If that kind of B.S. is not enough

They will now organize events at LIBRARIES where they trick people into signing petitions…

Check out this little tidbit I picked up while I posed as an interested participant:

Yes! We are getting people to sign a petition. I have given the forms to Channie Currie who will be there at Rea Road by 10 am. I briefed her on what needs to be done. I will be there close to 10 am because I coming from Independence Library after they are set up and ready to go. We cannot solicit people to sign but we can engage people into a conversation on Health Care. We will be working out of the Library’s Community Room. Thank you for participating and I’ll see Saturday. Ben Allen

So….. they hang out in the library community room and lure people in with a “discussion” and then “oh! sign this document — a petition”

these people will just trick their way into socialism… I HATE IT!

Look at all the work they go to for their “hard luck” stories:

I have converted this post into a memo for easy printing and reading.

The President hosted a health care reform town hall in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Tuesday August 11, 2009. His remarks were extensive and he took questions.

At this town hall meeting the President said:

THE PRESIDENT: (L)et me just say there’s been a long and vigorous debate about this, and that’s how it should be. That’s what America is about, is we have a vigorous debate. That’s why we have a democracy. But I do hope that we will talk with each other and not over each other — (applause) — because one of the objectives of democracy and debate is, is that we start refining our own views because maybe other people have different perspectives, things we didn’t think of.

Where we do disagree, let’s disagree over things that are real, not these wild misrepresentations that bear no resemblance to anything that’s actually been proposed.

In the spirit of informed and vigorous debate, let’s look at what the President said about the pending legislation at yesterday’s Portsmouth town hall. This post is a compilation of a series of 20 posts I made beginning Wednesday, August 11th.

1. The President’s overpromise that everyone can keep their health plan

THE PRESIDENT: Now, let me just start by setting the record straight on a few things I’ve been hearing out here — (laughter) — about reform. Under the reform we’re proposing, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.

And yet here is what CBO said about the House bill:

CBO: In addition, CBO and the JCT staff estimate that nearly 6 million other people who would be covered by an employment-based plan under current law would not have such coverage under the proposal. That figure includes part-time employees, who could receive subsidies via an exchange even though they have an employer’s offer of coverage, and about 3 million people who would not have an employer’s offer of coverage under the proposal. Firms that would choose not to offer coverage as a result of the proposal would tend to be smaller employers and those that predominantly employ lower-wage workers—people who would be eligible for subsidies through the exchanges—although some workers who were not eligible for subsidies through the exchanges also would not have coverage available through their employers. Whether those changes in coverage would represent the dropping of existing coverage or a lack of offers of new coverage is difficult to determine. (p. 5)

According to CBO, the President’s statement is incorrect for a portion of these 6 million people who as a result of the House bill would lose employment-based coverage they would otherwise have under current law. Some of those 6 million people would lose the opportunity to get employment-based coverage, while others would “represent the dropping of existing coverage.” CBO reached similar conclusions. Here is a more detailed explanation of this problem that I wrote for an earlier draft of the Kennedy-Dodd bill, under which 10 million people would not have lost the health plan they would otherwise have under current law. CBO dialed this number down to 3 million for a later draft of Kennedy-Dodd.

This is an inevitable consequence of moving away from a system that is so heavily biased toward higher subsidies for employment-based coverage. My preferred plan would have a similar effect. Nonetheless, the President is overpromising, at least relative to CBO’s view of the House bill.

On the side, as an MD, and by MD I mean I have a diploma on my wall that reads Doctor of Medicine and earn money to pay my bills and increasing taxes by you know seeing patients, I am furious that the president would send an imposter to represent my profession. I sacrificed my 20′s to get to where I am and lost a lot of sleep caring for those who don’t have insurance. He has no right to make a mockery of this great profession by sending in someone who has no idea what it takes to be a physician.

Our guys (OH) have taken to just not having Town Halls anymore – it just isn’t working out for them well at all.

And they are getting the mail/calls/emails to know it is about 1000 to 1 – they just don’t want to have to see & hear it – so that in Sept they can claim – they didn’t know that the majority of their constituents were against it. . .

After all, we have a POTUS who may not be American citizen and, if he is, certainly doesn’t like his country.

He just pretends he does.
