No Obamacare. Here’s why:
December 4, 2009
No Obamacare. Here’s why:
No healthcare reform that causes insurance premiums to increase.
No healthcare reform that is going to result in any rationing that is forced on people.
No healthcare legislation that increases anyone’s taxes. No tax increase.
No healthcare reform that covers illegal immigrants.
No healthcare reform that cuts benefits to medicare.
No healthcare reform that spends medicare savings on anything but making medicare solvent.
No healthcare bill that was “negotiated” behind closed doors.
No healthcare bill that involves even the appearance of deals with special interests (SEIU, PHARMA, AARP, AMA… Louisiana Senators…
No healthcare reform that will cover abortions. Don’t even THINK of forced sterilizations.
No healthcare reform that forces people to buy anything. health insurance or anything else.
No Healthcare reform bill that has a “Public Option,” or “cop-op” or path to one.
I’ll make a case below:
Read on (links indicated by color):
The Costs Of ObamaCare
Premiums for individuals and small businesses will soar under the Senate health reform bill, an industry-funded study predicts.
No. Wait. It was supposed to cost less. The reason why we needed to act NOW was because if we didn’t healthcare would “skyrocket.” Alright. No healthcare reform that causes insurance premiums to increase.
ObamaCare Is All About Rationing
Although administration officials are eager to deny it, rationing health care is central to President Barack Obama’s health plan. The Obama strategy is to reduce health costs by rationing the services that we and future generations of patients will receive.
Huh? Alright, no healthcare reform that is going to result in any rationing that is forced on people.
The White House Council of Economic Advisers issued a report in June explaining the Obama administration’s goal of reducing projected health spending by 30% over the next two decades. That reduction would be achieved by eliminating “high cost, low-value treatments,” by “implementing a set of performance measures that all providers would adopt,” and by “directly targeting individual providers . . . (and other) high-end outliers.”The president has emphasized the importance of limiting services to “health care that works.” To identify such care, he provided more than $1 billion in the fiscal stimulus package to jump-start Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) and to finance a federal CER advisory council to implement that idea.
SNEAKY!!!
The Baucus Bill Is a Tax Bill
Middle-class families would get hit with a double-digit increase in their marginal tax rate.
Middle-class tax increase??? I thought under Obama’s plan… no. Wait. That was before the election. Alright. No healthcare legislation that increases anyone’s taxes. No tax increase.
Obamacare Could Cover 1 Million Illegals
Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants could receive health care coverage from their employers under the bills winding their way through Congress, despite President Obama’s explicit pledge that illegal immigrants would not benefit.
Was Joe Wilson was right? Obama said healthcare reform did not cover illegal immigrants. No healthcare reform that covers illegal immigrants.
CBO: Obamacare Cuts Your Medicare Benefits
President Barack Obama has promised Americans on multiple occasions that his health care plan would not cut benefits for Medicare enrollees. For example, on August 11th Obama promised: “I just want to be clear, again: Seniors who are listening here, this does not affect your benefits. This is not money going to you to pay for your benefits; this is money that is subsidizing folks who don’t need it.”
We pointed out at the time that Obama’s statement is simply not true.
Now, now, now… he also said illegal immigrants weren’t covered, and he said it wasn’t a government takeover of healthcare and illegal immigrants would not be covered and he said he visited 57 states… uh…
No healthcare reform that cuts benefits to medicare. He said that he could eliminate $500 billion of waste without cutting benefits. Ok. Do it, and use the saving to make medicare solvent. No healthcare reform that spends medicare savings on anything but making medicare solvent.
I suppose all this is done out in the open?
Senate Moderates Hold Key to Health Care’s Fate

WAIT a minute. What is the URL of that news article?

The headline used to be closer to:

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. OK. No healthcare bill that was “negotiated” behing closed doors.
Comcast-NBC Deal: Does the Merger’s Approval Rest on Health Care?
A day, one single day, after the two media giants announced their deal, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts proudly weighed in to strongly support the Senate Democrats’ health care reform bill.[...]
The administration has made numerous pronouncements about their desire to limit consolidation, to demand internet transparency, to fight cross-ownership of media outlets and to “reinvigorate” anti-trust enforcement they claim the Bush White House ignored. Initial business media reports predicted a regulatory “gauntlet” stood in the way of the deal and that the process would be “a test of the Obama administration’s resolve to fight media consolidation.”
So if you are about to march into the lion’s den it makes perfect sense to toss a side of beef in beforehand. The White House has shown itself willing to sell out to any special interest willing to help them slather lipstick on the health “reform” pig. They cut deals with friend and foe alike, knowing that they need all the help they can get to contravene the will of the American public to take over one sixth of the nation’s economy. [...]
The point (that is seemingly being made on a daily basis) is that this administration promised, ad nauseum, that they would be different, unprecedented, if you will, in their level of integrity, transparency and overall sanctimony, and so far, they have come up short rather consistently.
Will the sycophancy of Roberts and Immelt usher in smooth sailing for this deal? Will the Democrats level the scathing attacks we would expect were they still in the minority? Will they stand up for their (misguided, anti-free market, pro-government control) principles or will they sell out cheap, like they have on cap and trade, health care, Afghanistan and other issues when the special interests come calling with an offer of friendship? Stay tuned to one of Comcast’s five hundred channels to see.
No healthcare bill that involves even the appearance of deals with special interests (SEIU, PHARMA, AARP, AMA… Louisiana Senators…
The New $300 Million Louisiana Purchase on the Backs of Tax Payers … How Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La.) Vote was Bought for Obamacare ).
WASHINGTON – The fate of President Obama’s health care overhaul is in the hands of a dozen or so political moderates in the Senate. What makes it unpredictable is that they don’t agree on two critical issues — abortion and whether to allow the government to sell insurance in competition with private insurers.
OK, so what about abortion? No healthcare reform that will cover abortions. Don’t even THINK of forced sterilizations.
A “God-Given Right to an Abortion.”
Apparently, they held an anti-Stupak rally yesterday in D.C. in an effort to sway the Senate’s deliberations on Obamacare. You may not have heard about it because no almost no one came. In any event, at this rally, some sad excuse for an alleged Christian minister made the following statement:
“Don’t let anybody tell you that religious people don’t support choice,” [Carlton] Veazy said, according to CNS News. “You not only have a constitutional right for abortion, but you have a God-given right.”
Reid stripped Stupak language from Senate ObamaCare bill
But the replacement of Stupak’s clear and unmistakable ban with the weasel-worded Section 1303 may be enough to sway moderates like Ben Nelson of Nebraska, even if it doesn’t sway Stupak himself. Democrats will insist that the two sections are functionally equivalent — and I suspect the media will be happy to help them with that in order to get political cover for a yes vote in the Senate. It’s a sleight-of-hand that has a decent chance of succeeding as long as people don’t compare the two clauses and see the differences for themselves.
SNEAKY!
Anyone in the White House have an opinion?
Obama’s Science Czar Considered Forced Abortions, Sterilization as Population Growth Solutions
President Obama’s “science czar,” John Holdren, once floated the idea of forced abortions, “compulsory sterilization,” and the creation of a “Planetary Regime” that would oversee human population levels and control all natural resources as a means of protecting the planet — controversial ideas his critics say should have been brought up in his Senate confirmation hearings.
REALLY????
“Compulsory sterilization,” “forced abortions.” Huh. I’m wondering… fewer people, fewer doctor bills, right?
I know. Unbelievable. Nobody would do that. Not even communists, right?
A Coalition to Combat Forced Abortion and Sexual Slavery in China
China’s population control program, called the “One Child Policy,” is enforced through coercive measures including forced abortion and forced sterilization.
What, ya think there are commies in the White House? That’s crazy!
Van Jones the Communist
I assume that you know by now that the president’s “green czar,” Van Jones, has resigned. Jones had come to prominence by merging environmentalism with grievance politics. Pollution, he maintained, is somehow intrinsically racist.
When he was appointed to his czar status, the mainstream media (MSM) did not find it worth reporting that Jones is, by his own description, a communist. The event he says turned him into a full-fledged communist was the beating of Rodney King by white police. He was not similarly moved, apparently, by the recent beating of black conservative Kenneth Gladney by SEIU union members at a town hall meeting.
Regardless, it’s fascinating that a self-avowed communist could be appointed to a top presidential position without notice.
You would think so. Bill Ayers…
What’s the “Public Option?” It’s a Path To Single Payer…
No Healthcare reform brl that has a “Public Option,” or “cop-op” or path to one.
So, Congress should promote and safeguard the freedom of citizens they represent. They should be restricted by the Constitution.
Buy Health Insurance or Go To Jail?
Looks like President Obama is declining to support the provision in the House health care bill that could send people people to jail if they don’t purchase health insurance or pay a penalty. From ABC News:
No healthcare reform that forces people to buy anything. health insurance or anything else.
It’s woth noting that:
At least one thing came through with complete clarity in my conversation with MIT’s Gruber: Obamacare does nothing to halt Medicare’s rapid march towards insolvency. Much of the public labors under a number of false impressions about Obamacare, one of which is that all the so-called cost controls of Obamacare and the massive cuts to Medicare will somehow work to keep the senior citizen healthcare program solvent when in fact they won’t do anything of the sort. All of the debate and all of the effort are bringing forth only a massive new entitlement program with no fix whatsoever for the deeply broken health care entitlement programs that already exist.
