Hey folks,
Let's start off this Sunday with some INSANITY. Shall we? I want to get this out of my system first thing so we can look at some more things. Did you catch Obama's Radio Address? Yeah, don't worry. No one else did either. But Reuters is reporting a couple of things he touched on. Let's look at this. According to Reuters - Health insurers "deceptive and dishonest": Obama By Patricia Zengerle Patricia Zengerle – Sat Oct 17, 11:01 am ETWASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama lashed out on Saturday against the "deceptive and dishonest" efforts of health insurance companies, who he said are trying to kill healthcare reform, no matter the cost to the country.
NO! It is YOU Obama. YOU and your CREW that will cost the Country more than another 2TRILLION Dollars in deficient. YOU. Just ask Harry Reid
Sharpening his attack on insurers, Obama also signaled support for a congressional review of the insurance industry's long-standing exemption from federal anti-trust laws. Some Democrats want the privilege repealed.
Of course They will try ANYTHING to destroy what they see as an obstacle in their way of taking over the Healthcare system.
The Democratic president's push to revamp the $2.5 trillion U.S. healthcare industry, his top domestic policy priority, received a big boost this week when the Senate Finance Committee approved its version of a reform measure with the support of Republican Senator Olympia Snowe.
Many experts expect some version of a healthcare bill will pass this year, but there are still major disagreements on details, including whether the measure will include a government-run insurance program, the "public option."
"For the first time ever, all five committees in Congress responsible for health reform have passed a version of legislation," Obama said in his weekly radio address. "As I speak to you today, we are closer to reforming the health care system than we have ever been in history."
Closer to DESTROYING our Healthcare system than any other time in history.
However, he acknowledged the overhaul still must clear significant hurdles before becoming law. "And there are still those who would try to kill reform at any cost," he said.
YUP! Like ME. And the MAJORITY of Americans that want NO PART OF THIS!
"For decades, whenever we have tried to reform the system, the insurance companies have done everything in their considerable power to stop us," Obama said.
No the AMERICAN PEOPLE!
"And they're earning these profits and bonuses while enjoying a privileged exception from our anti-trust laws, a matter that Congress is rightfully reviewing," he said.
Whatever. What about the Bonuses that Freddie and Fannie paid out? {Crickets Chirping} Hello?
BATTLE INTENSIFIED THIS WEEK
The battle over reform between angry Democrats and health insurers intensified when the industry trade group America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) issued a report on Monday, on the eve of the finance committee's vote, saying Senate healthcare legislation would lead to increases in annual insurance premiums of as much as $4,000 by 2019.
It WILL!
Democrats denied the findings, citing a report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that said the Finance Committee bill would make health coverage affordable to millions of Americans who do not have it and slow the growth of healthcare costs.
Folks, this is absolute BS. There is no other way to put it. It is not MATHEMATICALLY POSSIBLE to say it will not raise cost and decrease care. It just is not possible. Talk about being "deceptive and dishonest."
Defending insurers' position, AHIP spokesman Robert Zirkelbach said, "We are not trying to stop reform as some have suggested. We want reform that will work and can be sustained, and we are offering solutions to address the concerns."
The LWL {Left Wing Loons} do not want anything short of a complete take over. That complete take over WILL include the Public Option. Make no mistake about it. Now we have also learned that you will need to sign up for your Obamacare at the DMV, there is no way they can NOT say this is not TOTALLY Government run.
He said threats to repeal the industry's anti-trust exemption -- the McCarran-Ferguson Act, which kept regulation in the states' hands -- was "retaliation for us speaking out."
Yup!
Obama maintained, however, that the insurance industry "is rolling out the big guns and breaking open their massive war chest -- to marshal their forces for one last fight to save the status quo."
"They're filling the airwaves with deceptive and dishonest ads. They're flooding Capitol Hill with lobbyists and campaign contributions. And they're funding studies designed to mislead the American people," he said.
BULL! PROVE IT OBAMA! It is the American People who are against YOU! Not an Insurance Company revolt. Oh, I'm sure they want you to stay out of it as much as the rest of us do. But you are attempting to portray that Americans want this and it is just the Insurance Companies, either brainwashing the ignorant masses, or LEADING the ignorant masses. But the truth is, it is the INFORMED and EDUCATED Voters that you are having a problem with.
Democratic leaders in Congress began work this week on merging the various committees' proposals on healthcare while keeping party liberals and moderates -- and Snowe -- happy.
{Laughing} and Snowe
Senate Republicans demanded Democrats allow more time to debate the details of the sweeping plan. Obama has set the end of the year as his goal for passing a measure that would begin to slow increases in healthcare costs, regulate the insurance market and expand health coverage without increasing the federal budget deficit.
Screw Obama.
Health insurers' shares dropped this week after news of the finance committee's vote.
Obama vowed an overhaul will go through.
"Every time we get close to passing reform, the insurance companies produce these phony studies as a prescription and say, 'Take one of these, and call us in a decade.' Well, not this time," Obama said.
What an absolute pile of BS. No Obama, it is US saying to you "not this time." I do have Hope. Hope that America will say to you and your Crew, NO MORE in 2010.
Alright, back to sanity.
