’ for them.

Apparently it’s not a deal panel if it isn’t killing you.

Oh and it’s a hoot to watch Dr. Nancy on Morning Joe to talk about rationally spending money for the best return when they are going wild on “going green” and the person who has gotten a ton of green out of it is Al Gore.

The fact that this is coming out at the start of Sarah Palin’s book tour is irony and in my mind yet another indirect proof.

Q: How do we know the Oprah interview was effective?

A: Morning Joe is doing their best to ignore and dismiss it and pass it by.

I don’t know how much of it is an act but it’s funny.

Oh and they have Bill Press on now talking about how Obama owns any room he walks into and nobody does it like that.

He has never been in a room with Sarah Palin

Update: They made it up in the 8 a.m. hour but Robert Stacy has something to say on the subject of course:

Whether or not Sarah Palin is the last, best hope of the GOP, she is inarguably the worst nightmare of crusading liberal journalists. Not since Oliver North showed up for a key congressional hearing in his Marine Corps uniform has the Washington press corps been so spectacularly vexed at its inability to destroy an intended victim. Her mere survival makes her Evil with a capital “E.” The only way Republicans can save Palin from this incessant maelstrom of media hatred is to nominate a Limbaugh-Coulter ticket in 2012.

The result of this constant Palin-bashing is exactly the opposite of what the bashers intend. Possessing an amazing ability to enrage liberals, she causes them to expose their own nuttiness, as when Andrew Sullivan — Patient Zero of the Palin Derangement Syndrome media pandemic — accused her of being “obsessed” with him.

I have one objection to all of this. 2012, 2012, 2012. Sarah Palin is a year younger than me. In 2024 I’ll be 60 years old and Sarah Palin will be a year younger. She doesn’t have to run in 2012 she will be around for decades.
