It Will Not Be Single Payer Insurance

The electorate is hopping mad about the out of control government and its plans for cap and tax as well as universal health care coverage. The people are out in force protesting and giving their Representatives and Senators holy hell. The people have a right to be mad because the government is working for a complete overhaul of a system so that about 12 million people who truly cannot afford health care are covered.
The government officials who discuss this boondoggle claim that it is not a single payer system and that the government will not put private insurance companies out of business. Obama tells us that if we like what we have we may keep it and that there are no plans for a government take over of the health care system. They deny that the goal is a single payer system.
The problem is, they really want a single payer system where the government runs health care. Watch this video and see how many of them have advocated for single payer in the past. look at how they tell us that the way to get to single payer is via the so called public option. These are their words and their words and they are telling us what the ultimate goal is:
The liberals commenting at Breitbart (where the video displayed) complain that the video is spliced together. To them this means that the video was chopped up to present the words out of context. This is untrue. There are clips from several different interviews that clearly provide us with the words spoken by Obama and other Democrats. These clips show us how their positions have been stated differently over the years but clearly indicate that the goal is a single payer system.
This video should add fuel to the fire because during this August recess the Democrats will be out in full force lying to us about this health care bill. They will tell us what they want us to hear but not what the truth is because the truth spells defeat for them and their plan to Socialize the country’s health care system.
Liberals never win when they present their true feelings. They win by pretending to be something they are not. Obama and the Democrats present a different picture of themselves when they are running for office because if they told us how they will actually do things they would not get elected.
They are liars and they will continue to lie to get what they want. They do not care about what we want.
Give them hell this August and make sure they know who the boss is. The links below are to meetings that have put the heat on Democrats over this issue. Continue that heat.
They need to have a miserable August.
Then they need to have a miserable election the next time they want renew their jobs.

Single payer option is a misnomer- it is not an OPTION, but will put insurance cos. out of business ( except the insurance co. the Law makers choose for themselves).
They are so hypocritical about this- they don’t give a sh** about ANYONE else, its all about consolidation of power, plain and simple.
I heard clips from BO dated 2003 and 2007 which indicated that a single payer plan would be the goal even if there were transitional “systems” in between (whatever). Also, Barney Frank and some lady from Chicago (whose name I won’t even try to spell) had interviews stating that the single payer plan and putting the insurance companies out of business were the ultimate goal of this whole deal.
I agree – it’s a total power grab and trying to sneak in bits about accessing our personal accounts and end of life counseling, etc. totally disgusted me. This whole administration is out of control.
Single payer wouldn’t put insurance companies out of business. They’d still be free to sell supplemental insurance like they do in single payer systems (cancer insurance, etc.)
I love it when conservatives *defend* insurance companies. That’s a successful strategy!
does anyone here know what they’re talking about? Does big dog have the stones to post my comment?
I have the stones, more than you can ever imagine. It is the punk attitude like that that gets you moderated. I allowed your last comment because you actually sounded normal.
There is nothing wrong with insurance companies. The government needs to be out of the way in mandating what they offer and allow people to buy across state lines. If they are forced to compete prices will come down.
This will put private insurance out of business. Look at what they say and read the bill. Yes, BJ, I know what I am talking about. I actually work in the medical field.
If Obama is so concerned about health care why did he vote against the reforms of the past? Those were reforms that did not cost trillions of dollars, would have covered more people and would not overhaul the entire system. It is about control.
Do you know what you are talking about?
BJ- It takes no stones to post a brain- dead comment such as the one above.
Obviously you do not know what a Capitalist society is, but in one, you are allowed, nay, ENCOURAGED to make a profit.
What insurance companies, or the big old evil energy companies, or any other company do is NOT a hobby, and they do not do this for your benefit. I realize that you believe you are all that and the bag of chips, bit the sad truth is that you are just like us, a statistic that Hussein doesn’t really care about.
So, in essence, you are nothing. You should remember this just in case you get another case of misplaced ego.
If you can see his lips moving, mouthing the words” i am in favor of single- payer insurance”, then that is what he said, plain and simple, and he has been saying this consistently, which is why I never understood how anyone could vote for this man if they even had half a brain.
Up until this election, I thought that people would wake up and smell the logic, but there are still some people who refuse to let go of their baby logic and begin to make adult decisions about the real world and how it works (also how it DOESN’T work).
