SC Senator Lindsey Graham's getting ready, it seems, for full citizenship in Teabagistan:
MYRTLE BEACH — U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said Friday in Myrtle Beach that he wants states to be able to opt out of Obamacare and he plans an appearance with Gov. Nikki Haley to forward his idea.
He called the national health program “a clever, ill designed, ill-conceived effort” to drive the private sector out of healthcare. He said that people should take more responsibility for their own health and be able to buy the level of insurance they think best for themselves.
He asked how many of the approximately 100 people in the audience asked doctors what they would be charged for care, and few raised their hands.
“If you had a contest to screw up America, you would have a winner,” he said of Obamacare. “Having said that, the status quo is not acceptable either.”
Graham, R-S.C., wasn’t real specific about what he thought acceptable other than to say there should be a floor income below which some government assistance might be possible for healthcare...
Graham is up for reelection in 2014 and is already facing a robust primary at least partly fueled by the fact that the Tea Party doesn’t think he is conservative enough.
In his talk to the group, he touched on any number of conservative hot-button issues and judging by the applause he got on some of the topics, his credentials were solid when he left the room.
