Waxman also called Obamacare an 'enormous success'...oh, except for that website...WesternJournalism: According to Democrat Rep. Henry Waxman of California, the GOP is responsible because it purposely worked to stymie the socialized healthcare launch.
“We have already documented a record of Republicans attempting to sabotage the Affordable Care Act,” he claimed, blasting his political opponents for their support of a full repeal of the law.
“If we want this law to work,” he continued, “we have to make this right. We’ve got to fix it. Not what the Republicans are trying to do — nix and repeal it.”
His lunacy was joined by a fellow comrade...
WashingtonTimes: A Democratic congressman on Thursday called a Republican-led hearing on Obamacare glitches a “monkey court” designed to prevent Americans from enrolling for coverage through the new health care law.'Monkey court'...could you imagine a Republican saying this? Immediate calls of racism...but with a DemocRat, no problem.
Rep. Frank Pallone, of New Jersey, rebuked Rep. Joe Barton, Texas Republican, for claiming that legal language on the Obamacare website amounts to a violation of health privacy laws.
Now, I wanted to highlight both of those anti-free market idiots, because each brought up the default excuse why everyone, including Republicans and conservatives, should desire universal healthcare: preexisting conditions. And unfortunately, many on the right have fallen prey to this ruse. So, here's a FACT that needs to permeate throughout the internet and airwaves to once and for all shut down this sham. Levin referenced this research all the way back in January of 2011...
The right needs to seize this information and allow it, along with many of the other misconceptions and lies used to sell Obamacare, to shift the narrative from one of somehow fixing or tweaking the government's control of our health care in America to a principled approach that allows the free market to innovate solutions for these relatively small groups without destroying the entire private health care system for the rest of us.Habledash: John Goodman over at the National Center for Policy Analysis, who's been labeled as "the father of the health savings account," unveiled details and facts about pre-existing conditions, which was the centerpiece that liberals used during the debate.
Every argument came back to this topic and how evil insurance companies were for not accepting people with pre-existing conditions. The liberal media used this talking point to attack Republicans. We're now finding out how many people have pre-existing conditions that couldn't get coverage. It's actually nowhere near the lies fed to Americans by President Obama and Democrats.
"Out of 310 million Americans, only 8,000 people have the problem given as the principle reason for spending almost $1 trillion, creating more than 150 regulatory agencies and causing perhaps 150 million more people to change the coverage they now have."There's no point re-crafting what Goodman breaks down piece by piece. However, there is an important item to note. The government surveyed people about a potential policy issue to get ammunition. That's not how the government works. Typically, an organization lobbies over a certain issue to make it an issue so lawmakers address it. In this case, Obama's White House went out of their way to find an alleged problem, artificially inflate it and use it as ammunition.
