Here is a new GOP ad that turns the tables on the White House's claim there is a lot of "disinformation" out there about Health Care. In fact, the ad shows that it is President Obama himself and other Democrats who are putting out "disinformation." . . . . . (Watch Video)

It’s ok. Not great.

Who’s mind will be changed with it?

[Texas Fossil]

It appears the Dem’s are getting panicked. Look at what I saw this afternoon linked from “Obey My Obama”

I’m happy that the GOP is trying to point out that “disinformation” comes from the WH as well.

We need to use ads to dramatize the effects of government bureaucrats and their one size fits all policies will have on seniors. This is a critical population group. We need to make them understand that single payer will eventually end up killing them much sooner rather than later.

We might phrase this in the context of a group of policymakers and Dem congress critters sitting around discussing how to solve the coming social security and Medicare insolvencies. Discuss that the only way to avoid insolvency is to stop payouts to as many people as possible as soon as possible but the law says that the payments must be made until folks are dead.

Light bulb goes on over one of the policymakers heads!

“What if we had single payer health plans and did not spend a lot of money on cancer treatments and stuff like that for old folks? They would die quickly and we could save a lot of money that way.” One of the bureaucrats is directed to form a team to implement such a policy, making sure to include folks from Hillary’s defunct health care team as consultants.

Now show clips of Obama advocating a single payer system as the way to save money in the long run.

Just an idea to whack seniors into a state of wakefulness about what this administration has in store for them.

It's about time that the GOP got involved.

It's not bad, though there's so much good ammunition in the house bill that it would take a 2 hour infomercial to cover it all. This hits Obama hard on a single issue and that's good. You can't put too many issues in a single 30 second ad or people won't remember. This ad will be remembered.

[fishergirl]

Yep, I liked it.

[RandallFlagg]

Pretty good video. We need MORE of these, GOP...

[gwilhelm56]

That was a waste of time... Republicans don’t know how to get down and dirty... there are videos out there and audio of Der FUHRER saying he wants SINGLE PAYER. IF Rush can find it .. surely the GOP

There is much more Damning evidence out there

[Minn]

there are videos out there and audio of Der FUHRER saying he wants SINGLE PAYER

Which was exactly what was shown in this ad, right?

[Reagan69]

[outhousepatrol]

GOP should say if you are old, and especially white, you are the first to go over the cliff...In other words, way before your time.......YOU WILL DIE.........

This is the first time in years that conservatives have a BIG ADVANTAGE on an issue.....In the words of Barney Frank...DRIVE IT HOME!

[Republic]

"The GRANNIE you save may be your own" That is a good line.

Also-

"The mom or dad you save may be your own"

or

"The sick child you save may belong to you"

"Hey mommy, when they put drugs into grannie to make her go to sleep, will she feel like Rover did at the vets when we had to put him down?"

[wingnutx]

Is that from the RNC?

There’s nothing on their page about it, and I’d like to kick in a few bucks to get it on the air.

[wingnutx]

I just emailed the House Republican Conference asking if they will run the ad on TV, and how I can help support it.

Hopefully their mail widget works. It doesn’t give any feedback.

[joesjane]

I want to see an add where the dems take a bunch of elderly americans, put them on an iceberg and float them off to die. I know it would be horrible but that is exactly what they are willing to do to all of our senior citizens. Maybe it would rally the elderly.

Obama: "I Don't Want the Folks who Created the Mess to do a lot of Talking" "

Okay, then the DEMOCRATS need to shut up!!!

Lets review:

Who was it that moved Medicare Trust Funds out of the "trust box" and into the General Revenue, replacing them with Government I.O.U.s?
"In early 1968 President Lyndon Johnson [DEMOCRAT] made a change in the budget presentation by including Social Security and all other trust funds in a"unified budget." "

Who was it that expanded Medicare and Medicaid to cover many, many more people than it was originally designed to cover?

The History of Medicare

In 1965, the Social Security Act established both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare was a responsibility of the Social Security Administration (SSA), while Federal assistance to the State Medicaid programs was administered by the Social and Rehabilitation Service (SRS). SSA and SRS were agencies in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). In 1977, the Health Care Financing Administration was created under HEW to effectively coordinate Medicare and Medicaid. In 1980 HEW was divided into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The first U.S. President to propose a prepaid health insurance plan was Harry S. Truman [DEMOCRAT]. On November 19, 1945, in a special message to Congress, President Truman outlined a comprehensive, prepaid medical insurance plan for all people through the Social Security system. The plan included doctors and hospitals, and nursing, laboratory, and dental services; it was dubbed "National Health Insurance." Furthermore, medical insurance benefits for needy people were to be financed from Federal revenues.

Over the years, lawmakers narrowed the field of health insurance recipients largely to social security beneficiaries. A national survey found that only 56 percent of those 65 years of age or older had health insurance. President John F. Kennedy [DEMOCRAT] pressed legislators for health insurance for the aged. However, it wasn't until 1965 that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed H.R. 6675 (The Social Security Act of 1965; PL 89-97) to provide health insurance for the elderly and the poor.

On July 30, 1965, President Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Bill (Title XVIII and Title XIX of the Social Security Act) in Independence, Missouri in the presence of former President Truman, who received the first Medicare card at the ceremony; Lady Bird Johnson, Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, and Mrs. Truman also were present. President Johnson remarked: "We marvel not simply at the passage of this Bill but that it took so many years to pass it."

Medicare extended health coverage to almost all Americans aged 65 or older. About 19 million beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare in the first year of the program. Medicaid provided access to health care services for certain low-income persons and expanded the existing Federal-State welfare structure that assisted the poor.

The 1972 Social Security Amendments expanded Medicare to provide coverage to two additional high risk groups disabled persons receiving cash benefits for 24 months under the social security program and persons suffering from end-stage renal disease.
