Obama in 2000: VA model for medical system Borrowed ideas from veterans program during congressional
WND ^ | 5/23/14 | Aaron Klein

Even when he was campaigning for Congress in 2000, President Obama unveiled a sweeping health-care plan that modeled aspects of the Veterans Administration’s medical system.

As WND reported, eight years later, during his transition into the White House, he proposed in his “Obama-Biden” plan to “make the VA a leader of national health care reform so that veterans get the best care possible.”

In his 2000 congressional campaign, Obama proposed health-care legislation on the federal and state level to lower the costs of prescription drugs for seniors. His plan called for the government to buy the medication in bulk and resell it to seniors at lower prices.

On Jan. 20, 2000, the Chicago Defender reported Obama’s prescription drug plan was modeled after a similar program run by the VA. The Veterans Health Care Act in 1994 calls for drug companies to give a 24 percent discount to the VA.

The definitive case for removing Barack Obama from office is presented in “Impeachable Offenses” by Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott.

Obama ultimately lost his congressional bid to four-term incumbent Bobby Rush.

Remember when Clinton bought up all the flu vaccine, it was warehoused and never distributed.

Obama did not notice but most GOOD IDEAS are already thought of, along with a lot of corrupt and bad ideas (like "single payer" which means taxpayers.)

Anything that even hints at “checks and balances” is loathed by Obama....
