Wow, talking about not pulling the punches.
The Heritage Foundation lays it on the line in response to the president claiming that his plan builds on a model of the reform package espoused by the Foundation.
The Obama health-care law “builds” on the Heritage health reform model only in the sense that, say, a double-quarter-pounder with cheese “builds” on the idea of a garden salad. Both have lettuce and tomato and may be called food, but the similarities end there.
This is why we at the Heritage Foundation respectfully ask President Obama and his acolytes to stop misrepresenting our research. We think this massive health law is abominable and should be repealed. And until Congress repeals it, lawmakers should starve this monstrosity of taxpayer funds.
I wonder if he’ll get the message?
