Partisan Politics is the Real Pre-Existing Condition

I’ve been watching the autopsy reporting on the Massachusetts Senate race.  It’s simply mind boggling.  I was on CNBC and Fox Business Network the day of the election trying to predict “what a Brown win means” like everyone else.  The next day, we heard it all.  The right says it’s a revolt against Obama’s “big government” or his “government takeover of healthcare.” The left says that people were mad that the healthcare bill did not go far enough and should have included a public option or that Martha Coakley blew it by sunbathing in the Bahamas instead of shaking hands in Beantown.

Let’s fly above the whole situation at 40,000 feet and see what we learn.

Friends,

We are in the critical hours for healthcare reform. We all know that a few Democratic Senators are threatening to hold hostage true reform, which must include the public option in order to bring competition into the healthcare market place, reduce premiums and ultimately long-term budget deficits.

The only choice for “fiscally responsible” Senators is the public option because without it, federal spending on healthcare will skyrocket from one in six dollars to one in three. Longterm, our national debt would be close to 400% GDP. That is what we call meltdown.

Dear Listeners and Friends:

Whether you’ve written me, called into the show or just listened these past few months, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your lives. So many of you have shared your thoughts with me and made me feel like I touched you in some way — whether you agreed or disagreed with me, we were able to have a dialogue.

Today will be my last show for a while. We have decided to go on hiatus to regroup and spend some time building the Nancy Skinner brand through multiple media — my TV appearances, my blog and the book I’m going to be writing. But, I will be back on the air causing more trouble by the fall, and will keep you up-to-date during the time I’m gone — I will not disappear.
