GOP Rep. DesJarlais celebrates millions from what he called socialized medicine

Rep. Scott DeJarlais bamboozling constituents.

Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN) wants you to know he's a doctor, calling himself Dr. D on his Web site. He has that picture prominently displayed at the top of his site. Maybe he's explaining to these nice older people that he's trying to take away their Medicare. At any rate, one would think that a doctor would have a clearer idea about how medical systems work, than to think that the Affordable Care Act was socialized medicine, but one would be wrong, since he is a Republican. His exact quote, from last year's campaign, was that the Affordable Care Act was a "smoke-and-mirrors ploy to implement socialized medicine."

And you can tell he's a Republican because he just had a big event, celebrating the millions his district got in a grant from the ACA?the law he voted to repeal.

[O]nly four months into office, DesJarlais? office appears to be touting a successful health reform program. According to the Crossvile Chronicle, a representative from DesJarlais? district office was on hand last week for a groundbreaking ceremony to hand over nearly $4.5 million in grant money?entirely funded by the Affordable Care Act?for the construction of a community health clinic in Cumberland County, Tennessee. Gregg Ridley, a staffer for DesJarlais, even posed for a photo-op with a gaint ceremonial check to local officials to take credit for making the grant possible.

Chances are pretty good that Cumberland County really needs that community health clinic, a clinic that Dr. D would have rather not seen built at all, since it must be a socialist clinic, but which he's more than happy to take credit for.
