I would like to point out some of the contradictions in what the President is saying in support of the healthcare reform bill and what the lawmakers are actually legislating.  My source for the following statements is defendyourhealthcare.us<\/a>:<\/font><\/font><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

“Obama says: “Nobody is talking about reducing Medicare benefits.  Medicare benefits are there because people contributed into a system.  It works.  We don’t want to change it.””<\/i><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

According to the article, as the President is saying this:<\/p>\n

“The Congressional majority wants to pay for its $1 trillion health bills with a $500+ billion cut to Medicare. This cut will come just as Medicare enrollment increases by 30%.  Less money and more patients will necessitate rationing.”<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

According the the article:<\/p>\n

Obama says: “But keep in mind – I mean this is something that I can’t emphasize enough – you don’t have to participate.  If you are happy with the health care that you’ve  got, then keep it.”<\/i><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

According to the article, as the President is saying this:<\/p>\n

Two main bills are being rushed through Congress with the goal of combining them into a finished product by August. Under either, a new government bureaucracy will select health plans that it considers in your best interest, and you will have to enroll in one of these “qualified plans.” If you now get your plan through work, your employer has a five-year “grace period” to switch you into a qualified plan. If you buy your own insurance, you’ll have less time.<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

These are only two examples of the lies being told by people who are either misinformed or trying to fool the electorate.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bloomberg.com<\/a> is reporting that the President and the Democrats are still supporting a ‘public option’ (which will eventually drive out private healthcare).  All of us need to watch carefully to see what is actually in the small print of the bill that Congress eventually puts together.<\/p>\n

It is important to remember as this debate continues that the Democrat Party controls both the House of Representatives and the Senate.  Even though the Republicans are being blamed for the fact that the healthcare bill is bogged down in Congress, they do not have the ability to block any legislature the Democrats want to pass.  If all the Democrats supported any of the healthcare reform bills, they would have passed by now.  It is also important to remember that the reason Hillary’s healthcare bill failed was that the details were made public, and the public objected.  That is why it is so diffficult to get information on what is in the healthcare bills currently proposed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
