Default Obama Myths

Got another interesting email today. It listed some 'Obama Myths'.

Obama Myth #1: You can keep your doctor; you can keep your health care
plan.


it doesn't matter if you can keep your doctor. private insurance
companies only let you choose doctors with degrees from the
philippines, or the university of st. george's in the grenadines. they
don't pay for anything that actually makes you sick, claiming that
everything is a 'pre existing condition'.

so it's a myth you get to choose your doctor under private enterprise.
what actually happens is your insurance company rations health care
based on the latest dividend statement to stockholders


Obama Myth #2: The AARP supports ObamaCare.
In response to the President's claims, the AARP issued a statement
which asserted that "indications that we have endorsed any of the
major health care reform bills currently under consideration in
Congress are inaccurate." However, 60,000 AARP members have
discontinued their membership - so one might assume it is a business
decision for them.


?? now THIS makes no sense. is he saying that AARP DOESN"T support
obama and therefore 60K seniors DO and quit? 60K members is about 1%
of AARP's membership....

and many of them have govt health insurance


Obama Myth #3: 46 million Americans are uninsured and uninsurable.
According to the Census Bureau, of the 46 million Americans who are
uninsured:

* * * 10.1 million are individuals who have income of $66,000 for a
family of four, but who elect to remain uninsured.


IOW they can't afford to pay for it because their employer doesn't
cover them and 66K is not enough to raise a family of 4 AND pay 2000/
month for health insurance

* * * 5 million are childless adults, mainly healthy, young adults who
simply do not wish to pay for insurance.

That last one, especially, has been in the mill for quite a while now.
The major media never mentions it, of course.


seems ol' guzzie, like the right winger he is, doesn't know crap about
crap....
