...Obama on Thursday will tout the benefits that Americans with existing health insurance will receive under his signature healthcare law, as his administration ramps up its promotional campaign to get people to sign up for coverage this fall.

The White House speech will tout the $100 average rebates per family that 8.5 million privately insured Americans, or their employers, will receive from their insurers this summer under the reform law's provision that insurers can't pocket more than 15% to 20% of premiums for profit and administrative costs, according to a senior administration official. The administration credits the policy with reducing premiums and putting money back into the pockets of people with insurance.

Talking points for the ignorant....you don't want this law, but the Clown and his sycophantic media will tell you how WRONG you are in this speech.

So, will we be hearing a rebuttal speech from, oh, I don't know, maybe a Republican?

I didn't think so.

[fatnotlazy]

I’ll be washing my hair...

[csmusaret]

Do you think Hoffa and Trumka will be on the stage with their incredible shrinking hero?

[Errant]

El Presidente of New Lie-Beria (formerly known as the US) speaketh before his swooning MSM.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I’ll assume the speech will carry a laugh track...

obama has exceeded Cater's bumbling incompetence, Clinton's total aversion to the truth and his own potential to take things lower than any progressive in American history.

Just our luck. We have lived to see three of the worst possible administrations, in every conceivable way, and what would appear to have been a successful coup to replace the Constitution with whatever feels right to the biggest donors, the current owners of US.

Maybe we will also live to see the restoration of our Constitutional Republic?

The odds are against we, the people, but when has that stopped US?

All we have to do is live up to our values and ideals, just as the Constitution so eloquently expresses.

What gifts that nation and our example would be to pass along to our children and grandchildren and history!

Beats the obamanation we've subjected ourselves to and the absolute sin it would be to pass this madness along instead.

How they will hate us for this and their future. Can you blame them?

"Justices Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito said, "The entire Act before us is invalid in its entirety." Further, they wrote, there is a "mountain of evidence" that the mandate is not a tax. "To say that the individual mandate merely imposes a tax," wrote Scalia, "is not to interpret the statute but to rewrite it.""

Roberts needs to be taken to task for this travesty.

We certainly have reached the Late Soviet Decay period very quickly, haven’t we?

Anyone under 40 would have to be an idiot to sign up to subsidize everyone older.

Somebody on FNC said he won’t be mentioning the concerns of labor unions about what it will do to their health plans.

Roberts needs to be taken to task for this travesty.

There was a whole cadre of Roberts defenders here after his insane ruling, claiming that Roberts had inserted a poison pill item in the legislation.

The fact that Boehner refused to defund ObamaCare should tell you all you need to know about the GOPe. We will have ObamaCare and we will have amnesty, so shut up and eat your peas.
