    Pelosi: We'll ‘Squeeze’ Medicare to Pay for Health Care Bill

    Isn't anybody pissed that they are wasting $500 billion per year right now

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said today that Congress will pay for half of the $1 trillion health care reform bill that President Obama wants enacted by “squeezing” Medicare and Medicaid to wring out what she called “waste, fraud, abuse, redundancy, obsolescence and whatever it is.”

    Pelosi was asked at her weekly press briefing if she agreed with President Obama that much of the health care reform plan can be paid for by cutting Medicare and Medicaid.

    “Half the bill will be paid for by squeezing excesses out of the [Medicare and Medicaid] system, and there is $500 billion dollars to do that and we’re looking for more,” Pelosi said. “That can be achieved--waste, fraud, abuse, redundancy, obsolescence, whatever it is. Squeeze it out of the system; and that means out of the providers and the rest as well.”

    Actually I think it is Pelosi is the one that is pissed. This was never supposed to happen once Obama was elected and the fact their bill is falling apart is just more fuel for her hatred and stupidity in her behavior with this bill. The more they promise it done fast the worst it gets.
