Outing the O-Bums
Do you remember this fellow? He is Snidely Whiplash Obama.
Today's post is a gallimaufry of gnostic gleanings from electronic gobbledygook.
You can believe me; why would I lie?
What do they know? They're just a bunch of busybodies.
The most effective way to decrease national health expenditures is to decrease the population by rationing health care.
Old dogs have teeth too.
Why should people who have no pensions fund them for others?
It's time to improve US health care by eliminating frivolous lawsuits and cost shifting, get government out of the health insurance business, and increase risk pool numbers by allowing health insurance to be sold across state lines.
Specious reasoning is prevarication.
Aren't you just a bit ashamed of being a burden on your family and loved ones?
The right to life has taken on a completely new meaning.
Do you mean that I'm benefiting at the expense of others from this bill? Moi?
Prior to accepting a spokesman's claims concerning a product, find out how he benefits from promoting it.
If you are tired of caring for the elderly; then, Obama can help.
May your gods be with you.

Et Spreken Ze Totalitarianese, Yah?
Odumbo's welfare health care bill is more than 1000 pages of secular progressivism that aims to institute a government Ministry of Health similar to that of the former Soviet Union. If you are planning to enroll in Medicare or continuing to use it, forget it. The same goes for Medicaid.
The White House spin corps employs tactics of disinformation to obfuscate facts concerning their plans. The first order of business for them is to deny altogether that they have proposed legislation to nationalize the US health care industry. Second, they engage in ad hominem attacks to discredit those who have exposed the flaws in their plans rather than to refute their arguments. The more closely that the plan is scrutinized, the more ponderously unworkable, expensive, and intrusive it becomes.
Third, they present crutches-for-little-Timmy-Cratchet type emotional arguments to divert attention away from the information that is revealed by rationally deliberating the relevant empirical evidence concerning their bill. Fourth, they name and caricature their opponents in order to identify them as hated others rather than as people. This is the sort of mindless neurotic drivel that sent Japanese-Americans to internment camps in WWII.
On page 29 of HR3200, we learn that health care will be rationed. What a shock; Obama lied. Page 42 informs us that the Health Choices Czar will determine, on an individual basis, which treatments and benefits will be allowed. Page 50 reveals that illegal immigrants have the same rights to government health care as citizens.
We are told on page 58 that everyone in the country will be required by law to have a national health care identification card. Und veah ah zee peephazz, Hah! Et spreken ze totalitarianese? If you believe that this will only be used for health care, you are dangerously naive and gullible. Pages 58 and 59 authorize the Ministry of Health to have direct access to all bank accounts. On 195 it states the the Ministry will have access to all financial and personal records. So much for being secure in our personal effects and papers. The list of transgressions and treachery is long and should be read by all concerned citizens.
Evidence indicates that people who have private insurance will desert those plans in droves in favor of welfare health care.
Families with children will pay more for health care because the subsidies that those with private insurance were previously charged by hospitals will end. Below is from the previous link.
Historically, public programs--specifically Medicare and Medicaid--have reimbursed providers at levels below the costs of their services. For example, in 2003, on average, Medicare paid hospitals only 95 percent of the cost of providing services, while Medicaid paid hospitals only 89 percent of the cost of providing services. These below-cost reimbursements to providers by private payers--as evidenced by hospital reimbursements to the tune of 122 percent of costs in 2003. This cost shift, in turn, inflates private health insurance premiums for individuals and families.
Medicare will cease to exist. For years, politicians have slavered at the thought of means testing Medicare in order to burden those who were successful in life with paying for even more of the mommy staters' purchasing of votes from their theft-welfare constituents. Now, Medicare will be bundled into the Health Ministry's scheme along with Medicaid. It seems interesting that those who paid into the system will be lumped together with the indigent offspring of illegal aliens.
May your gods be with you.

Stealing from Tomorrow to Pay for Today's Excesses
Barack's Barbarians are terrified of transparency. They have hired America's Blithering Clowns as shills to obfuscate inconvenient information and broadcast disinformation to gather support for the latest version of the theft-welfare state. Vastly increasing the numbers of people who are dependent on government (O-bot's constituents) is central to their schemes. Knee-Capping trade and throttling the national economy, aka. Cap and Trade, is one example. This article describes only a part of what is in store for America.
Worse yet, O-Blarney's ministry of information the American Bull-bleep Corporation, just aired a one-hour infomercial of the administration's Brave New Health Care, toadying up to the administration's progressivist schemes to institute nationwide Ed Kennedy's Massachusetts-style socialized medicine.
If you believe that all forms of employer furnished health insurance except for--what a shock!--government employees and unions will not be taxed eventually on a nationwide scale, you are dangerously naive and gullible. O'l-Bigears has taken the standard party line of his ideological soul mates, government rationed health care for thee but not for me. By the way, anyone who believes that forcing insurance companies to insure all applicants regardless of existing conditions, without higher premiums, and with a vastly reduced pool of customers to shoulder the costs will not force them out of business should contact this blog to purchase some unicorn futures.
What has not been discussed in the health care propaganda wars is personal responsibility and how it has been made exponentially more expensive through cost shifting by passing along to the insured the costs of treating the uninsured.
Their next move is to make The One dictator for life.
May your gods be with you.
