What IS the Obama administration supposed to do? Are they not allowed to fight back? Is it completely a one-way street? Companies and groups can say anything they like about the White House, but the White House can't s ...[text shortened]... As long as it's just talk, let both sides say whatever they think will convince the voters.
I would like to add something here. Obama has lied repeatidly about health care related issues. For example, he said that amputations costs about $30 thousand when it was no where close to that and also imlied doctors don't always see the medical need to do them, rather, they do them for profit at times, which is another lie altogether because they really are not that expensive. Then he says that illegals will not be covered in front of the entire world watching and then scratches his head when someone yells, "LIAR!" Of course, if he was not lying, where is the Congressional plan to see to it that illegals are not covered? Of course, none exist. THey then scurried around like little roaches trying to come up with a plan after Obama said that. Then Obama says that perhaps someone could take a few pills rather than have a procedure under his plan, his own words, but then turns around and says that health care benefits will not be diminished. Well how are we to translate what he just said about a change in treatment options under his plan? Then he tallies the numbers of his plan and says how much money will be saved in his new system only to have an independent Congressional body tally the same numbers and say that Obama's numbers just don't add up. All I can say is, he has a lot of nerve turuning around and saying these insurance companies are lying when they say their coverage will change. Who the @!!@ knows what this new legislation will bring? In fact, there is NO way for him to prove that the insurance companies are lying simply because I think at times it perplexes him as to what this bohemouth entitlement policy will actually pan out to be.
My last retort on the subject is, you mention who will fight back when insurance companies lie to us. Well we have the govumit. Right now you have the insurance companies all sitting around a table as Obama walks around it with a baseball bat in hand asking, "Who's on my team?" However, who fights back when the govumit lies to us? In fact, that is what is scary about these guys, there is NO accountability. So in the interim, lest just hand them the entire health care industry, shall we?
