Conservatives vs. Big Business?

Huh. It just dawned on me as I was watching last night's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell and the interview with Tim Pawlenty. Pawlenty was yet again spewing how a successful businessman (in Mitt Romney, the guy Pawlenty is now supporting since he's dropped out of the race) makes a better candidate for President. But then, later in the interview, he goes on to say that Obamacare is bad for the country because he and Romney believe it should be up to the States to make decisions on how to best do their own healthcare plans. Leaving aside the fact that NONE of the other states had, prior to Romney, done jack or shit to reduce healthcare costs substantially, it just poses another reality-conundrum for the Retardican party. The single best way to cut costs and curtail expenditure for better delivery is through Economies of Scale. The more you put into it, the more you can get out of it. If each State does their 'own thing', then the insurance companies continue to reap even greater profits at our expense because of the smaller 'insurance pools' they artificially craft within their own company. If the Federal Government crafts a pool that contains, say, 80million+ citizens in one pool, the costs would go down SHARPLY for each person in that pool while still getting some substantial increases in coverage and care quality.

But hey. Most of the Retardicans don't understand how business 'works'. Just that they work, magically money comes into their pockets, and magically that's how the Government should be too. Cuz 'humans' like Newt and St. Reagan, and Armey say so.
