Soooo, I watched the Great Messiah's-errrr, President Obama's address to Congress last night. I thought it was pretty revealing what he DIDN'T say. First off, what he said. He, in his grand, grand speech was trying to bring things to the middle of the road. He said that while there would be a government option, it WOULD NOT put insurance companies out of business. He also claimed that it would only be about $900 billion over 10 years(without adding a dime to the deficit), and that no illegal immigrants would get on the government plan. Theses are just a few of the high points, for those of you who couldn't stomach listening to him speak last night.
Mr. President, YOU ARE LYING AND I KNOW IT AND EVERYONE THAT HAS HALF A BRAIN KNOWS IT.
Okay, got that out of my system. First off, where did the president get that figure? And, how does he know that it WON'T add a dime to the deficit? Also, he claims that illegals will not be on the government plan. But, he has been talking about covering all these millions and millions of uninsured Americans for the past 2 years. Most experts, and most good ol' basic, bare minimum of looking at the numbers, agree, he is talking about covering the illegals. Mr. President, do I detect some double-speak?
Finally, the part about the insurance companies. Let's look at some basic facts concerning government vs. free enterprise, private sector, etc.,etc., etc. Let me be blunt: free markets can't compete with goverment. Let me say that again: free markets can't compete with goverment. Now, unlike some of the the geniuses on Capitol Hill, I've read SOME, not all, some of the healthcare bill. Probably about 100 pages. From what I read, it was clear to me that the sole purpose of the bill is to put private insurance companies out of business, and to put EVERYONE on the government plan. I know you are probably thinking, "Verity, how the heck do you know this? Prove it!" Here's the link to H.R. 3200. Read it for yourself, and think about how drasticly it would alter the landscape of America as we know it.
