WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is trying to rally support for his health care overhaul bill by telling Democrats that Republicans fear that the legislation will end up being popular.
In a televised meeting with House Democrats on Capitol Hill, Obama told the lawmakers that Republicans realize that once the bill becomes law, "Low and behold, nobody's pulling the plug on granny."
That was a reference to opponents' false claims last summer that the health bill would let government bureaucrats make life and death decisions.
Obama said voters would like the bill's features that take effect this year, including restrictions on insurance companies and allowing parents to keep insurance coverage for children until they reach age 26.

WHat a son of a bitch.
The guy is living in his own world.
What a LYING son of a bitch.
Republicans are afraid the bill wil be popular? The fool is desperate.

I have to say, I watched MSNBC last night and that was the mantra.... “Will Repub’s regret not going along with Health Care” like they are suddenly worried about our political future. Hysterical
All together now: Why insult SOB's?
He doesn’t LOOK like Tinkerbell but it sounds like he’s been into fairy dust......
Zer0 apparently can’t stop himself from lying.
Why won’t the dam dems just vote like zero always did, and just say present!
Sheesh!
Obtuse psy-ops
Hey Obama, repeat after me ...
“16,500 new IRS agents”
“16,500 new IRS agents”
“16,500 new IRS agents”
I knew you could do it.
Has anyone actually read this provision? Does it require that the parent's employer offer coverage to their employee's children up until the age of 26? Or, does it apply only to people who have individual plans?
If it's the former and not the latter, it's a HUGE back-door tax on employers. If it's the latter, it's going to inevitably raise premiums. Why is this so difficult to understand? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
hey b.o., F.U.b.o!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, in his case ...
Whats the difference between Barack Obama and Hugo Chavez..
Absolutely NOTHING..they are both one in the same
Inconceivable!
Oh yes bambi, the deathcare bill is so wildly popular that is why you have struggled for nearly a year to get it passed, and with a supermajority, and still have not got it passed, and have had to repeatedly bribe and threaten even to get the votes you have.
What a compleat idiot.
And “who” is the father of lies? Oh, I don’t know. Could it be ——— S A T A N !!!!
The media will trumpet this lie and his supporters will believe it. Those people who voted for him think Fox, Rush, Hannity, Beck, etc. are all liars. They’re in for a rude awakening. I hope the bastards have a good time at their grandparents early funerals.
Yeah, some people with employer provided health insurance might think they like it until their monthly paycheck deductions and co-pays start rising. The new requirements of admitting people with pre-existing conditions and having to keep adult children up to age 26 on their parents policies will see to that.
Oh yeah Obama, the bill is so damn popular, even my liberal aunt who voted for his stupid ass is terrified of this bill..so guess what ass wipe, its not only Republicans who are against this monstrosity
Actually Obama, we know it is a failure.
It's a little concerning that he wants to keep demonizing them. He has enough RATs in Congress to do whatever he wants - if they support him and his schemes.
Pray God after November the GOP will deserve his scorn.
What planet is he living on?
LOL! Barack the Kenyan is full of it.
Yes, employers as well as individual policies will be required to offer health insurance to “children” through age 26. I wonder if that includes the ‘childs’ wife and children as well.
“That was a reference to opponents’ false claims last summer that the health bill would let government bureaucrats make life and death decisions.”
He’s NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this a joke?
Based on our country's economy, our borders and standard of living, which are now cartwheeling down range out of control, I fear everyone in D.C.
He’s absolutely right! The bill gets passed and no one is pulling the plug on Granny. Of course he neglects to mention Granny won’t have coverage for FOUR YEARS while paying into and hoping she is alive to get it.
Under ObamaCare, they won't put the plug in in the first place.
The Health Choices Commissioner will decide what treatments a "qualified" health plan in the United States will be allowed to pay for, and "wasteful" spending on older people with a deemed "lower quality of life" will not be approved.
Meanwhile, gender reassignment surgery, gold-plated AIDS treatment, drug rehab treatment, sexual addiction treatment, and any other medical treatment desired by groups comprising the Left coalition will be approved by the Health Choices Commissioner for payment by qualified health plans.
0zer is still smoking crack, me thinks.
Obama is cracking up.
I’m serious. Look at him. We are watching him melt down before our eyes. It’s a frightening thing.
Whatever he’s on, I want some of it, that must be some kick ass weed, makes the person totally oblivious to everything..he must be on a serious weed trip
Granny’s plug won’t need to be pulled, the second she is denied care she will go home and die in her bed, there won’t be any need for any plug to be pulled
What in the HELL is that Kenyan squatter smoking to make him utter such total nonsense and expect anyone with more that two functioning brain cells believe it????
Pictures speak a 1000 words.
That guy is still smoking weed and crack isn’t he?
Is POTUS high or is that just the impossibly arrogant opinion of a woefully uneducated man? Seriously.... he has an earpiece and somewhere in the capitol he is getting instructions from Patrick Starfish right??
Seriously... this is way out of touch.
I fear a frickin’ 3 MONTH WAIT for a doctor’s appointment.
This is Zero’s “in your face, arrogance shtick!!”
Yes, based on Zero’s fantastic Presidency so far, we Republicans sure do regret not voting for him (sarc).
The two states in which I'm familiar, FL & OH, have similar laws, but they only include non-married dependent children. FL goes so far as to say that the children must be living at home and perhaps even in school (IIRC). OH definitely requires that the child live at home or is in school (or suffers from some medical infirmity which precludes them from working).
He will go straight from POTUS to Secretary General of the United Nations.
Neither he nor the Commies in the UN will care that it is illegal.
In his marxist dreams.
I work for a health insurer and I’m here to tell you, between the 2009 Mental Health Parity act and this obscenity your premiums are going to explode come renewal time.
If you work on a budget, I recommend doubling your estimate for your monthly premium.
As we understand it, that provision applies to all plans, both standard fully insured and employer funded health plans.
