He truthfully said that it was important to make the workings of Obamacare non transparent. But why? Who benefited? The answer becomes clearer later when Obama and other Democrat leaders were able to openly lie about keeping your doctor and health care plan. Few could refute them because not enough people knew what was in Obamacare. Palin sounded a warning and was immediately set upon by the boot lickers in the MSM. Betsy Mccaughey knew what was in it but the MSM couldn't have cared less.
