5. GOP to run AGAINST Health Care

Obama's potential GOP opponents line up against health care

Apr 07, 2010

Republicans who would like to run against President Obama in 2012 plan to use the new health care law against him, but Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is in a unique position to do so.

Pawlenty -- a sitting governor -- said yesterday he may file his own lawsuit against the health care plan, claiming its requirement that all Americans buy insurance is unconstitutional.

Two former governors who may run for president -- Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin -- are also calling for repeal of the new law, and have questioned its constitutionality.

Another sitting governor of another state -- Haley Barbour of Mississippi -- is also challenging the health care law, and also mulling a presidential race. Whether he runs or not, the silver-tongued Barbour has already delivered one of the most memorable lines of the health care debate, aiming at another favorite Republican target: The news media.

6. The GOP's Dirty Health-Care Secret

Republicans are screaming that Obamacare’s mandates are a “stunning assault on liberty,” as one put it. That’s ironic, since Richard Nixon, Bob Dole, and Bill Frist all embraced the idea.

The new mandate requiring Americans to buy health insurance is “the most egregious, unconstitutional legislation that we can remember,” said South Carolina Republican Attorney General Henry McMaster. He is among more than a dozen state attorneys general who have filed a lawsuit asking the courts to declare the mandate unconstitutional because it is “an unprecedented encroachment” on the rights of both individuals and the states by the federal government. The political scrum that’s erupted over the mandate plan is deeply ironic—given that the idea has been warmly embraced by elements of the right since at least the early 1970s.

Far from the “stunning assault on liberty” decried by Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, the individual mandate is partially traceable to conservative embrace of an anti-Medicare, pro-free-market health-reform agenda. President Nixon’s Office of Management and Budget Director Caspar Weinberger believed that providing insurance to all Americans was a worthy goal, for instance. At the same time, he opposed reforms that would expand a government-run health-care system. So, as Daily Beast contributor Adam Clymer recounts in his fine biography of Sen. Ted Kennedy, Weinberger proposed a “solution” that would put the burden on employers “by requiring them to insure their workers.” This was an “employer mandate,” and it appealed to Weinberger among others because it ensured that health care in America would remain in the hands of the private sector, not fall under control of Washington.

The bombastic rhetoric characterizing mandates as the end of liberty and the lawsuit filed by the attorneys general have a hypocritical, hyperbolic cast about them.

10. Newt's unhealthy outlook

Gingrich on this Congress: ‘We will repeal virtually everything they did’


NEW ORLEANS -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday that he thinks Republicans will repeal “virtually everything” the Democrats have done in the 111th Congress.

Speaking to a crowd of about 300 in New Orleans before the start of the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, Gingrich upped the rhetoric. He repeatedly called the Obama Administration a “secular-socialist machine” and said its moment is fleeting.

“The left has a very temporary moment in history when it has both Congress and the White House,” Gingrich said. “I think we will repeal virtually everything they did.”

Gingrich, who has spoken out in favor of repealing the healthcare bill, has since added that it’s not feasible until Republicans return to the White House in 2013.
