August 12, 2009 Five Freedoms lost under Obamacare
In full community organizer mode, President Barack Obama (D) conducted a Town Hall rally for health care (insurance) reform (sic) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Stating he welcomed debate on the issue, "We should talk with each other, not at each other" he patronizingly talked down to the audience, winking at one woman who questioned him.
So, ok, let's talk with each other--with facts not at each other with puffy generalities and put downs of those who disagree. Unlike the legislators who will vote on the health care bills and the White House aides and lackeys condemning those who oppose it, Shawn Tully, editor at large of Forbes Magazine has actually read the thousands of pages of the proposed bills and discovered "You'll lose 5 key freedoms under Obama's health care plan." Uh oh! President Obama has repeatedly reassured Americans that they can keep their existing health plans -- and that the benefits and access they prize will be enhanced through reform. But that's not what the president says! That's not what the president's web site s promise. Providing facts from the proposed legislation, Tully then carefully details what Americans will lose. Let's explore the five freedoms that Americans would lose under Obamacare:
As Tully sums up In short, the Obama platform would mandate extremely full, expensive, and highly subsidized coverage -- including a lot of benefits people would never pay for with their own money -- but deliver it through a highly restrictive, HMO-style plan that will determine what care and tests you can and can't have. It's a revolution, all right, but in the wrong direction.
