A damning health care report generated by actuaries at the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department was given to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius more than a week before the health care vote. She hid the report from the public until a month after democrats rammed their nationalized health care bill through Congress.
The results from the report were troubling. The report released by Medicare and Medicaid actuaries shows that medical costs will skyrocket rising $389 billion 10 years. 14 million will lose their employer-based coverage. Millions of Americans will be left without insurance. And, millions more may be dumped into the already overwhelmed Medicaid system. 4 million American families will be hit with tax penalties under this new law.
Of course, these were ALL things that President Obama and Democratic leaders assured us would not happen.

The American Spectator reported, via FOX Nation:
The economic report released last week by Health and Human Services, which indicated that President Barack Obama’s health care “reform” law would actually increase the cost of health care and impose higher costs on consumers, had been submitted to the office of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius more than a week before the Congressional votes on the bill, according to career HHS sources, who added that Sebelius’s staff refused to review the document before the vote was taken.
“The reason we were given was that they did not want to influence the vote,” says an HHS source. “Which is actually the point of having a review like this, you would think.”
The analysis, performed by Medicare’s Office of the Actuary, which in the past has been identified as a “nonpolitical” office, set off alarm bells when submitted. “We know a copy was sent to the White House via their legislative affairs staff,” says the HHS staffer, “and there were a number of meetings here almost right after the analysis was submitted to the secretary’s office. Everyone went into lockdown, and people here were too scared to go public with the report.”
In the end, the report was released several weeks after the vote.
When Nancy Pelosi told America, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it,” she forgot to mention that democrats already knew what was in it. They just didn’t want the rest of the country to find out.
If we had a responsible media this would make headlines for about the next year and a half.
The number of people without health insurance will not decrease either (imo). But now the democrats will be able to impose fines on them.
blindfolds and a last cigarette for them comes to mind.

Spend... Then Tax

The only thing left really, is for opponents to start disappearing off the streets.
We aren't. It is being stolen from us by a crafty amoral enemy who has been at it for over 100 years. We have continuously defeated them on the battlefield but they have slithered into positions of power right here at home.
The first Communist Workers Party, later changed to Communist Party USA, was formed in 1907 by Julous Hammer and his son Armand. Lenin gave them plenty of money to establish a beach head here. Some of their early recruits were the Sulzberer family, publishers of the NYTimes and Senator Al Gore, Sr. of Tennessee. One of their key weapons has been, and still is, lavish cocktail parties in Washing where they schmooze with the powerful and sing their political siren's song.
They have taken over the media and the Democrat Party as well as many of our other cultural institutions. They lie as a tactic to gain power.
Have faith! I think they have finally gone a bridge too far with Obama. They continue to lie but they no longer hide their ambitions and we aren't interested. We have had enough! The Tea Party Movement is just one example.
However, it is sad to look at the rows of crosses across the Potomac in Arlington National Cemetery and think of all we have paid in blood to establish and defend our freedom only to give it to the same people we defeated in war.
Evil has an easier time of it that Good.
