Today, CNN ran a story about how people die from not having health insurance. For starters, that’s usually a personal choice. Here in Indiana for example you have Hoosier Healthwise for kids, and the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) for adults. Both are very low cost subsidized plans. Participants in HIP pay between 2% and 5% of their gross family income. Most states have similar programs.
Here’s how CNN spins Obama’s lies. Yes, he’s a liar.
Dr. Tom Hayhurst former and future candidate for Congress, 3rd District
“I like the president’s emphasis on the character of our country. I went to medical school because I wanted to take care of people when they get sick. We have millions of people going bankrupt, and the death rate from breast cancer is greater if people don’t have health insurance. We need to somehow make sure all people have health care. The president laid out his plan. In many ways it was rational. He said he was willing to talk to legislators on both sides of the aisle. That’s very good. I hope they take that to heart and don’t keep saying no to any plan that may come along.”
I subscribe to the DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) emails. I just received this from Jon Vogel, DCCC Executive Director.
Heckling the President is Unacceptable
Last night as President Obama addressed a joint session of Congress on the need for health insurance reform, Republican Congressman Joe Wilson of South Carolina actually screamed out “you lie” on the House floor in front of the full Congress and the entire nation.
“It’s worth noting that a strong majority of Americans still favor a public insurance option of the sort I’ve proposed tonight. But its impact shouldn’t be exaggerated — by the left, the right, or the media. It is only one part of my plan, and shouldn’t be used as a handy excuse for the usual Washington ideological battles,” Obama said.
No, the majority doesn’t support a public option. What has this guy been reading?
Obama also said he backs health insurance mandates, saying Americans should be required to get health insurance just like they’re required to have auto insurance. Big flip-flop since he was opposed to this during presidential campaign last year.
At the healthcare rally I helped organize last month, one of the left-wing loons was carrying a sign that read, “healthcare is a civil right.”
There’s a major flaw in that thinking. Healthcare does not exist without the labor of others, and you have no “right” to the labor of others. Well, unless you believe in the Marxist Doctrine.
Tonight, Pres. Obama is giving a speech on healthcare reform to a joint session of Congress. Undoubtedly, it will be “historic,” at least to the nighttime staff at MSNBC. It probably is the first time that a president has delivered a major speech to children two days in a row.
The loons over at MSNBC are tossing out the race card again. It seems that if you disagree with Obama, you’re a racist. If you a southerner, you’re a racist.
