File her comment under: Idiot. Obviously, Bartiromo needs some schooling on Medicare and Medicaid.
MSNBC's Carlos Watson hosted Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) and CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo for a discussion on health care.
MSNBC's Carlos Watson hosted Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) and CNBC anchor Maria Bartiromo for a discussion on health care.
At one point, Bartiromo was critical of the government-managed health care system in the United Kingdom. "How do I know the quality [of health care in the United States] is not going to suffer" with a public option? she asked.
Rep. Weiner reminded her that there already is government-managed health care in the United States -- namely, Medicare, the system created for Americans 65 years and older -- and that patients with Medicare report very high satisfaction rates.
Bartiromo's response to this argument was a true head-scratcher. In a mocking tone, she pressed the congressman: "How come you don't use it [Medicare]? You don't have it. How come you don't have it?"
Rep. Weiner, who turns 45 this week, tried to walk Bartiromo through it. "Because I'm not 65." But she was insistent. "Yeah... c'mon!" she exclaimed, laughing incredulously.

Maybe she needs to ask him that question in like 21 years?

Maria lost alot of money with Bernie Madoff and now she and her husband are ranking in the free money they use to. I heard Maria's interview with Michael Moore as she attacked him on health care. She said she could afford it so others should do the same. Now it seems Maria has to give up steak and settle for hamburger. She and her husband don't know how to invest but made their money by letting Bernie Madoff handle their deals. As Maria continues to lose money and life style she will take it out on her guest. Looks like NBC has wing nuts and with Jenna the drug/drunk it should be interesting to see if anyone watches.
