Who knew?
The media will ignore these people until they die... which will be shortly without their treatment. Problem solved!
Sadly, the only thing that will help Americans understand is when tens of millions of people (with employer health insurance coverage) lose their insurance.
Let’s hope that happens early enough in 2014 to WAKE people up!
How can media make a difference in perception when every person affected has family, friends, neighbors who will see and know the truth?
How many Americans know or are related to a health care provider or someone who works in a health care institution or clinic? Will all these workers lie to protect the Dems/zer0?
Does any average person believe that “inflation is low”, “GDP is up”, “unemployment is dropping”, “the stock market is a real proxy for the economy”? Only those who still have good salaries, decent hours, a financial cushion and who do not pay management fees or taxes on their investments. And that is what percentage of America?
this morning, local paper front page news: guy gets insurance with pre-existing condition (donest go into details about how it will be paid) while on the back page:guy cant afford insurance for his family, and is going to go without
"Americans are beginning to believe the lies and love the chief liar again."
We're still in the middle of a double holiday week so I take polling with several pounds of salt. Many schools are closed, so this is a great time to visit grandma 1000 miles away -- where it's warm. Individuals with lives and families will tend to be traveling to visit friends or family, or taking vacations. Those who don't/aren't will be at home to answer the pollster. So I don't see how any of this can be real. Did they have any notable guests on the Sunday morning talk shows today? Or was it the third string? The first string is out of town. (Like Obama.)
But back to the thoughts of a resumption of leg-tingling Obamalove by the hoi palloi. There is a critical detail that's being missed by the Obamabots who are hoping all this blows over -- arithmetic. The reality is that there is just no way to fix Obamacare. The Titanic is sinking, and no matter how much duct tape they try to apply to the all the holes in the hull, it's still going to sink.
This from Forbes: "Cold comfort. The people who qualify for this exemption don’t actually want it. They want health insurance. They had affordable coverage, until ObamaCare took it away from them, and that’s what they still want now. Sebelius boasts that ObamaCare’s catastrophic plans cost 20 percent less than other ObamaCare plans, but don’t confuse that with affordable coverage. The Manhattan Institute’s Avik Roy notes that ObamaCare’s catastrophic plans can still cost twice as much as what was previously available on the individual market."
If I had young children now and tried to tell my wife that our health insurance had been cancelled, but that it was all okay because Obama waved his magic wand and forgave us and we wouldn't owe the IRS a penalty -- but we still had no health insurance, and a trip to the ER with one of the kids would cost us $2500 -- they wouldn't ever find my body.
I’m not sure they can offer details on how it will be paid. The last I read...the a/r-a/p portion of the website hadn’t been completed.
Demand that every featured “success” show their insurance card. Not just a wave-bye in front of the camera, but let us see the insurer and the Health Plan.
Then we can decide who is telling the truth and who is just a jackass braying.
Like Hitler convincing Jews that Auschwitz and Dachau were vacation retreats, ya think?
They actually marketed "Theresienstadt" as a retreat for Jews, especially for those Jews who fought for Germany during WWI. Many went there willingly.
a whole 50,000 people may have paid!
I can keep my doctor The average person believes what authority figures tell them; and one of the authority figures is the MSM. Why else would so many people go around parroting about global warming when they are up to their keasters in snow. Or consider how the Government/MSM complex ginned up poison gas attacks in Syria as the most important story... until it wasn't. People have an amazing ability to shut off their own observation skills and defer to the "experts" and it somehow never enters their conscience that there is a discrepancy in what they are told from what they observe, if they observe at all.
