Remember Obama Said we can 'Keep Our Doctor'? WH Says Don't Take Him
Publius' Forum ^ | 6/21/09 | Warner Todd Huston

Once again President Obama sent out his meaningless rhetoric about how, in his benevolence, we will be "allowed" to "keep our doctors" if we like them. On June 19, the Associated Press promulgated the president's "promises" as a "health plan guarantee."

The AP duly reported the baseless claims issued daily from Obama and his advocates that he isn't interested in a single payer plan and that we will be allowed to keep our current healthcare plan if we are happy with it. Further, Obama and his many mouthpieces claim they aren't trying to destroy the insurance industry and don't want it replaced with a socialist, government controlled, bureaucrat operated healthcare plan. But even the AP can't paper over the singular fact that few with any real knowledge of what Obamacare will end up fostering can believe the president's empty claims.

In the middle of the story is this:

Yes, but the previous “first black president” was kept in check by a republican congress.

In answer to your question, yes, Lyndon Johnson was a bigger liar; he was also the son of Satan, but that's a different thread.

One of the biggest threats to the single-apyer paradise that liberals want to implement is the statement repeated over and over again: "You can keep your current doctor, if you like him".

What's not added to that statement is, "Of course, if the doctor doesn't like the government insurance program, your doctor might fire you as a patient, but we'll have Teddy Kennedy drive off that bridge when we get to it."

Whenever the government uses the word “allowed”, be afraid, be very afraid. At that point, the authority is no longer “We the People”, it is “they, the government”.

You're *allowed* to keep your doctor when you're in Medicare as well ... so long as that doctor will accept assignment. Physicians who do not want to have their reasonable fee-for-service slashed, requiring them to make up the difference with non-Medicare patients, or those who refuse to go along with the gubmint having access to confidential patient records by virtue of their insurance coverage being provided by the gubmint simply opt out of assignment, they will not take Medicare patients. Those folks were not necessarily *disallowed* by law/definition, but due to gubmint inserting itself into the system, they surely LOST the care of those physicians.

I say this realizing that when the whole deal is under the gubmint umbrella, either a physician accepts the terms of the system or he doesn't hang a shingle. I'm speaking to the lie right now as things exist ... America needs to wake up and realize it won't be getting any better should we go single-payer or socialized medicine.

Regardless, once the government gets control, every manner of every aspect of healthcare and the peoples’ access to it will get progressively worse over time ... GUARANTEED.

Obama is the Worlds leading liar. I have heard him say three times in speeches that health insurence will be like the type of Congressioal folks have not universal.
That should be easy enough to roll the millions including the illegals sneaking across our borders.
He also said in campain speeches he don’t want to be only the President of the USA but the World.
Why don’t people listen to his words.
Wake up America - we are following the Pied Piper to the Kool-aide stand...

Anyone on Medicare or has Kaiser Insurance would know we never want a national healthcare system.
