For all those who perhaps thought that getting nearly everything they wanted would appease the Right …

… just scope out the lede (my emphasis) here:

Conservatives condemn passage of House health bill (OneNewsNow.com)

Monstrous and a defiance of the will of the American people – that’s how one pro-family group is describing the health bill that House Democrats pushed through Saturday night by a vote of 220 to 215.

Not quite sure which polls said pro-family group is reading, but getting national health care reform still seems to have the majority of Americans squarely behind it.

What’s “monstrous” is how watered-down this proposal actually is — and how it’s still being fought, tooth and claw, by the forces in favor of the status quo.

The President of Concerned Women for America, Wendy Wright, says the bill will ration care and punish citizens who don’t have government-mandated insurance.

We already have rationed care.  Insurance companies ration care — and then find ways to deny it to you when you actually qualify for it.

There’s some truth to the claim that folks will be required to have insurance.  If this were a national health care system, nobody would give it a second thought that everyone was covered and, in fact, it was being paid for by taxes.  Mandating the purchase (for purposes of evening out the risk pool) from a private company is the next best thing — and wouldn’t be necessary if the Right hadn’t kiboshed a single-payer system.

Wright declares “this montrous bill” will erode the best health care system in the world.

It won’t, because it isn’t (and even to the extent it is, is inaccessible by folks who can’t afford adequate insurance).

According to Wright, “In exchange for insurance, we’ll lose access to proper health care. We’ll lose health care providers who will leave the profession.”

Um … why would they leave the profession?  And if you don’t have access to proper health care already (as millions don’t), getting some insurance might actually be a good thing.

She says the bill would “create multiple bureaucracies that will control Americans’ health care, penalize Americans for not buying a product, fine Americans if a government agent decides their health care plan is not ‘government approved’ and may force Americans to buy government mandated insurance that funds objectionable procedures.”

Wright notes that although an amendment passed to bar federal funding of abortion, Democrat leaders refused to guarantee that it will be in the final bill.  According to Wright, “the vote on the amendment may have been a ruse to gain pro-life Democrats vote on the bill.”

Yes, you see, we cover all that in Government 101 — the House passes bills, but the Senate passes them, too.

Anyway note that you can never give enough inches with these people — knuckle under in the House and, sure as shooting, you’ll be accused of planning to betray them in the Senate or in reconciliation.

I also note: if you have moral objections to a service offered by your insurance, the obvious solution is not to use that service.  But, again, the Right isn’t happy unless nobody can do it.

Meanwhile, House Republican leader, John Boehner, also issued a statement condemning the bill.

Well, freaking duh.  He’s been an opponent of it from the get-go, and voted against it.  Of course he’s going to condemn it, even if he weren’t a jerk who’s more interested in scoring electoral points than in serving the public.

He said “Americans want a common-sense approach to health care reform, not Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s 2,032-page government takeover that increases costs, adds to our skyrocketing debt, destroys jobs with tax hikes and new mandates, and cuts seniors’ Medicare benefits.”

“It also curdles milk, gives you dandruff, causes random spleen explosions, and will bring about the end of the world in 2012.”

Boehner noted that Republicans have offered an alternative health care reform package which offers lower costs and expands access to quality care-without adding to the “crushing debt Washington has placed on our children and grandchildren.”

Yes, it costs much less, bumps insurance company profits through the roof, and doesn’t cover any more people.  Brilliant alternative, sir!
