Andy Griffith lies about Medicare on behalf of Barack Obama, costing US taxpayers. In what can only be described as an utter abuse of American taxpayer dollars, Andy Griffith (he played a fictional cop in Mayberry, like 100 years ago or something) has been lying to all the seniors on Medicare for the last few months. In an ad that is even backed by taxpayer dollars, Griffith (is he clueless or just doesn’t care anymore about being an instrument of Obama’s lying?) can be heard confidently declaring, "This year…we’ll have our guaranteed benefits. And with the new healthcare law, more good things are coming. Free checkups, lower prescription costs, and better ways to protect us and Medicare from fraud!" However, it’s all bull and is costing you tons of money, as some non-partisan fact-checkers have found out.

He’s just an old man who probably doesn’t know diddly squat about any of this and is just buying into the lies. If he had ever had to deal with medicaid or medicare he’d know that more and more doctors are refusing to take it. They will lose money big time if they do. Dr. Benishek, my new congressmen says he gets $25.00 for one of those patient but, it cost him about $50.00. If he operates on someone that has government insurance it’s even worse. He said he only get’s several hundred dollars for an emergency appendectomy. I forget the exact amounts but, I thought that’s robbery what the government was paying him. Yet he wants to help these people. But, how much is enough? It would appear to me that according to the government, I guess a doctor should only make minimum wage give or take a few dollars.
Andy, the good old sheriff of Mayberry, is a stinking liberal communist fool of the left, a useful idiot and talking head and just one of them neo nazi democrat liars who know nothing and live off their old image, a fake at that.
< They've LED my list throughout the recent 'health care reform' process -- second only to Obama and the Obamanauts (of which AARP are probably a sub-set anyway).
...but I repeat myself! [to paraphrase Mark Twain]
Like they say, there is nothing new in the world today. It’s all been invented before. I figure my strength is to use whatever ideas that are available and put them to the best use I can.
“Add them?”
Agreed. Goes without saying.
Even AARP, big booster of Deathcare, had to cut medical benefits.
I have to agree. Some of us have a happy spot in our hearts thinking back to Andy Griffith as the sheriff of Mayberry. It was a great show and he played the character perfectly. It’s sad to see him shilling for the corrupt liars. I can only think he must need the money.
He does come off as feeble and spent. One does get the impression he’s confused and is just spouting lines.
I preferred my memories of him as Sheriff Andy rather than seeing this. Maybe he really is befuddled and doesn’t understand what’s going on nor how he’s being misused.
He did look like they just stuck him out and he had no clue what he was saying.
I listened to the ad and he sounded like a senile old fool.
What irony!
I bet that he’s a Jimmiah fan!
Has anyone seen/heard the latest add designed to propaganize seniors? Something about seniors who hit the donut hole having 50% of their drug costs reimbursed under Obamacare. Anyone know if there is any truth to that?
Oops. add = ad
OLD, OLD SOCIALIST FOOL! SHUT UP we know more about DEATHCARE than YOU DO with your CADDY health care plan, that your MILLIONS can buy while the rest of us have to rely on Medicare health rationing.
I suspect in Andy's case, he's referring to death. It doesn't really matter who pays for this monstrosity if you'll be dead before it is really implemented.
Yes, I guess that gospel music CD hasn't been a big seller for him.
I just see him as an actor who was offered a commercial gig and was paid. He probably would have done a yeast infection commercial as well. Any “moron” who sees him as the Sheriff of Mayberry probably voted for O and supported O health care (IMHO).
