President Barack Obamas address to the annual meeting of the American Medical Association today didnt break new ground, but attempted to assure doctors and their patients that his prescription for overhauling the health care system would be good for them. For patients, he made a sweeping pledge that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what. My view is that health care reform should be guided by a simple principle: fix whats broken and build on what works. And according the prepared remarks, he promised doctors we can build a health care system that allows you to be physicians instead of administrators and accountants.

LIAR.
Now, how many folks in the room believed this line?
Yeah, keep your doctor. We’ll just write regulations so tight that Dr. Jeckyl will be Dr. Hyde when we’re done with him. People who sucker for this will get precisely what they deserve.
Of course you can...And you can also pay more as private insurers dwindle down to a precious few.
It’s what Obama is NOT saying that is dishonest.

He says whatever is convenient, but Obama is a damn liar.
I may like my doctor what I require is that when my wife had cancer we got to see the experts of our choice on a very fast track, I liked them too but they weren’t “our doctor” they were specialists.
Telling me I can “keep” my doctor has nothing to do with rationing, having less advanced equipment, etc.
LMFAO!
I was going to post something very similar to that.
Given the known statistic that this Marxist lies more than he tells the truth, you can imagine what you would really end up with. This is just more power-madness, more Marxism, and more destruction of the once great, powerful and successful America he is so rabidly destroying.
How long will even the DemoRats let this go on???
...sadly, but sadly so will se, and we won’t deserve it.
Did he say anything about that? Specifically, plans under way for me to get mine?
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor?....
I don’t believe a damn thing he says!
If he had not before, I am certain that today my Dr withdrew from Medicare.
Of course you can. However, your doctor will probably leave the profession in a year or two. You’ll love your new federally-employed PA, though.

Dear Employees, in light of the affordable government-run health care options reenacted, USCO’s responsibility to its shareholders requires us to terminate our private coverage you have been receiving effective Jan 1st, 2010. We will be happy to assist you in making the transition in what will improve your health and the company’s health as we focus on our core business yada yada yada Obama’s a huge freaking (but good) liar...
