Obamacare: PBS's Jim Lehrer suggests to Obama: "start cracking heads", CNN trots out communist

PBS and CNN | July and Aug, 2009

Not only did all the citizens of Arizona pay for her care, she was also walking around in between hospital admissions exposing everyone to TB.

Funny how the MSM never seems to find these types of stories - even thought they're repeated in emergency rooms across the nation.

The way I know that NO ONE is being denied medical care is because if the MSM could fine ONE PERSON who was denied medical care, that person would be on the front page of the New York Times. This whole "health care fiasco" is based on lies. Lies anyone who has ever worked in a hospital could refute.

If their solution is based on lies, how good can it be?

[GOPJ]

That's the cost of care for the poor (oh and sorry about your hand) - and it should be addressed. The hospitals are making out like bandits because they use the poor as massive "loss" tax write-offs.

Doctors call the poor "Jesus cases" but the cost of their care is subsidized by those of us who have private health insurance. So yes, the system we have for delivering health care to the poor is not that great - unless you're part of the health care rip off - but the Obama solutions are based on lies. And they will make it worse.

The current system is riddled with perverse incentives - and that's what has to be addressed. The problem is that those incentives were placed there by people who benefit from those "incentives". The way out is for citizens to be able to have free discussions about the real problems.

Or - in the old days - we could have had honest reporters looking into this - with fresh eyes. Now the press sits waiting for dems to tell them the right "take" on issues. I'm discouraged - but happy to see that people like you voodoo see a piece of the health care truth. That's the only way out of here...

PRESIDENT OBAMA: “You know, the interesting thing is we’ve actually been very clear on what we want. I’ve said that I want to make sure that if you have health care you’re going to keep it. I’ve said that we’ve got to reform the insurance industry so people aren’t being excluded for preexisting conditions,”

Who is stupid enough to believe this? He says you will keep your existing coverage and then says he will stop insurance companies from excluding people for preexisting conditions. The second statement nullifies the first, if companies have to cover everyone with preexisting conditions then the premeiums will go so high nobody can afford them and the insurance companies will be out of the business. Obama knows this but he banks on voters being too stupid to know it.

Seems to me Lehrer said a lot of the COMMENTARY was that he had to “crack heads.” Jim Lehrer wasn’t saying that himself.

[ETL]

The way he posed the question, he obviously was fully on board with the sentiment, plus “cracking heads” was apparently HIS words, not anyone else’s.

JIM LEHRER: As you know a lot of the commentary over the weekend was that nothing’s going to happen getting from here to the final hurdle here unless you really start cracking some heads, and really say, “Hey, this is the Obama plan, this is what I want. So much for what this committee wants and what that committee wants. Here’s what I want. I’m going to push and go.” Are you ready to do that?

[RJL]

52.9% of the voters had to have cracks in their heads to vote for this moron in the first place.

While true, the Republican candidate, John 'Reach across the aisle' McCain was a joke of the worst kind.

[WKUHilltopper]

Hey LEHRER—any time you want to try and crack my head, just let me know.
