Obamacare Architect: If You Like Your Doctor, You Can Pay More
Weekly Standard ^ | 12/07/2013 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 12/08/2013 12:24:05 PM PST by SeekAndFind

If you want to keep your doctor, you might have to pay more for it, Obamacare architect Zeke Emanuel said today on Fox News Sunday:

The host, Chris Wallace, said: "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?"

"The president never said you were going to have unlimited choice of any doctor in the country you want to go to," said the Obamacare architect.

Every Republican running for office in 2014 needs to use this in their campaigns.

I’m beginning to understand how the French Revolution got so vicious.

i wonder if there are any cracker jack lawyers out there working on a lawsuit based on massive fraud. Wouldn’t you love it if Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and Holder were named in the suit? It’s a dream, I know, but what if something’s in the works.

If you want socialized health coverage, then you and the others can move to a country that has it. We can start with you, Mr.Emanuel.

Truth of the matter is everyone who actually pays for their insurance is also going to get to pay more for their doctors, in fact all of their health care. This is called “spreading the wealth around.” BO said he was going to do it and he is doing it. I don’t understand why so much confusion. He is taking money away from people who earn it and giving it to people who don’t, just as he said he was going to to. Did no one believe him? Thankfully it is blowing up in his face.

...was having lunch recently with an attorney of mine who is a wild eyed liberal “generally” but a damn good proven lawyer to me for over a decade. So, I tolerate his on/off liberalism.

Anyway, we actually agreed on something. It was that “Zeke Emmanuel and these so called “democratic strategists” who keep appearing on talk shows are just making things worse for Obama by telling lie on top of lie to the American people in their effort to put a plug in the Titanic”.

If lies were pancakes to the Dims the stack would be a hundred feet tall and growing increasingly wobbly!

Oh, probably a few hundred thousand or so. There's no lack of clients.

So now they admit that in order to keep your doctor you can but you have to pay more.

These people are scum.

Absolutely. There is no better way to convey our message than to show this arrogant sniveling prick explaining how he and Obama know what’s best for all of us. Excerpts from these interviews should be broadcast continuously in key electoral districts prior to the midterms.

WHERE DID THE OBAMACARE WEBSITE DOUGH GO?????

Hannity recently had two PROFESSIONAL web site developers on his TV show. He asked them both how much they might have charged to construct a secure web site that functioned as necessary from the git go: Their TOP figure was around $10 million!!

That's much more than one well respected US IT firm offered to do the project for: THEY'D HAVE DONE IT FOR FREE!!

Compare those to the estimated $1 BILLION this SOB has shuttled to his cronies for this turkey and I think even the most devoted obozo worshiper can grasp the magnitude of the CORRUPTION in this on-going CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE!!! (Well that's almost certainly an overstatement...)

QUESTION: WHERE THE HELL IS CONGRESS IN ALL OF THIS?

ANSWER: On their computers checking their numbered Swiss accounts to be certain the proper amount was deposited!!!!

IF THIS DOESN'T P.I.S.S. Y.O.U. O.F.F. you aren't paying attention and you're certainly too stupid to vote.

We need an angry electoral tsunami to sweep the parasites on the regular, COMMON SENSE citizens who have READ and UNDERSTAND the CONSTITUTION!! Anything short of that and we're TOAST!!

Interesting, isn’t it, that this president wants you to take him at face value and listen to exactly what he says...until exactly what he says isn’t really what he meant, and then you have to run around between his apologists for them to tell you what he REALLY meant, and for you to be told that you’re stupid for not understanding that he doesn’t really mean what he says.

He told America what America needed to hear to pass this massive fraud, and not that it’s law, we hear what he REALLY meant. Because if he’s told the truth, this wouldn’t ave become law.

I’m seriously starting to wonder if this man can even tell the difference between truth and a lie.

Hey, Zeke

What BO actually said was that the cost of health care was going to come down, not up, down, $2500.

So, the very idea that it was understood the cost would go up is BS. BO, in no uncertain terms, said it was going to go down.

1. Like plan, keep plan.
2. Like doc, keep doc.
3. Cost of health ins to go down $2500.

Most states, that is felonious fraud. Unless you are a politician.

How about a lawsuit that it is discriminatory. Abortions and birth control are covered; but Viagra is not.

Not too many years ago, tar would already have been well warmed, the feathers would have been gathered, the pitchfork tines sharpened, and the rails and rope procured.

Today, people are discussing the available apps on the iPhones, who is going to win the Big Game, and what Kayne has done today. But when wives, husbands, children, and grandparents start actually dying after being denied healthcare that may change.

Maybe.

Now, if the EBT/SNAP cards were suddenly useless...

You sound like the sort of fellow who might enjoy a fanciful and sardonic piece I did a few years ago.

Chicago, Illinois
Marian Shields Robinson, mother of former First Lady, Michelle Robinson Obama, died yesterday. In otherwise excellent health, an autopsy determined that the cause of death was a relatively simple to repair coronary artery blockage. She was 80 years old.
Unfortunately, under the 2010 Affordable Health Care Act, passed in the last year of the truncated Obama Administration, the surgery necessary to clear the fatal blockage has been routinely ruled by the aptly named Dr. Jack Kevorkian Memorial Federal Death Panel as prohibited on patients over 60 years of age.
The impeached Barack Obama could not be reached for comment. On death row at the Colorado Super-Max prison, he is awaiting execution for treason against the Constitution and the people of the United States and humanity.
The Republican breakaway New Freedom Party, which began winning congressional seats in the 2014 election and completed its sweep of conventional Republicans and Democrats from office in the 2016 election, has pledged to eliminate what President Palin called “…these unfortunate and unnecessary deaths of our older citizens who have, after all, done much to build this nation.” She went on to say “Of course, we all die. But this foolishly enacted legislation is consigning countless millions of otherwise healthy, capable, often wisdom-laden loved parents and grandparents to early graves for simply corrected problems. It’s just morally wrong.”
Due to the urgency of the need, Senate Majority Leader Rand Paul (NFP, KY) has pledged to hold as many all-night sessions, 24/7 necessary to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Once finished, he promised to get on with the public executions for treason of 58 Obama officials being demanded by millions of irate taxpayers. “We’d have done this sooner but due to demand from other Western nations, the manufacturer of the Acme 2 Position Super-Deluxe Slice-O-Matic guillotine has a one year backlog.” Paul said the area in front of the Capitol has been ready for the device for 6 months.
When reached by phone for comment, former First Lady Michelle Obama, muttered a few unprintable scatological and profane terms and something about no longer being “…proud of this crappy country – not that I ever was.”
Before hanging up, she blurted that her mother died because “…those honky idiots Reid and Pelosi screwed up and forgot to insert the promised exemptions for us, the members of the ruling class and their families, from the legislation.”
Arrangements are pending but those close to the family have hinted that Mrs. Robinson will be taken to Kenya for burial. Mrs. Obama has declared that she and her daughters will remain in Kenya — eventually found to be the actual birthplace of the disgraced former usurper president — and never return to the United States.

ROFLMAO – yeah, like THAT would ever happen to a member of Dear Leader’s entourage!!

So if the key to keeping your curreent doctor is to pay full price cash directly to that doctor, why should I have anything to do with the PPACA?

I can skip the middle man taking their cut and work out a deal with the doctor directly.
