Obama Health Care Take 22

I admit that President Obama, who arrived almost 15 minutes late for this “speech of the century,” had me going for a minute.

He lost me when he said he had to have a public option even though he said it in a way that almost made it sound reasonable. That is a game changer right there.

He says it has to be done as a means to an end. The end he wants. That is what he has always wanted and that is why he will do whatever it takes to get it done.

Government care is not competition, government care is not choice. It is the law of the land unless you are in congress or are wealthy (not mutually exclusive) enough to pay for private insurance.

People from Canada and Europe ( who progressives here are trying to emulate as they are trying to get out of their socialized everything mess) are screaming at us not to go down the government care path.

For every story Obama can tell of people who fell though the cracks and did not get treatment for a disease, they have hundreds.

Although he said he will not insure illegals he keeps using the number of uninsured that includes illegals. Of course he thinks there are 57 states so I'll give him a pass for the moment.

And why does an insurance exchange program have to be set up by the government instead of just allowing Insurance Companies to sell insurance across state lines?

The frosting on the cake was when he said that he would protect Medicare by cutting the waste. Then why is the 500 billion dollars cut in Medicare still on their site.

He, and the democrat controlled congress, has had almost nine months to at least start the process of cutting waste. Obama has a czar for every piddly thing but to my knowledge there is no czar in place to cut fraud and waste in medicare.

Surely he has another czar like the self avowed communist and revolutionary, the recently departed Van Jones, ready to step into his inner shadowy circle.

Now I know he is lying when he says that government cannot solve all the problems. In fascist governments, government is the only thing that progressives put their faith in to solve the ills of the world. As long as it is they, the progressives, in charge.

He did get a big laugh when he admitted he did not have all the details. This is his modes operandi. Lofty rhetoric, empty words (far to many). Same old, same old.....

As Dennis Miller said, All I want the president to do is roll out the eggs at Easter, light the tree at Christmas and save the turkey's neck at Thanksgiving. That's about it.

Rep Charles Boustany, a heart surgeon, gave the response. Go to healthcare.gop.gov for the Republican plan which you will not hear about in the liberal media.

Obama gave lip service to parts of the plan in his speech but is to common sensible to be considered seriously by the progressives. It does not include government at the helm.
