These guys just don't get it (emphasis added):
We asked Lowden spokesperson Crystal Feldman how this could ever be a workable policy, in an era of costly procedures, tests, pharmaceuticals and provider networks? "Americans are struggling to pay for their health care, and in order to afford coverage we must explore all options available to drive costs down," Feldman told TPMDC in an e-mail.
Feldman continued: "Bartering with your doctor is not a new concept. There have been numerous reports as to how negotiating with your doctor is an option and doctors have gone on the record verifying this. Unfortunately, Harry Reid's failed leadership forces us to take drastic measures. The fact remains that instead of producing a health care solution Americans support, Harry Reid spends his time focusing on attacking his biggest threat to another six years in Washington, Sue Lowden."
You'd think they'd be running for the hills, walking her silly arguments back. Instead now they are attacking Harry Reid because he doesn't support Lowden's 'Chickens for Checkups' health care barter scheme.
Obviously, Lowden and her crew don't know a thing about the reality of health care in America, but they are about to learn at least one importance lesson: how a once-promising campaign becomes a turkey.
