Today’s American Thinker<\/a> posted an article on the Boston Globe’s recent attack on Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour.  <\/p>\n

The American Thinker article reports:<\/p>\n

\n

“The Boston Globe exhibited a sample hatchet job on Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour on its <\/em>front page<\/em><\/font><\/a>, titled “Amid strained clinics, foe assails ‘ObamaCare.'” The story– less a news story than an unpaid political ad for Obama and ObamaCare — portrays Barbour as heartless and “out of touch with low-income people.”” <\/em><\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As usual, the facts weren’t really related to the story.  The Globe tells the story of a clinic in a strip mall that services many of Mississippi’s poor.  <\/p>\n

The writer of the article points out:<\/p>\n

\n
“My primary care physician is at one of the best hospitals in the world. In Massachusetts we have a form of guaranteed health insurance comparable to the ObamaCare that Barbour is assailing. My annual physical this year cost $1,372, and after my $15,048 annual insurance policy paid its share, my out of pocket cost was $458. My health care is excellent, but is this level of excellence a basic human right that we must guarantee to every citizen through federal mandate? Isn’t a nurse practitioner or a doctor in a strip mall clinic capable of handling most primary care medicine — our multitude of aches, pains, coughs, and sore throats?<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n

<\/em> <\/p>\n

“Haley Barbour thinks so, and he has led the lawsuit by twenty-six states against ObamaCare. He refuses to accept federal funding because of the costly strings attached. The Globe writer seems confused by the whole concept. As he writes, “health care advocates and physicians…are especially dismayed because they view the law as a great financial deal for the state.””<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The best part of the article is the Haley Barbour quote at the end:<\/p>\n

\n
“Most of the health disparities in Mississippi are not because of the inability to get access or afford health care…They are because of diet, alcohol, because of drugs, the very high incidence of illegitimacy that leads to high incidence of low-birth weight children. I grew up in a society where if it wasn’t fried you were asking, “Why not?””<\/em><\/font><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This man may have serious potential as a presidential candidate–he is straight forward and has a wonderful sense of humor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
