of Lies

Part THREE of FOUR
(Links are in GREEN)
Obama makes the
transparently false claim
that private insurance will
not be affected by HR 3200,
and that those who like their
current plans can keep them,
despite the fact that individual Americans will only be allowed
to obtain private plans for a
5 year grace period,
and government plans will
become the default should
“46 million of our fellow
citizens have no coverage.
They are just vulnerable.
If something happens,
they go bankrupt,
or they don’t get the
care they need.”
But everyone can
currently obtain care,
even if they cannot pay.
That is why 60 hospitals
in California have closed,
because the law requires
them to treat everyone.
.
.
.
.
And that 46 million number
is known to be bogus,
since 9.7 million of this
number are illegal aliens.
.
.
.
.
By one estimate,
14 million Americans choose
not to obtain coverage.
18 million are under 34
and are either dependents
or simply opt not to seek
insurance,
according to one study.
When these numbers
are subtracted,
only 5 million
uninsured remain.
“we will make sure that no
insurance company or
government bureaucrat
gets between you and the
care you need,”
but responding to a
Medicare recipient that had
been denied the only drug
that would alleviate
his condition,
“Look, there may be —
in nine out of 10 cases,
the generic might work
as well or better than
the brand name.
And we don’t want to just
subsidize the drug companies
if you’ve got one that works
just as well as another.“
.

Obama says that the
healthcare reform measure
will not be used to expand
federal funding of
knowing that the vaunted
Hyde amendment applies
only to Medicaid,
not the public option,
and that the Capps Amendment,
as passed by the House Energy
and Commerce Committee,
explicitly requires every enrollee
of a government-subsidized
health insurance plan to be
charged an extra fee
to cover abortions.

Obama can hardly
plead ignorance.
