Healthcare for the Holidays

"This holiday season, millions of Americans have a chance to get quality, affordable health insurance—many for the first time. If you have family members who are uninsured, you can play a big part in helping them find coverage that works for them. It might not always seem like it, but your family listens to you. So have the talk. "

Now don't forget... (/sarc)

If my family doesn’t listen to me then where do I turn them in?

Nothing is guaranteed to blow a family dinners all to hell more than Obamabots lecturing other family members who are able to think for themselves.

You just have to be persistent... so says Michelle... and be sure to ask your guests to bring their W-2 forms — they seriously are suggesting it

Michelle Obama’s idea of Thanksgiving table talk: Push the Obamacare

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/nov/28/michelle-obamas-idea-thanksgiving-table-talk-push-/

EXCERPT:

“Among her touted topics, The Post reported: Talk about the need to sign up for Obamacare. And, ask guests to bring W2 tax forms, or pay stubs, in order to verify income levels.

Moreover, the Obamacare push shouldn’t end just because the holiday wraps, the site advises.

“Don’t forget to follow up,” is one final tip, The Post reported.”

There’s never a bad time to lie to your family because in the New World, you won’t have one.

So if you are gathering with people you know and have loved for many years and guests whose company your treasure, start today lying to them and insisting upon the truth of things that are patently false. Do not fear losing the comity you may now share with them. This is just an illusion, comrades! They can’t be relied upon when times get tough. They’ll just cut you off.

In short, alienate them. Only your government really cares about you and only your government can be relied upon to take care of your needs. Your family is just a gaggle of loosely associated beings out for their own interests. Your government, on the other hand, is always there for you and is looking out for you, the little guy.

Remember Obama’s request during the 2012 campaign for couples to forgo wedding gifts in favor of asking their guests to contribute to his campaign? The narcissist expects everyone to sacrifice on his behalf, yet he spares no expense for his own comfort and luxury.

I am old enough to remember a time when candidates campaigned for office and then win or lose go away for a time.

Every since Bill Clinton it seems we have been in campaign mode 24/7.

When will these people give us a break and just shut up for awhile?

This is a common Marxist tactic. Put a positive, soothing tone on an divisive issue so that people will grudgingly get used to it and accept it.

“Ubama can’t wait to start rounding up the dissenters.”

No — they will just use the death panels...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/11/25/a-guide-to-surviving-obamacare-debates-at-thanksgiving/

EXCERPT:

“You can reassure any elderly relatives that there is absolutely, definitely, without a doubt no death panel in the Affordable Care Act. There is an Independent Payment Advisory Board, which would be allowed to recommend payment cuts for doctors who serve Medicare patients. This board is not allowed to deny patients’ care; they only get to tinker with reimbursement rates.

On top of that, the IPAB isn’t going into effect this year—or in the foreseeable future. That’s because it only kicks in when health-care costs are growing faster than the rest of the economy, and right now they’re growing at about the exact same rate. So, at least until Thanksgiving of next year, there is no chance of any panel changing his benefits.”

This is disgusting. Who is paying for the ad they ran promoting this on TV? Propaganda, expected transparent propaganda. Good to generate a good laugh though.

Obamacare rationing coming? No doubt, analyst says

http://www.cnbc.com/id/101232526

EXCERPT:

“The independent payment advisory board, which is a big part of the Affordable Care Act that is central to cost control, is something that hasn’t been debated in a real way,” Halperin told Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, who was filling in for Larry Kudlow.

“Those decisions that are made by that board are going to lead to what I think could be described perfectly reasonably as rationing. Again, as I said, that’s built into the system. There’s going to be an effort to control costs,” he said.

When I speak of Obamacare I get so mad sometimes that I have to puke.

Please: It’s Thanksgiving, why make yourself sick speaking of this putrid attack on America’s healthcare.

Yup I just got up from a humdinger of a Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey all the extras.... and a brother and his wife, both liberal, who could not for the life of them keep civil.... I told them I would not talk politics if they would refrain from the same....What do I know I’m just an ex navy enlisted dweeb (with a masters degree) and he is a grand and glorious political hack (government worker who graduated high school). It took them 15 minutes to turn the conversation to their Idol Obummer... it took me 3 minutes to evict them from my house (Hope they enjoy their long drive back to Florida). They will never set foot inside my home again. It almost destroyed dinner, but the rest of my guests and family think I did right.
