Obama spokesman: "Another 1,500 Americans die each month because we haven't passed ObamaCare"
Fox News Channel | 9/4/09

Posted on 09/04/2009 1:49:37 PM PDT by pabianice

Obama apologist "Steve" was just on Cavuto telling ever greater whoppers. According to Steve, 1,500 people die each month because we don't yet have ObamaCare and thus no health insurance. Cavuto tried to get him to admit that no one is ever turned away from an ER but Steve stayed right on talking points: The right is killing the poor because we are dangerous, selfish, and anti-American .

Steve then launched into a pre-packaged rant -- eyes wide and unblinking, words coming at 200 a minute -- about how Obama is not getting the credit for the one million jobs he's saved and created since inauguration. According to Steve (Obama talking point # 44), the jobs Obama thinks can be created (presumably by powering cars with dilithium crystals and replacing coal and oil power plants with naquada generators) will easily top "several million." Cavuto, thoroughly exasperated, went off on him, saying how stupid such a statement was and asking if he (Cavuto) could claim he is losing a pound a day now by promising to start dieting next year. "Steve" became more animated and the interview ended with Cavuto having to stop him in mid-rant.

The Libs are losing the healthcare and labor debates and they are becoming that much more dangerous. We can expect ever more desperate, secret actions by the White House... you know, the most open and transparent administration in history.

Survival of the fittest is what has allowed us to stay so far up the food chain.

Yes, I think what "Steve" really meant to say was "only 1500" people have died this month because of failure to pass obamacare. (As if it would have already gone into effect.)

Someone should ask “Mack Daddy the Zebra’s” slave, Steve the moron, how many innocent babies are murdered each day by “Doctors” who do it for money.

And if we pass this Stimulus Bill, unemployment will not rise above 8.5%..

.........1,500 people die each month because we don't yet have ObamaCare........

And IF we get 0bamacare......
No longer will 1,500 die each month.......
(In fact, nobody will "die")

But......
About 15,000 per month will develop....
"Ambient Temperature Syndrome".

Especially "senior citizens"

How many of those are because of the lack of tort reform driving up the price? How many are because they can't buy out of state insurance at a reasonable price if they are somewhere like New York which has outrageous prices? How many die because individually purchased health insurance isn't tax deductible like company bought is? How many die because small companies can't band together to buy larger group policies?

And most importantly: How many more will die under Obamacare because they don't meet Dr. Zeke's criteria for living?

Did Cavuto ask Steve how many will die per month WITH Obama care because they are denied treatment or because the OK to give them treatment got hung up in committee over a long week end and they died waiting on bureaucrats to help them.--It would be one huge multiplier of 1500--how about 15,000? If Steve can pick a number, I can pick a bigger one.

As stated elsewhere on this thread, an ER must treat--oh, unless Michelle is on the hospital admin. and has the indigent sent to another hospital to cut down on overhead. Then, they could die without treatment.

Yes, I know it was not a law, work with me here...

How many Americans who were born alive after a failed abortion attempt died because Obama voted FOUR TIMES for a law forbidding ANY medical treatment for such unfortunates?

Actually it is the opposite. 1500 seniors are staying alive each day the plan ISN’T in place.

“In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.”
(Actually, twelve people died in the tornado.)

“Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”

Barack Obama

Obama and his cheerleaders keep hyping the "Cleveland Clinic" model for healthcare. For many years the Cleveland Clinic, which is located in a generally decrepit part of town, had no ER. They didn't want to absorb the cost of a deluge of Saturday night knife wounds and GSW's and other miscellaneous catastrophes with no way to collect. Only serious public and private pressure led them eventually to develop a minimal capability, hoping to limit losses.

And in July and August 89 American troops were killed in Afganistan, while zero played golf with no mention from him or his despicable media fiends. Spare me!

Can he verify that with Obituaries?

Tell these j0kers you want to see the 1500 Obituaries which specifically mention that death was caused by lack of medical care.

Cavuto is very good at making fools out of liberals. I like him.
