Posts about Obama Health Care Failure as of September 28, 2009

No one can argue that the liberal left is limited in imagination. The ideas and myths they conjure up border on the insane. From believing Bush and Cheney were listening in on their lame ramblings, to the Chicken Little cries of doom over global warming after a decade of global cooling, they have some created some wild theories – that is to be sure. But one of their strangest delusions is the idea that the public booted them out of control of Congress in 1994 because they failed to be too far left and pass far left legislation.

A new wanted poster from ConservativeHQ.com puts Republican Leaders Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, and Michael Steele on notice that they’re wanted for being “Absent Without Leave” for “desertion during the debate on Obama’s government take-over of medicine.” While conservative grassroots leaders have taken the fight against Obamacare to town halls across America, Republican [...]

By Lionel WaxmanBill Clinton, former president is seeing things again. He sees the “vast right-wing conspiracy” he was able to blame for everything when he was president. Now here it is again.Bill, and Obama, here’s the scoop (and we have the scoop because we are part of the right-wing). It is vast (unlike you’re half-vast left wing conspiracy) and it is right-wing, but it’s no conspiracy. It is simply the aggregation of people who believe in the founding principles of this country, people many of whom have sworn to uphold the Constitution.

Leviathan, The Matter, Forme and Power of a Common Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil Conservatives and libertarians of the type who frequent this site are often seen as extremists by the left. We will be told that Obama “is simply trying to help people” and that our concerns about individual liberty are misplaced and even paranoid. They are blind to caustic effects on liberty of an ever encroaching central bureaucracy.

RASMUSSEN: Support for ObamaCare Hits New Low: “Just 41% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down two points from a week ago and the lowest level of support yet measured. . . . Senior citizens are less supportive of the plan than younger voters. In the latest survey, just 33% of seniors favor the plan while 59% are opposed. The intensity gap among seniors is significant.

Having an honest opposing viewpoint is not unAmerican and is not a reason to boycott an American company. It is however a reason to boycott an ONLINE Political bag of unAmerican activity like the Progressive Review…just don’t go there! I have never shopped at WHOLE FOODS, yet I’m going start to support the right to his Freedom of Speech displayed by the CEO. Progressive Review is unAmerican in their activities designed to intimidate and stifle free expression of any discenting views regarding the socialization of American Medicine and the overhaul of the American Health Insurance Industry.

By Stephen Dinan at The Washington Times Fearful that they’re losing ground on immigration and health care, a group of House Democrats is pushing back and arguing that any health care bill should extend to all legal immigrants and allow illegal immigrants some access. The Democrats, trying to stiffen their party’s spines on the contentious issue, say it’s unfair to bar illegal immigrants from paying their own way in a government-sponsored exchange.

Obama Wants More School, Shorter Break WASHINGTON Students beware: The summer vacation you just enjoyed could be sharply curtailed if President Barack Obama gets his way. Obama says American kids spend too little time in school, putting them at a disadvantage with other students around the globe. “Now, I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas,” the president said earlier this year. “Not with Malia and Sasha, not in my family, and probably not in yours.

Obama Uses Federal Agency To Promote Obamacare Over 56% of America doesn’t want Obamacare health care.  That hasn’t stopped elitist progressive Barack Hussein Obama from illegally using your tax dollars to promote this socialist health care bill.  What does the NEA (National Endowment for Arts) have to do with Obamacare? Before Obama started illegally using them NEA had nothing to do with Obamacare.  Now though the Obama administration is using your tax dollars through the NEA to promote Obamacare.  Although illegal and unethical that doesn’t stop Obama.

Richmond Times Dispatch Health ‘Reform’ Is Income Redistribution Wall Street Journal By MICHAEL O. LEAVITT, AL HUBBARD While many Americans are upset by obamacare’s $1 trillion price tag, Congress is contemplating other changes with little analysis or debate. These changes would create a massively unfair form of income redistribution …

Obama and the Utopian Dream of Nuclear Disarmament A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet Just a few days ago we watched as President Obama chaired the United Nations Security Council for the first time and pledged to bring nuclear disarmament to the planet. See, the thing is – he was SERIOUS about it! Now, nuclear disarmament alone frightens me, but having a President who actually believes in it and is pledging to do it, scares me witless ! What we have here, people, is a Utopian Dream right out of the 1960’s peace movement and ban-the-bomb movement.

On September 26, Bishop Charles E. Blake, Presiding Bishop of the Church of God in Christ, a primarily African-American denomination, issued a statement in support of what he called President Barack Obama’s “effort to provide healthcare to every American.” It should be never be forgotten that, far from making an “effort to provide healthcare to every American” President Obama is one of the very few American politicians who has ever voted to deny healthcare to Americans.

Interstate competition in health insurance is one vital element in keeping costs down, but Mr. Obama nixes that idea.  Maybe it would compete with the Public Option Plan? You think? ~ Pesky Emotional Republican~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Posted by Moe Lane (Profile) / Red State Sunday, September 20th at 12:00PM EDTThis is actually from September 9th – you can tell, because they’re hyping the President’s speech as being a game-changer – but it’s instructive nonetheless.

… “Americans do spend an inordinate amount of money (30 percent of Medicare, for instance) on … central planners put together their goal of saving money with alleged “patient goals and wishes” …

There’s an old adage popular among lawyers: If your case is weak on the law, pound the facts.  If it’s weak on the facts, pound the law.  If your case is weak on the facts and the law, pound the table. Democrats—frustrated by the public’s resistance to their grand scheme to federalize health care and desperate to discredit legitimate opposition by changing the terms of the debate—are pounding the table, invoking allegations of racism as the motivation for the opposition.

Two days ago ThinkProgress posted this:Uninsured 22-Year-Old Boehner Constituent Dies From Swine Flu A 22-year-old woman from Oxford, Ohio, died from swine flu on Wednesday. Kimberly Young graduated from Miami University in December and continued to live in Oxford, Ohio, within Minority Leader John Boehner’s congressional district. Reports now indicate that after initially getting sick, Young put off treatment because she was uninsured…The writers of this post are trying to pull a fast one.

THE DOCTOR IS IN…..SANE! We all know we’re not getting the real skinny on ObamaCare from our President or Congress. Who knows if anyone even knows what’s really in the bill? Obama comes up with something new each time he talks about it but it still appears to be nothing but an expensive disaster zone! Common Sense Citizens (of which AWD is a proud member) is partnering with the Tea Party Coalition (of which AWD is a proud member) to select the 10 most popular unanswered questions on government run health care.

Of course they are : Fearful that they’re losing ground on immigration and health care, a group of House Democrats is pushing back and arguing that any health care bill should extend to all legal immigrants and allow illegal immigrants some access. If anything kills Obamacare dead it will be the liberal Democrats who just can’t stand the idea of a bill that doesn’t include coverage for illegals and a public option. Right now they are the best friends Republicans have.

By MICHAEL O. LEAVITT, AL HUBBARD AND KEITH HENNESSEYWhile many Americans are upset by ObamaCare’s $1 trillion price tag, Congress is contemplating other changes with little analysis or debate. These changes would create a massively unfair form of income redistribution and create incentives for many not to buy health insurance at all.Let’s start with basics: Insurance protects against the risk of something bad happening. When your house is on fire you no longer need protection against risk.

Written by Ed on September 27, 2009 – 8:57 pm – By Zane F Pollard, MDI have been sitting quietly on the sidelines watching all of this national debate on health care. It is time for me to bring some clarity to the table by explaining many of the problems from the perspective of a doctor.First off, the government has involved very few of us physicians in the health care debate.

Here’s some links about Obamacare that have popped up over the past several weeks. Patients with terminal illnesses die earlier under the British System . This is a great indicator of how well Obamacare will work: Obama slashes billions from Medicare heart and cancer treatment . Terrorists left in their own filth: War crime! Patients left in their own filth: Progressive Healthcare! If you refuse to pay for Obamacare, you face up to a year in prison . The AARP may be set for kickbacks from Obamacare .

Quote: In Canada, a move toward a private healthcare option In British Columbia, private clinics and surgical centers are capitalizing on patients who might otherwise pay for faster treatment in the U.S. The courts will consider their legality next month. By Kim Murphy September 27, 2009 Reporting from Vancouver, Canada – When the pain in Christina Woodkey’s legs became so severe that she could no long hike or cross-country ski, she went to her local health clinic.

Since when is Uncle Sam pushing marijuana cigarettes? Are doobies now the medicine of choice for cancer-sufferers and others?

By Alan CarubaYou know things are amiss when a British newspaper takes President Obama to task in an editorial titled, “Too much Obama.”America and the rest of the world have had nine months of President Obama and all the flaws that were hidden by campaign rhetoric and coverage are now on daily display. The problem, specifically, is too much rhetoric, too many speeches in too many places.The Times of London politely suggested “he has adopted flawed tactics for which he has only himself to blame.”“One of these is to be everywhere, all the time.

Deb, Beezlebub, and I went to Meadowbrook last night to see Alan Jackson in concert. To say it was an awesome show would do it an injustice. I have to admit to being taken by surprise when he performed Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning. It wasn’t the song that took me by surprise but my reaction to it. Too many memories of That Awful Day. Looking around I saw I wasn’t the only one with tears in my eyes.

Is Obama telling a true story or not?  I don’t know and with Obama’s credibility gap, it’s impossible to tell.  It doesn’t matter, though.  What does matter is that, by relaying this anecdote , Obama is keeping alive the Obama/Hitler analogy: President Obama at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation dinner last night, discussing false claims made about the health care reform bill, told a little anecdote.

OBAMA’S HEALTH INSURANCE TAX: COMING SOON TO ALL POLICIES The Baucus healthcare bill provides for a tax on “gold-plated” health insurance policies. But, as with the Alternative Minimum Tax, once slated to be imposed only on the wealthy, inflation will make most Americans liable to pay the 40 percent tax in a few years. The tax applies to all individual policies with premiums above $8,750 and families of four whose premiums exceed $23,000.

This is awesome and quite true… The Day ObamaCare Died – Sung by Barack Obama Paul Shanklin

Posted on InsureBlog: Sgt Friday Has Ideas about Obamacare Two old Dragnet detectives give Obama their ideas on his attempts to dismantle our country.

Rasmussen says: What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls Sixty-six percent (66%) of voters nationwide say they’re at least somewhat angry about the current policies of the federal government. Thirty-six percent (36%) are Very Angry. Despite the high level of political anger last year that helped fuel President Obama’s election, 59% say the current level of political anger in the country is higher than it was when George W. Bush was president .

Rachel Ehrenfeld September 21st 2009 Cutting Edge contributor George Soros must be thrilled. Sixteen years after Soros began his advocacy for drug legalization and promoting “medical marijuana,” the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is venturing into the distribution and production of marijuana cigarettes. According to an August solicitation for proposals, the selected organizations will be controlled by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and will have to comply with FDA regulations.

In another desperate need to prove he is relevant, former President Bill Clinton aka St. Bill the Syphilitic, is spewing shit on the news shows about the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy .   The dems are like a dog with a fucking bone.  They make up a meme twenty years ago and are still trying to keep it alive.  According to our herpetic former Hound Dog in Chief on Meet The Press aka Sunday Morning Deep Throat a Leftist Show: Bill Clinton was asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” whether the conspiracy is still there.

While the motive behind the murder of Census worker Bill Sparkman in Eastern Kentucky remains unknown, it’s worth noting that some on the right have spent the summer railing up fears about what is supposed to be a simple, Constitutionally required, process. Exhibit A: Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann Back in June for example, Bachmann was saying that her family would refuse to answer any census questions beyond the number of people in the household: BACHMANN: The mother lode of all data information will be from the Census.

R asmussen Reports ‘ presidential approval index now stands at -10% … a three-week low, and back to double-digit negativity for Obama. In other fun polling news, Rasmussen found: Opposition to ObamaCare is at an all-time high of 56% 59% of voters believe that political anger is greater now than under George W Bush. And the resurgent GOP has lept to a four-point lead in the generic congressional ballot poll- 42% to 38%.

Liberals have oft exalted communist Cuba’s “free” health care system .  Isn’t it wonderful?  Why can’t we do that? Of course, for one thing, the “free” system in Cuba isn’t nearly so wonderful as “Sicko” Michael Moore made it in his propaganda film.  Frankly, I wouldn’t take my dog to a Cuban hospital. It isn’t just Michael Moore; CNN depicted the Cuban system as a model for America , too. Most Americans would only go to Cuba at the point of a gun.  But Obama is trying to bring Cuba to us.

  Submitted by: Doris Parker Constitutional Law as applies to OBAMACARE The following comment is from Michael Connelly of Carrollton , Texas , a retired attorney and constitutional law instructor who has read the entire health care bill and has some comments, not about the bill, but about the impact upon our Constitution .  It’s a   broader picture  than just health care reform .  Looks like something to sit up and pay attention to; once this sort of thing happens, it will be irreversible.

As Joe Guzzardi has been saying forever, it’s looking increasingly unlikely that the Obama Administration will emulate the Bush Administration’s suicidal attempts to force through an amnesty. Obamacare is causing them a big enough problem.But this just means they’ll go for a “stealth amnesty“–possibly through piecemeal legislation, but also through administrative measures like quietly abandoning enforcement.That’s exactly what Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, is now advocating.

It is not a new observation, but it is one that needs review and repeating every so often. Why do liberals always seem to get on the side of any issue concerning America’s future? Its sovereignty? Its financial security? Its defense? I think this question is particularly timely given the public discussion of Obamacare that included [...]

My friends in the Tea Party movement have launched a new project inviting all Americans to help develop a list of top ten unanswered health care questions for President Obama.Click here and vote now!***Related: Reader J.T. e-mails that nutroots Obama campaign arm Organizing for America is promoting a new contest for a 30 second video pushing health care reform. She notes: “This seems to me to be an excellent opportunity for conservative creative minds to flood the contest with videos reflecting how we feel about ObamaCare.

On an almost straight party-line vote, DEMOCRATS in the Senate Finance Committee squashed an amendment by REPUBLICAN Senator Jim Bunning that would have required Baucus’ ObamaCare bill to be posted on the Internet – for all Americans to read – for 72 hours prior to the Committee voting on it.Not only that.

Once again with Bill Clinton and now Barack Obama, it all depends on what the definition of is, is. Did every one catch what former President Bill Clinton said this morning on “Meet the Press”? Check out the video below (1:00 mark) where Clinton brings up that a debate needed to get the discussion to what their ultimate goal is, universal health care. This is a nuanced code for single payer healthcare.

Some on the Christian Left would like to pretend that they are pro-life while essentially supporting politicians and policies that are pro-abortion. (More on that general topic here .)   In this interesting article, Michael New discusses this , and sums up this way: It seems that any concerns about abortion raised by Catholic Left groups like Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good and Catholics United are nothing more than rhetorical arm-waving.

Go here to read the Top Ten Facts About the Baucus Bill. Here are just three of the ten: The tax on insurers will be passed on in the form of higher health insurance premiums, and the tax on medical devices will be passed on in the form of higher costs for everything from contact lenses to hearing aids.

The bad economic news keeps rolling in this weekend as we learn a generation of young people may have permanent scars as a result of the failed liberal stimulus bill and its moronic reliance on government jobs programs to lift this nation out of the Great Recession: The unemployment rate for young Americans has exploded to 52.2 percent — a post-World War II high, according to the Labor Dept.

Imagine if you will, that you decide to call your representative to let them know how you feel about the healthcare debate that is raging in America. Now imagine that instead of getting a switchboard operator, you hear this.

Americans are nearly 20 times more likely to die from medical care than from lack of health insurance.

Ron Paul spoke about health care reform with NPR the other day and made a point that few people have addressed; namely that there is no such thing as a “right” to health care: Host: Now one of the strongest opponents of government intervention in reforming the healthcare industry is Congressman Ron Paul, Republican of Texas. He’s known to some as “Dr. No” for his opposition to tax hikes and for his refusal to vote for spending bills.

Former President Clinton gets it wrong on “Meet the Press” this morning. There is no “right wing conspiracy,” … it is called “WE THE PEOPLE” demanding answers and holding our political leaders accountable. Hey Hill, think they’ll buy the tired line of a right wing conspiracy? Doubt it Bill, it didn’t work for me.. Politicians work for us, not the other way around. Former President Bill Clinton on “Meet the Press” this morning was asked the obligatory “right wing conspiracy” question by David Gregory when it came to the comparison of opposition to Obamacare vs.

Poor phrasing? Now how can we have “poor phrasing” from such an articulate man as Obama? Obama articulation is legendary. At least, his media he owns states that he is extremely articulate. Obama even ACTS articulate. But now Obama tells us he is not articulate. When Obama articulated that “Jerusalem … must remain undivided” he sounded superbly articulate to me. He sounded very sure of what he was saying. You just cannot trust your ears, I guess, when listening to a man so articulate as Obama.

In Canada, a move toward a private healthcare option — latimes.com BY: Kim Murphy Reporting from Vancouver, Canada – When the pain in Christina Woodkey’s legs became so severe that she could no long hike or cross-country ski, she went to her local health clinic. The Calgary, Canada, resident was told she’d need to see a hip specialist. Because the problem was not life-threatening, however, she’d have to wait about a year. So wait she did.

According to my Merriam’s dictionary definition of Sunday, it’s time for another poll to choose the Obamateurism of the Week.  Some may disagree with the eventual winner, but let me say that I will always stand with the voters who demand to be heard (except when you get in the way of my desire to suck up to foreign lunatic dictators, of course).  The idea is to get the one that best highlights the amateurism of President Whosits,  which can mean anything from taking their ball and going home to

I’m really pissed-off. Want to know why? Whether you do or not, I’m going to tell you anyway. It’s like this, did I get any money from the National Endowment for the Arts? No ! Did I get to be in on the teleconference with Buffy The Walmart Slayer Wicks? No ! Did I get asked to do art work for our Beloved Leader . No! No! And hell no! Why not? I don’t understand it. My stuff is just as good as all those so called “artist”. Well, I don’t care why.  Screw ‘em.
