White House to liberals: Soon you can start pushing single-payer health care at the state level
hot air ^ | 2/28/11 | Allahpundit

Here’s a long-distance dedication to Politifact, which crowned as its “lie of the year” the conservative argument that ObamaCare represents a government takeover of health care. Of course it’s not a government takeover of health care; it’s merely a crucial step towards a government takeover of health care. Many liberals have never been shy about voicing their ambitions in that regard, but since they couldn’t do it at the federal level last year, they’ve been looking for alternative routes. Voila — how about the opt-out provision in O-Care? That lets the states substitute their own alternative plan provided that it’s as comprehensive and affordable as the federal one is and that it doesn’t increase the deficit. Which is to say, you don’t really get to design your own plan, you get to design your own version of ObamaCare. (No wonder The One went out of his way to salute Romney again.) Obama cited that opt-out provision in his speech to the governors today as evidence of not only what a flexible program ObamaCare is but how interested he is in cost control. Yet while he was telling them that, the White House was telling the left something different:

Health care advisers Nancy-Ann DeParle and Stephanie Cutter stressed on the off-record call that the rule change would allow states to implement single-payer health care plans — as Vermont seeks to — and true government-run plans, like Connecticut’s Sustinet.

I have to believe that even the muzzie in chief will at least pretend to retaliate in a severe way, timed for maximum political effectiveness, of course, lest he be exposed for the enemy within that he is.

You had better believe that if a Republican were POTUS, these muzzie subhumans wouldn't have dared to murder in cold blood 4 Americans for fear of the retaliation, but with a fellow mooselimb in the WH they have no problem sacrificing infidels to their common satanic deity.

Of course, the real voice of the opposition to the communists in the WH, Senate, and House (Sarah Palin) is waiting to see what this degenerate communist faggot in the WH does in response to this outrage, and the rest of the GOP "Leadership" is staying mute.

Hell, it's like it never even happened.

I hear the Empire State Building and Capital are still standing,the muhammedans might as well go for broke.

The Founders specifically warned against foreigners occupying the WH, and we are going to pay a heavy price for ignoring them.

THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE IS THE ANNIHILATION OF THE SOMALI PIRATES, THEIR FAMILIES, AND THEIR ABILITY TO EVER AGAIN THREATEN AMERICAN CITIZENS.

No worker in the US should be held hostage to unions period, compulsory union dues are unconstitutional under the first and 14th amendments, and the unions need to be stripped of their ability to steal money from workers paychecks on a national level.

If the workers love unions so much they will be happy to voluntarily send them dues.

There’s nothing patently illegal about a POTUS issuing an executive order immediately ending withholding of union dues nationwide, and ordering the National Labor Relations Board to get a Federal Court Order enforcing the Presidents decision

Lets fight it out in the courts, and lets make it a campaign issue, with the promise to end compulsory withholding of union dues one of the first acts of the new GOP Administration.

Its stupid to allow the left (Communists) to use the same mechanism the IRS uses to fund themselves.

That sounds good to me.

Then the Governors can just ignore the Obama administration’s requirements and do whatever they want to do.

Just like BO does . . . . .
