Fearmonger-in-chief: Pass my crappy bill or people will die
posted at 10:30 pm on September 9, 2009 by Allahpundit
“Everyone in this room knows what will happen if we do nothing,” says the guy who’s committed to doing nothing about social security, Medicare, and the mind-bogglingly enormous deficits that promise fiscal catastrophe in the years ahead while he saddles America with yet another red-ink-bleeding government program. Note well: He’s actually promoting a plan that will lead to health-care rationing as a way to prolong Americans’ lives. We’re living your dream, Orwell. Click the image to watch.

Any thoughts on Arizona’s initiative and what it may mean regarding 10th Amendment challenges to Obamacare? I hope people don’t take this crap lying down should it pass.

Cindy Munford on September 9, 2009 at 10:50 PM
I think it needs to be reformed but it’s not anywhere near the top of the list. If I were President – I’d commission a non-political board to come up with CAPITALISTIC options to provide Americans with the best health care possible. But the direction to the board would be – “People have a responsibility also”.
We have the best healthcare in the world … so good in fact that the “rejects” from countries with broken nationalized systems come here for treatment.
We need to be careful not to kill what we have.

Hey troll, answer the question …….
Where are all the lame trolls?
I want one of them to explain to us why their party is incapable of passing this bill. Why blame Republicans for the failure of Democrats to get there own legislation passed, while they have a majority in both houses?
We’ll be waiting.
fogw on September 9, 2009 at 10:53 PM
+ a trillion or two
No bill. No negotiation, no compromise. Reduce the deficit by the unspent porkulus $ and layer on another 10% across the board reduction in federal outlays. Gotta starve the beast!

What a surprise to see his complete dishonesty, his lack of civility, his campaign pugnaciousness, and his partisanship on an issue that will only move forward with deft statesmanship, class and intelligence.
I, for one, am glad that he chose to be himself, and not someone else. This flaming turd of socialist pap can now get squashed by the boot of acrimony. Good riddens.

Where to start. Well, Tort reform and eliminating barriers to purchasing insurance out of state.
And, the “billions” of $ of fraud and abuse in Medicare/Medicaid seems to be a very strong arguement AGAINST
gonegaltinstl on September 9, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Nothing silly about it. It struck my memory, and the medical description you gave it made me think that it is this bill. After all, it is supposed to be his “signature” piece of legislation.

Texyank on September 9, 2009 at 10:57 PM
No. It’s not my opinion. I’m not open to reforming anything until I know why it needs reforming. In this case, the argument as to why health care costs so much has not been offered. Why does health insurance cost so much? Uh…because doctors and hospitals charge a lot.
Why do doctors and hospitals charge so much? Because they’re doctors, silly. Seriously though, why does it cost $300 just to have an MD walk into a small room and tell you to take off your clothes? Why does an MRI cost thousands fo dollars? I understand the MRI machine has a high capital cost. Why does a hospital charge $8.00 for a Tylenol (of OTC strength) when I can buy a jar of 50 for the same price?
It’s not the insurance companies or employers that set the base price. It’s the service providers. No one of “authority” is willing to speak about this.
How many doctors file for bankruptcy because they have too many patients? To hear them speak, you’d think they’d all be bankrupt but as a group, they seem to be doing okay.
Hmmmm…..

“Now look at one way Mr. Obama wants to eliminate inefficiency and waste: He’s asked Congress to create an Independent Medicare Advisory Council—an unelected, largely unaccountable group of experts charged with containing Medicare costs. In an interview with the New York Times in April, the president suggested that such a group, working outside of “normal political channels,” should guide decisions regarding that “huge driver of cost . . . the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives . . . .”
Given such statements, is it any wonder that many of the sick and elderly are concerned that the Democrats’ proposals will ultimately lead to rationing of their health care by—dare I say it—death panels? Establishment voices dismissed that phrase, but it rang true for many Americans”
dhunter on September 9, 2009 at 10:59 PM
I had the same thought. I wondered briefly if his admirers might think it odd but then I realized they would consider him bilingual.
Cindy Munford on September 9, 2009 at 10:59 PM
Where to start. Well, a short list would include Tort reform, eliminating barriers to purchasing insurance out of state and reducing the myriad duplicative regulatory requirements (including mandated coverage) would seem to be obvious places.
And, the “billions” of $ of fraud and abuse in Medicare/Medicaid seems to be a very strong arguement AGAINST a bigger role for the Feds, not a supporting one.

Oh, I don’t know, Dave. The gang seems in pretty good form to me. Be sure to come back for part 2 of this discussion, which cannot take place until O’Bozo pays the piper for his punk speech tonight. That would be the piper who is going to send O’Bozo’s socialized healthcare bill down in flames, due to his childish rhetoric.

jana on September 9, 2009 at 11:03 PM
‘Don’t go throwin out all those babies in all that bathwater’ is all my momma has to say about all this healthcare stuff.
There’s a lot of tweaking that can be done to improve what’s lousy without overhauling or scrapping the best medical care in the world.
Obama just wants us all dependent on the government, pure and simple. When Obama controls who gets treated and who doesn’t, it’s pretty much over, isn’t it?
In the end, rest assured it’s all part of redistributing wealth in one way or another.
marybel on September 9, 2009 at 11:03 PM

In a sense, but the Erie Canal turned out to be a pretty good investment, not just for NY but for the country as a whole much like the Interstate Highway System.
I’m not sure the quote used above was relative to the Eirie Canal (where the POTUS vetoed a bill that would have used Federal dollars to build it), but my point is there are some large capital expenses (typically for infrastructure) which only the government can provide.
Can you imaging the rats nest of highways we’d have if the states or private enterprise were left to build it without Federal standards?
Government-run healthcare is a bad idea. I’m not all that fond of paying for Medicare, but I do see a need for it. It’s not the program itself, but the fraud and waste that comes with entitlement programs that we can’t afford.

I’ll re post my dream for whatever it’s worth,(also, you said my dream was about the GOP, actually, in the dream, there really wasn’t a distinction about GOP or Dem.)
As I remember it,,, I was looking down over congress and it was different. (meaning, there were different faces) Everyone was working quickly and quietly and as one. They were all working to overturn all that Obama had done, but going even further. They were also working to remove all traces of his Presidency.(in the dream, I remember thinking it reminded me of how a surgeon would be quickly working to save a dying patient. Working quickly and quietly. Obama was gone. In the dream I do not know what had happened to him,,or where he was, just that he was gone. And not just him, but everyone that was associated with him. He was nowhere in Washington. Then it was like I could see all over DC,, and the streets were filled with crowds of people They were all standing in groups and they were all very quiet and looking towards the Capital,, waiting for word on what congress was doing. And congress was doing everything that these people wanted. It was also very solemn in the dream. There was no happiness over anything. It was just like a very solemn dream. I don’t want to say depressing,,, but serious. Very serious. It was kind of a heavy dream. One other thing I didn’t post,,, in the dream that I remember, it was like there wasn’t any President at that time. It was strange. Just like all the focus was on congress and this serious work they were doing to correct everything,, and they were doing it all in a hurry. and they were all acting as one.
I make no claim that this dream is a prediction of anything. I’m not in that business. But it was a dream I had,, and then I woke up from it,, and it all seemed very real and heavy.
JellyToast on September 9, 2009 at 11:11 PM
The only way Waste, fraud and abuse is found in the healthcare system is when insurance companies find it. I should know – that’s my job.
Medicare and Medicaid are frigging useless in that case. They follow what the insurance companies do.

Someone mentioned tort reform, and for certain that would be a requirement to do anything in the way of reform, IMHO.
But the next step after that for me would be what level of government regulation does the health insurance industry require? Or is it just an actuarial exercise?
ReaganRoxx on September 9, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Clearly Obama’s team of eggheads recently came across this astonishing fact. 100% of humans will, at some point, die.
Obama is pulling out all the stops to end this epidemic of death, even though that may reduce the number of registered Democrat voters in many districts.

If your crappy bill gets passed, more people will die, which is what you want. Balance the budget on elderly dead who don’t get social security or medicare that they paid in for. If it’s up to Obama, the US will be Abortion-Euthanasia Nation. Killing citizens and potential citizens reduces potential unfunded government liabilities. So much for the God-given rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
