Obama Caught Red-Handed in Health Reform Falsehood

[Please circulate in letters to the editor, town meetings, and the Internet]

We received an E-mail from Organizing for America (Barack Obama's organization) that directed to us to Barack Obama's Web site. As shown below, the President of the United States has just been caught red-handed telling the American people a blatant falsehood about his so-called health care reform agenda. This information needs to be circulated as widely as possible to put Obama's "reform" (read "government takeover") down for good, and discredit his administration to prevent further damage to the United States during the next 3.5 years.

Outright falsehood: "Every American must have the freedom to choose their plan and doctor – including the choice of a public insurance option."

...Many inexpensive high-deductible policies, including the one we currently carry, would not "qualify" under the definition shown above. In other words, Barack Obama's statement "Every American must have the freedom to choose their plan" is a flat-out falsehood because the government is going to tell you what kind of plan you are allowed to choose. If the President of the United States is using his position of trust to tell outright falsehoods about his health care "reform" agenda, then what else is he misrepresenting?

Proof that Barack Obama is lying to the American people about his health care reform agenda

SEC. 301. INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY. For an individual’s responsibility to obtain acceptable coverage, see section 59B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as added by section 401 of this Act). Section 401 defines “acceptable coverage” as:

‘‘(2) ACCEPTABLE COVERAGE.—For purposes of this section, the term ‘acceptable coverage’ means any of the following: ‘‘(A) QUALIFIED HEALTH BENEFITS PLAN COVERAGE.—Coverage under a qualified health benefits plan (as defined in section 100(c) of the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 25 2009). ‘(B) GRANDFATHERED HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE; COVERAGE UNDER GRANDFATHERED EMPLOYMENT-BASED HEALTH PLAN.—Coverage under a grandfathered health 5 insurance coverage (as defined in subsection (a) of section 102 of the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009) or under a current employment-based health plan (within the meaning of subsection (b) of such section).

SEC. 102. PROTECTING THE CHOICE TO KEEP CURRENT COVERAGE. (a) GRANDFATHERED HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE DEFINED.—Subject to the succeeding provisions of this section, for purposes of establishing acceptable coverage under this division, the term ‘‘grandfathered health insurance coverage’’ means individual health insurance coverage that is offered and in force and effect before the first day of Y1 if the following conditions are met: (1) LIMITATION ON NEW ENROLLMENT.— (A) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day of Y1. (B) DEPENDENT COVERAGE PERMITTED.—Subparagraph (A) shall not affect the subsequent enrollment of a dependent of an individual who is covered as of such first day. (2) LIMITATION ON CHANGES IN TERMS OR CONDITIONS.—Subject to paragraph (3) and except as required by law, the issuer does not change any of its terms or conditions, including benefits and cost-sharing, from those in effect as of the day before the first day of Y1.

(2) ANNUAL LIMITATION.—ANNUAL LIMITATION.—The cost-sharing incurred under the essential benefits package with respect to an individual (or family) for a year does not exceed the applicable level specified in subparagraph (B).

(B) APPLICABLE LEVEL.—The applicable level specified in this subparagraph for Y1 is $5,000 for an individual and $10,000 for a family.

Forgive my ignorance but what does that ("applicable level of cost sharing") mean exactly?

I understand the grandfathered part (I think). It means the neo-commies will let me keep what I have providing I never choose to change it in any way.

I'll tell you who: The World Communist party. William Ayers tried decades ago to bomb the Establishment because he hated it - he succeeded in killing one police officer and escaped prison on a technicality. Being ever so smart, he realized he could take down America from the inside, so he looked for a pigeon to tap - and along came B. Hussein! George Soros HATES the freedoms we “little” people have, so he supports the Big O. Rev. Wright hates “Whitey”, so he joined in. They are a collection of anti-American miscreants dedicated to destroying that which they hate - and they hate us because they are failures and can't STAND to see us succeed. It's a case of the rejects running the asylum.
