Here you go. Sounds like you're still working off the 10th edition...

Maybe it's me but I noticed today sites everywhere all of a sudden are referring to Obama's plan as the "Public Health Care Plan" and no longer as the "Government Health Care Plan" ?
As far as I can remember, he’s always called it the “public option”. I don’t think they’ve ever actually been stupid enough to call it a “government health care plan”
Actually, I think he is more talking about Health Insurance Reform.
I guess I was wrong?
With liberals it’s always about the language. Global warming to climate change, Baby to fetus, is doesn’t always mean is....it’s their way of thinking that everybody else is too stupid to keep up.
Over the last couple of weeks I have seen it go from
HealthCare Reform
to
HealthCare Insurance Reform
I am not suprised. I was not surprised when they began talking about insurance reform. I heard internally they were shopping for more acceptable terms that wouldn’t set people off. It’s all about image.
It’s more proper to refer to ‘it’ as the Communist Health Rationing Scheme.
Here you go. Sounds like you're still working off the 10th edition...
TomAto ..Tomahto...it depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is!
As in “public” schools?
Interesting that Nancy “Marshall Petain” Pelosi’s public tirades (against CIA, nazi-astroturf-citizens, villainous insurance) apparently do not reflect her mental instability, but instead are becoming harbingers of upcoming democrat talking points and strategy.
Fascinating.
Definitions are the guardians of reason and logic, the first line of defense against the intellectual disintegration foisted upon you by a deceiver.
Bam’s focus group people obviously raking in tons of overtime...
Right now, it is a hodge-podge of this House committee and that House committee and a Senate committee and WH recommendations and demands.
Until the compromise bill is actually put together, we don’t know and they don’t know.
The compromise bill is the one to scrutinize. It is the one Pelosi and Reid will try to push through quickly and in the wee dark hours of night.
Yeah, that's the latest nomenclature change in the WH talking points I noticed over the weekend: all the Presidn't men have suddenly taken to calling it the 'Health Insurance Reform Plan' in unison.
The WH's ridiculously transparent "demon of the week" tactic in their sales campaign is evidently now targeting the insurance companies because he thinks he can successfuly exploit many Americans' distrust with the insurance industry to induce gullible citizens to give up their freedom just to be able to stick it to those guys.
Obama can call it whatever he wants, or rather he can call it whatever David Axelrod tells him to call it, & they can change the stupid sales name of his stupid crypto-fascist plan every day of the week for all I care.
It'll always be the Government Health Control Plan to me.
I haven’t noticed that but picked up on the large thud made ON THE DAY IT HAPPENED, by the sudden transition from Health Care Reform (or plan) {possibly way too big and unwieldy a concept for them to promote} to the friendlier and more unassailable
Health Insurance Reform, as if the entire 1017 page manual/healthcode plan could be boiled down to that essence. Just a few days ago at a Town Hall meeting a man asked point blank this question as his ONLY question.
Obama seemed “pleased” to hear it, but of course didn’t answer it as if it came from a critic, but one of his own plants.
But be on the lookout for the myriad other ways in which they debase language AND thought, like the constant distortions revolving around the false choices they claim “our side” is insisting on : “doing nothing” as against “doing something”, Obama the other day suggesting that opponents of his bill believe it’s all about “pulling the plug on Grandma”, when hey, he just lost his grandma, and it was hell watching her deteriorate and the last thing he’d want to do was to pull the plug on her, etc etc.
In that example, they hope to demagogue the issue by moving the focus to one tiny corner of their plan, and demonize the critics by pointing out how the critics have unfairly demonized him.
Hell, Orwell wrote about all this LONG ago, and it still comes thick and fast.
The hoped the Town Hall meetings would ALL be one big Propaganda Fest, and they’ve still managed to pull off a few , the two that got the most press, of course, most recently, and they were naturally TOTALLY staged affairs.
I've been asking Alan Grayson’s office (8th District of Florida - Orlando) for weeks if and when he will hold a Town Hall meeting here in his district. I kept getting “We plan to have one, but we're not sure when and where - it will probably be the very last week of August. Watch the website for news on this.”
Finally, posted at 6:00PM yesterday (Sunday) with only 24 hours notice, Alan Grayson’s web site has announced that the Town Hall here in Orlando will be held tonight (Monday) at 7:45PM at the local IBEW Union Hall. Here's the announcement:
TO HOST HEALTH CARE TOWN HALL
August 17, 2009 7:45 PM
From Grayson’s website:
Congressman Alan Grayson will host a town hall meeting to discuss the need for health care reform, listen to concerns or answer questions from the constituents he serves, and debunk the many myths being circulated about the current proposals.
WHAT: Health Care Town Hall
WHEN: Monday, August 17, 2009, 7:45 p.m.
WHERE: IBEW Local 606 Union Hall
820 Virginia Drive
Orlando, FL
The Congressman intends for and expects this event to be a respectful and productive discussion.
This is the second public health care meeting the Congressman has held during the summer district work period. On July 27th, he met with about fifty members of his Health Care Advisory Board. The meeting was announced 72 hours in advance, open to the public, and promoted and covered by multiple media outlets.
The Congressman also will conduct a health care telephone town hall on Thursday, August 20th at 7 p.m. People interested in being a part of that event can sign up on the Congressman’s website.
