Insurance companies aren't sending out cancellation letters, they're helping people "transition" into Obamacare, according to a top Democrat.

"If [the companies] changed [the insurance plans] then they have to notify the people who have to have the opportunity to have another policy," said House Ways and Means Committee ranking member Sander Levin, D-Mich.

Liberals use words very well in their war against liberty.

Example: pro-abortion = pro-choice
I’ve had libs get very angry with me when I said the correct word. Same with “illegal alien”.

And when you are fired from your job because of the bad economy, you are actually just being transition into a new and exciting world of exploration for new and as yet undiscovered entrepreneurial opportunities.

Now you're catching on Comrade! And what a glorious transformational society we will become! If anyone stands in the way of the regime, they will be considered a counter revolutionary and be dealt with accordingly...say, a letter or visit from your friendly I.R.S agent, to 'correct' their thinking.

“Liberals use words very well in their war against liberty.”

Amen to that. The latest examples is all the “conservatives’ from “conservative organizations” now pushing Congress hard for Amnesty.

I wouldn’t mind hearing our side make use of words such as “Socialism”, “Central-Planning” and “Totalitarianism” a bit more often.

Two things. One, having one’s insurance cancelled doesn’t necessarily shift him into the exchanges, because the exchanges aren’t actually working right now. And even when a sucker eventually logs in, he’s quite likely to cut and run when he sees his rates and deductibles on the charts.

Two, lots of folks are just going to opt out, maybe pay the penalty, and find some other way of getting care.

Leaving only the low income and the ill to suck taxpayer money off of the exchange accounts. Briefly.

This like saying, “What you have isn’t actually cancer; it’s a transition to the wonderful world of chemotherapy.”

It’s like saying,

“I wasn’t fired. I was just transitioning to better job!”

Cancellation is actually Transition. So is impeachment.

If an otherwise legal contract is declared illegal by the government, then the government cancelled the contract. It makes no difference what kind of feces is spread across the pages of the document, facts are facts.

Yep, we’re in Orwell’s 1984, or Alice in Wonderland. Words don’t mean anything. Words mean whatever liberals such as Obama and his henchmen want them to mean........

Wow! How helpful!

I, too, wish to be helpful!

I am offering to help transition this fine fellow into an delightful avian-based Halloween costume with the assistance of wonderful petroleum components, and give him free, luxurious transportation on an aged wooden product that WE PERSONALLY will be happy to put our shoulders against! Huzza! Huzza!

Yeah, then a gun is not a murder weapon, just a transition into the afterlife.

Blazing f###ing Nazis.

It will be called a larger, better house, but in reality it will be a run down shack with no indoor plumbing infested with rats.
