I’m skeptical.

I’m not surprised.

BO,Reid,Pelosi, the 3 stooges

Ouuucchh!

Up to 52% disapproval. For you harvard fellas Obama, that’s a majority.

“In 2006 the Census Bureau reported that there were 46.6 million people without health insurance. About 9.5 million were not United States citizens. Another 17-million lived in households with incomes exceeding $50,000 a year and could , presumably, purchase their own health care coverage. Eighteen million of the 46.6 million of the uninsured were between the ages of eighteen and thirty four, most of whom were in good health and not necessarily in need of health-care coverage or chose not to purchase it. Moreover, only 30 percent of the non-elderly population who became uninsured in a given year remained uninsured for more than twelve months. Almost 50 percent regained their health coverage within four months. The 47-million ” uninsured” figure used by Pelosi and others is widely inaccurate ” ( Levin,2009 p.107)

I will put this in terms the 3 stooges can understand

I don’t get it

Obama told the students that in the 1940s and 50s, “most of the wealthy countries around the world decided to set up health care systems that covered everybody. The United States — for a number of different reasons — organized their health care around employer-based health insurance.”

That is neither accurate nor is it impartial reporting of historical fact. The United States in the 1940s and 50s did not organize health care around employer-based health insurance; that did not occur until entering the 1970s. In the 1940s and 50s Americans bought catastrophic insurance policies should hospitalization be required, but paid out of pocket per doctor visit and for injuries like broken bones. It wasn’t until Congress padded its own ass with gold plated health insurance coverage that other government workers started to demand employer based health insurance that began being serviced by Blue Cross Blue Shield, but ultimately the insurance industry decided to go the HMO route for purposes based upon their own profits, not based upon servicing either the patients best interests or doctors modus operandi at the time. That did not begin happening until government employees demanded similar consideration on a lower scale to what Congress gave itself. So you have state employees and later county and municipal employees demanding what Congress provided itself. Of course huge corporations used benefits to draw employees.

For all of the above to have manipulated events to the detriment of small businesses and entrepreneurs is bad enough. But to go to the HR3200 length to strangle the businesses into bankruptcy by mandating that small businesses provide every benefit package that Congress deems the IRS can coerce, regardless of the business’s income and inability to purchase mandated coverage for all employees regardless of employment status, proves the malicious intent of the Bill’s sponsors and supporters.

If you submit to the IRS a minor error, obviously by accident, the IRS will refuse you any leniency, no consideration to be tolerated by the IRS under any circumstance, and the IRS will charge 40% penalties, twice the current rate.

And that doesn’t even begin to address the thousands of dollars fined from families earning too little to pay for what the Democrat/Obama HR3200 mandates. As if that’s going to help provide those who can’t afford to buy what it is that they can’t buy. Families have modest mortgages and utilities, but because they manage to get by, they aren’t given any consideration. I told you all that Obama would tax low income families just like Clinton took 1/3 out of a subsistence family of four income of $24K/year for the IRS Federal Income Tax (not counting state and local taxes), and Carter burdened the lower income bracket. Our interest rates for debt to pay for the loans to pay the taxes will be worse with Obama than the 24-32% interest rates the self righteous Jimmy Carter blessed us with.

Erin: I’ll cover the “under” on that bet… If you Mainers “WISE UP” and vote her out, come on down to DC and I’ll buy you a NICE STEAK DINNER at “Ray’s the Steaks” in Arlington…

Not likely…

How gauche! It is a breach of etiquette to triple dog dare before you triple dare.
