据美国《赫芬顿邮报》11月12日报道,近日,美国福克新闻频道主持人、时事评论员梅金·
凯利(MegynKelly)就奥巴马总统推进的医改与来访嘉宾进行辩论,痛批奥巴马医改是骗局。
据了解,前不久,麻省理工学院的经济学家乔纳森·
格鲁伯(JonathanGruber)参与起草奥巴马医改方案,并发表了讲话视频。
针对该视频,凯利与民主党战略家、民意测验专家伯纳德·
惠特曼(BernardWhitman)在节目中展开辩论,双方各执一词。
凯利称,美国选民的愚蠢使得奥巴马医改方案在20GG年顺利通过。
惠特曼则表示,平价医疗法已经奏效,群众也从中受益。
对于惠特曼的说法,凯利难掩愤怒,连呼“真的吗?
群众们真的知道吗?
你觉得观众能够相信吗?
”
凯利的质疑与争论贯穿节目始终,他批评道:
“平价医改是一个骗局,政府欺骗了我们!
