Obamacare Even Worse Than We Thought

There was a puff piece in this morning's paper about Obamacare and all the good things it has for us coming due today. Nowhere in the piece were the cost increases, the exclusions or the restrictions mentioned. As this poll shows, Americans are not being fooled by this PR campaign:

The Most Important Issue to Independents

Jeffrey H. Anderson 9/22/10 Weekly Standard (Excerpts)

"What’s the one issue that independent voters most strongly demand that a candidate get right? According to a survey of 1,000 independents (and likely voters) recently conducted by Democratic pollster Douglas Schoen and commissioned by Independent Women’s Voice, the answer isn’t “national security,” “taxes,” “immigration,” “the size of government and its level of spending,” “putting a mosque near Ground Zero,” “the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,” or “the stimulus and bailouts” — all of which were listed as options. Rather, the answer is “health care reform.”

That same puff piece was in our local paper this morning. It must have been distributed by the White House to all compliant liberal newspapers.

” Even Worse Than We Thought”

I don’t think anyone here was fooled. We all KNEW it was gonna be bad.
The only way it could be worse is maybe mandating shaved heads and mass sterilization.
(But for all we know that could be in there!)

[Blood of Tyrants]

Everyone is bracing for + 20% increases in their health insurance.

It's not worse that I thought - it was wretched from the beginning and the three stooges behind it, Obama, Pelosi and Reid should have been the first hint.
