There is widespread fury at the lies which were used to sell ObamaCare, a more than 2,000-page piece of legislation no one read before it was passed, a law opposed by the majority of voters which was crammed down our throats without a single Republican vote. The law essentially was a mishmash blank slate which left it to the administration's HHS head, Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to write as she pleased and the president to -- by Executive order -- pay off with exemptions and special treatment those cronies and rent seekers not already paid off in the legislative and regulatory process.
Whether this law will continue to pass judicial scrutiny remains to be seen, but what is obvious at this early date is that the press and the public figures who promoted it are lying low as the tsunami of voter rage builds.
If your only source of news is the major media, here are some facts they've kept from you:
1. Since July 2010 the Administration knew that at a minimum 40-67% of private health insurance owners would not be able to keep their insurance.
NBC's Lisa Myers broke the story, but both on air and in its published account NBC went to great lengths to bury her account of events that makes the president's repeated pre-election promise that if you liked your insurance you'd be able to keep it an outrageous bald-faced lie.
Here was her original report:
President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.

Early date? Really? early?
I am surprised how Leno has mocked Obamacare. BTW, one Obama supporter actually blamed the GOP for the disaster, said by opposing it, they made those involved “nervous.” What an idiotic comment.
Ron Fournier reports the White House is getting incoming from party officials:
"Dem Party is F****d." That was the subject line of an email sent to me Sunday by a senior Democratic consultant with strong ties to the White House and Capitol Hill.
Oh, yeah. Radical republicans engineering a denial of service attack, that is unbelievably the best they can do. The real antagonizers are probably still in shock. lol
FOR WEEKS, I’VE BEEN wondering why no one is talking about how Republicans sabotaged the ACA rollout by refusing to implement state run marketplaces, and thus unexpectedly forcing all of that additional burden on to the federal website.
More people have LOST health insurance coverage, than were ever supposed to be helped by enacting this monstrosity. How many did not have coverage before? “46 million uninsured” was the number being bandied about.
That means, then, that some 264 million, or so, already had some coverage, at a level acceptable to themselves. If 40% get knocked off their current coverage, that would be about 105 million or so, who have now either lost coverage, or are on a much reduced and unsatisfactory plan, underinsured, so to speak.
As a plan to “provide health insurance coverage”, Obamacare is a miserable failure, as the quality of care must in turn be negatively affected by two factors - there were already not enough doctors to cover what almost surely would be a much increased demand, and as a part of the “bargaining”, medical professionals would be given a MUCH smaller compensation for services rendered. A young prospective medical student might just say, to blazes with this, I could do better as an auto mechanic. And even older established medical professionals would be inclined to say, time to change careers, I have done the humanitarian thing.
The whole corps of medical professionals will decline at rates which may only be expressed as a “negative exponential” rate, declining in real numbers at an accelerating rate over time, as the few remaining either die off, or the applications to medical schools dry up completely.
Doctors are people too, they are not just some automatons who will practice medicine regardless, like some kind of worker bee.
Have at least as much regard for the medical profession as this regime has been willing to shower upon SEIU.
You must like Obama lying to you?
I would start running, “do you really want these idiots to control your healthcare? “ ads. Put the picture of the democrat who voted for it on the picture. Run them all over the country.
For the primaries, modify it a bit and put the RINO’s picture on the ad.
YOU must like Obama’s lies?
I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner with my liberal relatives. If anyone complains about their health insurance vanishing, I’m going to tell them to shove a turkey leg up their you-know-what and this is what they voted for.
I do not suffer idiots.
Sorry, thought you were a liberal.
My Bad.
Really ? That excerpt was from an article I came across on a liberal site to illustrate the point. 1,000% removed from my views personally.
If you look at the comments from most Canadians online, they don't want doctors to be in it "to get rich." They want their salaries to be cut so that they'll know their doctors really care about helping them and aren't just in it for the money. Great socialist logic, isn't it? Reward someone for, say, bagging your groceries but make sure you don't reward people for doing the most important jobs. They don't understand capitalism and have things completely backwards. And I think our domestic socialists see things the same way.
I hear you and think that may be happening at many holiday gatherings this year.
In the 26 GOP states they can say they never wanted Obamacare so why on earth would they build an exchange?
And now they will be vindicated because everyone sees what a boondoggle it is.
Be prepared for them to be be fully armed with stock replies:
1. It's the evil insurance companies' fault
2. It's the evil TEA party's fault
3. It's the evil Republicans' fault
4. Only the crappy plans are being cancelled
5. Almost everyone is getting better, more affordable plans now
6. You can't believe everything Fox News tells you
7. I'm not talking to you any more because you're racist
Yeah, Sorry, My Bad. Read the post to quickly.
Liberals use the homosexual clap trap play book and they will get the AIDS of health care as a result.
the claim of the homosexual to his partner is love while in fact it is self alienation, jealousy and hate of anyone around their lust prizes that is attack. Thus it loves AIDS in the end and passing it.
Liberals, in their childlish little girl hate, are going converted and falling in the snares of communism. They will rationalize it away like Saul, cursing all the inheritence altogether.
