Obama Pretty Blatantly Lies About Single Payer at New Hampshire Town Hall

Obama Pretty Blatantly Lies About Single Payer at New Hampshire Town Hall

"I have not said that I am a supporter of a single-payer system," Obama tells the crowd in New Hampshire.

The Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire, August 19, 2008: "Obama Touts Single-Payer System for Health Care":

Barack Obama said he would consider embracing a single-payer health-care system, beloved by liberals, as his plan for broader coverage evolves over time.

“If I were designing a system from scratch, I would probably go ahead with a single-payer system,” Obama told some 1,800 people at a town-hall style meeting on the economy.

INCREMENTALISM.

The same thing Ronald Reagan said about Socialized Medicine 50 years ago.

If you don't want to be lied to, then read the bill or a reasonable analysis of it.

And it's not socialism, FRiends. It's fascism.

Obama tends to lie a lot; he’s discovered the timeless truth immortalized by P. T. Barnum long ago - there’s a sucker born every minute. Indeed, Obama’s entire career depends on this single fact of human nature, and the Kool Aid drinkers make it pretty easy to manage, aided and abetted by the hardcore America-hating socialists, mentally defective One World PC collectivists and addled United Nations Utopianists in the media.

“INCREMENTALISM”

Disagree, kindly.

It is the opposite direction. Where the money is.

It is super-Romney-care. Government working for private insurers. Single payer is government insurance. Everything obama is doing is to undermine the possibility of government insurance.

He is playing his supporters as fools with talk about a government option. That was always a lie. He is in bed with the insurers. The debate about the so-called “public option” was, is and will be a canard.

Also, I’ve recently seen a youtube video of Obama saying he wanted single payer.

I think Obama just says what’s expedient for the moment, and has no idea what he has actually said in the past because he simply never tells the truth anyway, so the concept of being consistent doesn’t mean anything to him.

Here’s how people will lose their insurance, even if this is not an official single payer system. My husband is the president of a small- middle sized organization. He says that if Obamacare becomes reality, he would pay the penalty for not providing insurance rather than stay with their more expensive employer-provided health care plan. He would be forced to do this to remain competitive, because all his competition would take the cheaper government option.

I’m guessing a lot of people with employer provided insurance will find that benefit disappear. Their reality is that they will have no option to keep their current plan.

Well now... looks like Obama

1) hasn’t read the Bill start to finish either and doesn’t know what’s in it, and

2) has a VERY poor memory and can not remember what he told which group when, given that his story changes depending on which speech he is giving.

The man will say anything to anyone and have allegiance to no position other than his own personal benefit.

The President is a liar.

Exactly. The goal is to get any private insurers out of the business as quickly as possible. I think I also read something about a provision that says once you go ON the government plan, you cannot get off of it, you are stuck there for life. So the result would obviously be for private plans to be forced out of business in pretty short order.

2003, 2007, 2008 - all supporting single payer health care.

He still thinks he's going to get away with blatant lies. Most of the media still doesn't care, but the people are waking up, and they do.

He can't be trusted about anything, ever. Spread the word!
