Shift: Obama Will Make 'Emotional and Moral Appeal' for Health Bill (Sob Stories Coming)

President Barack Obama, trying to regain control of the health-care debate, will likely shift his pitch in September, White House and Democratic officials said, as he faces pressure from supporters to talk more about the moral imperative to provide health insurance to all Americans.

The rethinking comes amid a struggle by the White House to clarify its view on a public insurance plan, which liberals see as a critical part of a health overhaul.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Sunday that a public plan isn't the "essential element" of a health bill, prompting sharp words from liberal groups.

Socialism is immoral.

Is he gonna CRY like Hillary did???

[Candor7]

I guess we will see an Obama Version of James Brown's "Please, Please."

[MrB]

When democRats start showing me receipts
for the health insurance that they’ve
bought for a stranger, we’ll start
taking them seriously in their appeal to
our good nature.

Otherwise, we understand that they don’t
really give a damn about anything other
than controlling people.

[frogjerk]

Socialism is immoral.

Amen!

[henkster]

More Potemkin Town Halls; lies posing as heart-rending tales of woe.

[GoCards]

So we will be racists and heartless. Just Damn.

‘Is he gonna CRY like Hillary did???’

Zero’s going to launch a new offensive in September, after the townhalls are over and when us ‘mobsters’ no longer have public forums to refute his idiocy. It won’t work.

One thing I try to remember about any waffling healthcare sweet talk from the obamanation socialist/commie regime.

the federal Government DOES NOT work in “partnership” with anyone. All this talk about “co-ops” is plan old dung. it is a way to get the camel’s nose into the tent.

>>> Socialism is immoral. <<<

Ya beat me to it.

Also, plotting to give free health insurance to 25 million++ illegal aliens by stealing it from American citizens is immoral.

[phormer phrog phlyer]

Repackaging continues.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Cry me a river Obango!......SHOVE OBAMACARE!

[GoCards]

You are already seeing liberal pastors and faith commentators all over CNN and MSNBC today esp. that freak Rick Sanchez. Of them all he is the worst, hate him.

[Yosemitest]

We know it's about control.
But DEMOCRATS NATIONAL SOCIALISTS can't handle the truth about health care.
So let's beat them to death with their own bill!!!

And just in case they forget who's fault it is ... that it's broken ...

Obama: "I Don't Want the Folks who Created the Mess to do a lot of Talking" "

Okay, then the DEMOCRATS need to shut up!!!

Lets review:

Who was it that moved Medicare Trust Funds out of the "trust box" and into the General Revenue, replacing them with Government I.O.U.s?
"In early 1968 President Lyndon Johnson [DEMOCRAT] made a change in the budget presentation by including Social Security and all other trust funds in a"unified budget." "

Who was it that expanded Medicare and Medicaid to cover many, many more people than it was originally designed to cover?

The History of Medicare

In 1965, the Social Security Act established both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare was a responsibility of the Social Security Administration (SSA), while Federal assistance to the State Medicaid programs was administered by the Social and Rehabilitation Service (SRS). SSA and SRS were agencies in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). In 1977, the Health Care Financing Administration was created under HEW to effectively coordinate Medicare and Medicaid. In 1980 HEW was divided into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The first U.S. President to propose a prepaid health insurance plan was Harry S. Truman [DEMOCRAT]. On November 19, 1945, in a special message to Congress, President Truman outlined a comprehensive, prepaid medical insurance plan for all people through the Social Security system. The plan included doctors and hospitals, and nursing, laboratory, and dental services; it was dubbed "National Health Insurance." Furthermore, medical insurance benefits for needy people were to be financed from Federal revenues.

Over the years, lawmakers narrowed the field of health insurance recipients largely to social security beneficiaries. A national survey found that only 56 percent of those 65 years of age or older had health insurance. President John F. Kennedy [DEMOCRAT] pressed legislators for health insurance for the aged. However, it wasn't until 1965 that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed H.R. 6675 (The Social Security Act of 1965; PL 89-97) to provide health insurance for the elderly and the poor.

On July 30, 1965, President Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Bill (Title XVIII and Title XIX of the Social Security Act) in Independence, Missouri in the presence of former President Truman, who received the first Medicare card at the ceremony; Lady Bird Johnson, Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, and Mrs. Truman also were present. President Johnson remarked: "We marvel not simply at the passage of this Bill but that it took so many years to pass it."

Medicare extended health coverage to almost all Americans aged 65 or older. About 19 million beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare in the first year of the program. Medicaid provided access to health care services for certain low-income persons and expanded the existing Federal-State welfare structure that assisted the poor.

The 1972 Social Security Amendments expanded Medicare to provide coverage to two additional high risk groups disabled persons receiving cash benefits for 24 months under the social security program and persons suffering from end-stage renal disease.

Increasing the suffering of an elder American
in order to provide “free” healthcare to an
illegal immigrant is immoral.

[vox_freedom]

Well, I had a hang nail once that refused to heal, and the medical establishment and the insurance industry could care less. We need the Federal government to step in and make sure that this never again happens to anyone else in America.
