Blue Dog Democrat Caught Red-Handed

One of the so-called 'conservative, blue-dog' Democrats has been caught red-handed in a bare-faced lie concerning the healthcare bill a House committee approved just prior to the August recess.

These guys must now be taking lessons from Nancy Pelosi, which is odd, given that Pelosi's approval numbers are dismal.

Note that Ross claims that in the final version of the bill there will be no public option that is required of all citizens. Nice job of deflection, there, Congressman. In other words, the public option WILL be part of the final bill, but no one will be 'forced to choose it.'

Actually the bill says that people can keep their existing healthcare, HOWEVER, it must provide the minimum coverage that a public option provides PLUS it can NEVER change PLUS it is CLOSED TO FUTURE POTENTIAL ENROLLEES.

So your health plan will last just long enough till the company you work for dumps it because it is no longer cost effective and BOOM! You're on the "public option".

These Democrats are certainly a Communist bunch.

It seems that all the democrats need reporting since they are disseminating disinformation on the government run health care bill debacle. We need to flood flag@whitehouse with their own lies and see if they correct them.

“Note that Ross claims that in the final version of the bill there will be no public option that is required of all citizens.”

Well, technically, he’s right. Congress will be exempted...so not ALL citizens will be required to have the public option.
