something that you buy from insurance company, or pay to the insurance company with a contract to protect you from risk it s not a requirement of the government. a good analogy. it s a little grading. he sort of doubled down on it. i want you to react to this from senator harkin. no, we are better than this in this country. we are talking about being a part of our society. it s to our benefit. my wife and i, to pay our property taxes, to support our local schools because that s our next generation. we want them well-taught. we want good paid teachers, well-paid teachers. same way with healthcare. it is a value system. all right, but do you think, george, if it was billed this way suck up paying double more for premium but it s for the good of society and others will benefit, do you think it ever would have even become law if that was the
pitch? oh absolutely not. it sounds like to me that senator harkin believes that the insurance premiums that have been increaseside a new tax it s not a new tax. individual risk to cover yourself. it s like people that live in the mountains don t have to pay high flood insurance premiums because they don t have flood risk like somebody at the beach or somebody who lives along the river. i wonder too in the end if the way to repackage this now, if you are selling this healthcare law it is your responsibility to pay those higher premiums because look at the good you are doing. that it s been turned around as making a negative into a sort of a social positive, that, of course this height be the case but you have to, george, suck it up. deal with it. do the country some good. you and your beautiful wife, and quit whining about it what do you make of that? well?
guess that s not the case. she looks like that. good thing to say on national tv by the way. somethin tells me tom harkin was watching. he said he read it in the paper. please. there was a story in the other day about a paper somebody said well gee now i have to take this policy that covers maternity care but my wife and i aren t having any more children. i don t know if they were older or something like that. why should i have to have a policy that covers maternity care? i got to thinking about that i thought well, you no what? maybe because my wife and i don t have any more children and they are grown up, maybe i shouldn t have to pay property taxes to pay for my local schools. huh? huh? that s exactly what george schwabb said after he heard that. george, what do you make of
phone calls. i m not saying there s a lengthy historical precedence i m not as shocked as you are. however there was a time when everyone was assuming the notice den revelations were basically old hat, he wasn t going to be producing any news. he has produce ad treasure trove of information that is disturbing in many respects and yes i agree with julie i think the administration at some point step back and say they keep pointing to this one speech that the president gave as enough. let me get to two more stories as democrats begin to look towards the 2016 presidential election vice president joe biden appears to still be keenly interested in the state of iowa. biden called newly elected representative brian meyer to congratulate him on tuesdaying night s victory. when asked why do you think the president called? well it s iowa. also attended senator harkin s
