Obama Lied: Health Care Died

In 2009, Obama addressed a joint session of Congress to lay out his program for health care. He unflinchingly told the assembled elected officials one whopper after another, amid a rising chorus of boos and loud grumbling. It got to be too much for Congressman Joe Wilson, of South Carolina, who shouted, "You lie!" to the president as the latter was speaking. Both political parties roundly condemned Wilson for his outburst. He was called a racist, of course, among other things, and he later apologized for his indiscretion. But Joe Wilson was right on the money.

Obama lied to the American people when he said that under ObamaCare, the cost for health care would not go up. He said that the middle class would not spend "a single dime" in increased taxes to pay for it, that ObamaCare would actually reduce the federal deficit by the cost savings it would create, that you could keep your current doctor, and that 30 million more people would have health care coverage. None of this was true. And Obama knew that when he made all these claims.

The facts are that Obama and his Democratic Party comrades fudged the numbers, engaged in enormously fraudulent accounting tricks, double-counted Medicare funds, dissembled about what ObamaCare would really entail ("We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."), and completely misinformed Congress and the public about the scope and impact of these new laws and entitlement programs.

Joe Wilson was dead right, and Obama hasn’t stopped lying yet.

Our Government is as corrupt as they come.

Joe Wilson was WRONG.
He apologized. That made him wrong. It made him just another politician because he knew the truth, spoke the truth, then lost his spine and apologized for being right....

It is ironic that the first ‘black’ president will be responsible for more torture and killing than any other human being who ever lived.

Rationing health care is torture in its worst form.

Millions of Americans will be given aspirin or other placebos and sent home to suffer.

Millions of Americans will die from lack of treatment.

Hundreds of millions will die world wide because US drug companies will be squeezed on pricing, and will not be able to invest in research for new drugs to combat infectious agents that become immune to the old drugs.

Hi radioone!

Thanks for posting my article.

At the end of the piece I talk about what Obama’s true agenda is with ObamaCare. It isn’t about health care and never was: it’s all about using health care as the vehicle to transform the USA into a socialist state.

But in the meanttime Obama has created courtroom battlegrounds all over the country and screwed up the best health care system in the world. And the press lets him get away with it all.

We’ve got a fight on our hands.
