Sebelius: 'Scare Tactics Are Being Used Which May Actually Prevent People From Getting Healthy'
CNS News ^ | 9/23/13 | Penny Starr

(CNSNews.com) – Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the Florida governor is using “scare tactics” that can hurt people’s health by not allowing so-called navigators to set up shop in a county health building to enroll people in health insurance exchanges mandated by Obamacare, according to National Public Radio.

"It's unfortunate that scare tactics are being used which may actually prevent people from getting healthy in the first place," Sebelius said Sept. 18 on NPR’s “Morning Edition.”

Gov. Rick Scott, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty met in August about how the $54 million Navigator program would operate in the state, according to a Sept. 14 article in The American Thinker.

Deputy Health Secretary C. Meade Grigg issued the order to 60 health departments across the state banning the navigators and authorizing clinic employees to give patients who ask a brochure about Obamacare enrollment, the article stated.

"It remains to be seen whether the information that people will provide to give navigators assistance is safe," McCarty said in a statement about the results of that meeting. "The information given by applicants will be shared by the Health and Human Services and other federal agencies, including the Social Security Administration, Homeland Security and the Internal Revenue Service."

Liberty, she died when the ACA was passed, i.e. "as the Secretary shall determine."

She was born in Ohio, I believe -- daughter of Democrat Gov. Jack Gilligan, a JFK-style liberal.

Cincinnati doesn't claim her, either...

This woman needs help, NOW! Besides being out of her mind, I saw a picture of her the other day in which she looked like the alien invader peering out his ship’s window in a 1950’s scifi film.

Same inhuman stare and desire for conquest.

The Queen of Abortion and the Empress of Death Panels.

The woman is a creature of death.

Funny thing, for the last 40 years, those people who didn't care about their own health, but considered many other things to have priority over their budget, alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, big screen TVs, fancy cell phones, expensive athletic shoes, etc. They didn't care about the consequences and neither, properly, did anyone else. Their choice, our choice.

Suddenly, the health needy are coming out of the woodwork, and the "disabled" are multiplying like rabbits. Since they didn't exist in such astronomical numbers before, they can only have come from space; space aliens.

Remarkably, the health of most American residents deteriorated seriously, since the first hint of Obamacare became news.

To paraphrase, "Create a freebie, and they will come..."

Does she mean the Government is taking over responsibility for our health. She believes that?

The more elderly and frail we kill off, the healthier society will be. Think how little health care spending we will have to do when no one is sick. Shut Up and Die Act in full force.

You know, these people talk away and lie their faces off, and I guess the peons believe them ...until.... they get their friggin’ cancellation letter!!! Like we just got!

The premium plan we belonged to is being converted to a much lesser plan, for the SAME price and with an “Affordable Care Act” fee added on top!

I’m really pretty mad right now.

Like this?
about 2 min and it tells about a family in Kentucky whose insurance bill for the family was around 300 and in 2014 it will triple to 900 / month.

Off topic but Carl Cameron stated on the same show that Lois Lerner had been on UNpaid leave since May.

Of course Faux News just let slide.
