10 points on Health Care Bill

10) "The irony is that actually one of the chief sponsors of this bill originally was a Republican -- then House member, now senator, named Johnny Isakson from Georgia -- who very sensibly thought this is something that would expand people's options."
Isakson came out immediately after this and emphatically condemned this outrageously false claim.

9) "AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare, okay?"
The AARP quickly corrected this misinformation: "Indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."

8) "You will not be waiting in any lines."
All the evidence says otherwise.

7) "46 million Americans don't have health insurance coverage today."
This is an obscenely dishonest "calculation."

6) "I'm not promoting a single-payer plan."
Obama admitted that such a plan is exactly his goal here. And here is a non-partisan study confirming that ObamaCare will indeed destroy free market health care, leaving us with no other options but government-run care.

5) "Under the reform we're proposing, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan."
The Congressional Budget Office estimated that 10 million workers would be forced out of their employer-based coverage and into government health care by this bill.

4) "So the intention...was to give people more information so that they could handle issues of end-of-life care when they're ready, on their own terms. It wasn't forcing anybody to do anything...And somehow it's gotten spun into this idea of 'death panels.'"House Republicans, patient advocates, and conservative publications have repeatedly highlighted the specific parts of the bill that would in fact force seniors into counseling sessions that pressure them to stop burdening the system.
Obama's own Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, has openly admitted that Obama's "vague promises of savings from cutting waste, enhancing prevention and wellness, installing electronic medical records and improving quality are merely 'lipstick' cost control, more for show and public relations than for true change." The real savings come from rationing care. ObamaCare will have panels modeled after Britain's system, which cuts costs by denying care to the sick and elderly.

3) "We're not talking about cutting Medicare benefits."
Obama admitted that this was how his health care scam would be funded. He has proposed $313 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid to pay for this.

2) "This is not about putting government in charge of your health insurance."
Yeah, how could passing a needless, blatantly unconstitutional law to address a non-existent crisis with endless government rules and regulations on every aspect of health care possibly be misconstrued as "putting government in charge?"

1) "I won't sign a bill that adds to the deficit or the national debt."
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the current legislation being promoted and defended by Barack "No Pork in This Bill" Obama will cost an absolute fortune and increase, rather than decrease, health care costs...making this claim completely absurd.


The one useful thing Obama did say at this propaganda event was this:
"...if you think about it, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right?...It's the Post Office that's always having problems." Guess he didn't realize that they are both privately owned coporations - not government owned.
