No such thing is proposed by the president.<br /><br />To assert ad nauseum that it is a campaign that is based on the hope that if you tell a lie often enough, long enough, people will eventually believe it.jfhttp://blog.sustainblemiddleclass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-19427691251611248362009-09-19T15:15:07.063-04:002009-09-19T15:15:07.063-04:00I can give you direct quotes and page numbers on t...I can give you direct quotes and page numbers on the 27 member "commission" who will determine who gets what care, too, and the exact page and paragraph that states that only one of those must be a health care professional (not a physician, necessarily). I've written blogs about this and shown the exact sections that set up these panels who will be directed to cut costs and "reduce waste." There is also a lovely little incentive program for doctors to cut "medical devices and support" in order to get extra money. This program will have a continually lowering "rebase" that is based on the costs cut by these doctors. Does that sound like comprehensive and quality care will be on the offer?<br /><br />As to the BO blitz, it's just desperation. The new Rasmussen poll shows that 56% oppose the government takeover. That's not good. Remember when they used to play the "hit" song over and over and over, and remember how we all finally ended up despising the song because it'd saturated the airwaves? Same thing here. He needs to take a break from barraging us with the same tired lies (give us a break from hearing it, too).Fuzzy Slippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-45386480222298766672009-09-19T15:09:50.863-04:002009-09-19T15:09:50.863-04:00Well, BO isn't being honest about the "if...Well, BO isn't being honest about the "if you like your healthcare you can keep it." In HR3200, Pelosi's pet bill, it clearly states a few things worthy of note: if you do not have healthcare on the enactment date, you MUST get government "approved" insurance (16), you cannot add dependents to the plan you have if any are born after that date (16), you can only keep it for 5 years under a "grandfather clause" (16), after 18 months the Commissioner will review all people still in their private plan and "make recommendations" to ensure they have "no incentive" to continue their own insurance (21-23), and there will be assorted fine and fees applied to employers who offer your own plan for those five years (110). Tell me again how I'll be able to keep my insurance, as it is?Fuzzy Slippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-12956769419014442222009-09-19T14:39:23.096-04:002009-09-19T14:39:23.096-04:00Not one of shows Obama will be on is owned by medi...Not one of shows Obama will be on is owned by media Czar, Rupert Murdoch. So he is not into changing peoples minds, it's all about reassurance.
