Millions of viewers got to hear Bill O’Reilly demonizing the health insurance industry in his “Talking Points” tonight. His diatribe was incoherent and full of errors and distortions. Apparently he became upset when his health insurance rates went up between 10 and 15 percent. Since his family probably didn’t have any major issues, he assumed that the only answer could be greedy health insurers jacking up his rates in response to Obamacare.
Mr. O’Reilly is usually arrogant and sometimes pompous. When he is uninformed, too, the outbursts are hard to take. His health care rant ranks right up there with his diatribes against oil companies. He doesn’t know much about either market.
