We know the drill: Read the teleprompter for a few minutes, take questions from a few plants in audience, total of twelve or thirteen questions in an hour, filibuster, end to rave reviews from the state run media.

White House propaganda e-mail sent to NextGov.com

[MarMema]

Like having a doctor and privacy. Oops.

[Blu By U]

end of life care question—

will have to give up paying for things that don’t make them healther... How about his cigarretts?

Dont take tests they are not good for premiums.. don’t work don’t help..

Blue pill / red pill pay half price. HUH?

—WE ARE ALL IN A MATRIX.. HE’S NUTS.

[Mad Dawgg]

"Jake Tapper is going to be in the dog house instead of the white house tomorrow....You go Jake!"

HUGE Straw man answer by Obama, he claims that his plan will eliminate duplicate tests.

That was not what Jake was asking.

[mainepatsfan]

I don’t know who he thinks he’s appealing to because most Americans have long since changed the channel listening to this drivel.

[kabar]

The language intentionally does not address this issue. The Reps tried to insert such language in the bill and it was killed.

[Nasher]

Good question Tapper. Coming up on 30 minutes and he’s fielded 4 questions?

Lol, Blue pill/red pill has replaced surgery/pain killer statement.

[cowboyusa]

God bless tapper. I hope he is alive tommorow.

[Sparko]

“Americans (they) should not have to pay for things that do not make them healthier?”

So terminally ill patients will get what?

- -

They will get the evil beer and cigarettes and candy that will be taken away from those with a real chance at life.

QUESTION: "What are Americans going to have to sacrifice for this health plan?"

ANSWER: "They're going to have to sacrifice paying for things that don't work."

What a effin bullsh#t answer, in fact, that's not even a legitimate answer. This guy is a crock of it.

[KevinDavis]

WHAT THE FRACK???????

[RummyChick]

Does Chemotherapy count since most often the patient still dies?

[Shortstop7]

He sure is stuttering a lot.....

[Redgirl]

Did I just hear red pill, blue pill? Like The Matrix? Neobama.

[MarMema]

OMG did he just say that?????

[Spunky]

You have a blue pill and a red pill and the blue pill costs less than the red pill etc; etc; etc;.

He uses this analogy over and over and over.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

the system right now is about red pills and blue pills??

Patients must be more discriminating consumers....
whoops, changerooooo..here we go talking about deficits?huh?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Good news, America. When it comes to health care, we’re going to have to be “discriminating consumers”.

“Discriminating” is, of course, defined by him.

[LukeL]

Well I think most Americans have swallowed the blue pill.

[Tennessee Nana]

ROFLBMO

The American people are queezy...

Yeppers !!!!
