CHRIS WALLACE, HOST: President Obama famously promised, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. Doesn't that turn out to be just as false, just as misleading, as his promise about if you like your plan you can keep your plan? Isn't it a fact, sir, that a number, most, in fact, of the Obamacare health plans that are being offered on the exchanges exclude a number of doctors and hospitals to lower costs?
EZEKIEL EMANUEL: The president never said you were going to have unlimited choice of any doctor in the country you want to go to.
WALLACE: Wait. No. He asked a question. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Did he not say that, sir?
EMANUEL: He didn't say you could have unlimited choice.
WALLACE: It's a simple yes or no question. Didn't he say if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor?
EMANUEL: Yes. But look, if you want to pay more for an insurance company that covers your doctor, you can do that. This is a matter of choice. We know in all sorts of places you pay more for certain -- for a wider range of choices or wider range of benefits. The issue isn't the selective networks. People keep saying, 'Oh, the problem is you're going to have a selective network.'
WALLACE: Well, if you lose your doctor or lose your hospital --

Wallace understands that if he asks a question several times, and the subject keeps dodging, then Wallace becomes the problem that makes the interview unwatchable TV. He’s not going to tie up an entire interview over one unanswered question, instead he calls attention to the fact the question didn’t get answered, and moves on.
That’s the best that can be asked for with these Obastard butt-boys. Can’t hold it against Wallace, CNN would have let it go and then covered up for him. At least he drew attention to the dodging, and that’s an answer in and of itself.
Translation:
It’s a two tier system.
The rich pay more for adequate care, and the proles get substandard care.
Isn’t this worse than before?
What a sanctimonious pompous jerk this ass clown is...
I've seen him several times doing interviews...
One of the few libtards I'd like to punch in the nose...and kick in the gonads...
Oh, but he did. Wallace called him out pretty good. Watch the whole interview. Some things are lost in transcript
Exactly, keep their words alive so they are held accountable. At the very minimum at least individuals will be reminded by the deception and not believe what they say anymore.
Indeed. Thanks for the ping!
If You Want To Pay More On Your Taxes, You Can Do That
For the rest of us, there used to be this thing called charity, philanthropy, faith-based organizations (read: churches).
These things used to be society's safety net. It wasn't until liberals drove them out of open society over things like God, abortion, and marriage, that the safety net unraveled.
And now you and your liberal friends want to replace the voluntary charitable giving to the needy with governmnent-directed subsidies confiscated from those who previously gave freely.
It's just that you didn't like the choice preferences that those who gave made.

I saw this interview. the guy was absolutely nuts
Wallace did call him out...again and again and again.
1) It will make all important health care decisions by authorizing payment or not.
2) It is not funded by Congress and cannot have its budget reviewed or changed.
3) Its membership cannot be changed by future Presidents,
4) It cannot be repealed by Congress, except for a six month window in 2017.
5) Its decisions are not subject to judicial review.
6) It is not authorized by the Constitution, and is therefore immune to Constitutional processes.

BUT IT JUST GOES TO SHOW -- EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING Harry Reid said, ......under Obamacare, my insurance costs me about $4,500 more than before." But Harry says that's OK b/c the increase is "age-related.
(Sniffle) "Tolerant and compassionate" Obama knows that the most expensive h/care is delivered the last three years of life...so oldsters HAVE to pay more (Sob).
Heck, socking Harry w/ a massive increase could even save money. For sure, decrepit Harry will necessitate expensive medical care for diseases of old age including the ones he's being treated for now---senility, Alzheimer's, dementia, arthritis, osteoarthritis, heart problems, heart attacks, stroke, kidney failure, prostate enlargement, osteoporosis (brittle bones)....etc.
Course, just in case ol' Harry hangs in there, Obamacare's IPAB kicks in to ration medical care when stubborn old buzzards like Harry insist on getting more healthcare than his lousy $4500 per month entitles him to.
The Hippocratic oath to do no harm doesn’t work for this a-hole.
His plan to cover everyone with health care is going to work just the opposite and none of us will have it adequately.
Or leave the TV on, but mute the sound, so the ratings of any show who has him on will not suffer. Then he’ll be on TV more often, which is a great thing for the conservative cause.
Dr Death strikes, again. They’ve been trotting this evil thing out quite a bit, lately. Good. He’s doing a *great* job of telling what 0DeathCare is really all about.
Emanuel is another face of the communist democrat party which is in an advanced stage of replacing our Republic with their own Godless regime of government by usurpation and force. Emanuel and all of the Obama regime are living a King Midas existence while their tax paying prisoners are holding on for dear life to maintain their standards of a much more modest standard of living.
Rebellion is way past overdue. For both political parties.
It’s the best way... thanks.
