The Progressives promise that Obamacare doesn’t mean a government takeover of health care. This is a total lie as many companies are seeking waivers from the law since they can’t afford the mandates. Health care costs are skyrocketing as insurance companies are forced to increase what they cover. The Federal government is imposing what is needed to be covered, hence de facto control over the system.
WASHINGTON — Even as House Republicans vow to repeal the health care law, government advisers are preparing this week to wade into one of the most contentious questions the legislation raises: What benefits must insurers cover?
The answer will affect tens of millions of Americans beginning in 2014: those who buy their own insurance and those who get coverage through small employers.
While the law outlines 10 broad categories of coverage — among them hospital and emergency services, prescription drugs, childbirth and pediatric care — it leaves specifics to the government.
Read the rest: Feds to decide what benefits health insurers must cover
Joe Wilson said it it best, they lied. Barack Hussein Obama and his Khmer Rouge like Progressive cronies lied about the intentions of this law. It’s not about health care, it’s about control over people’s lives. It is an early step to the Left’s long cherished goals of eugenics and population control. The means to achieve this is to force private insurers out of business and then the government will be the only provider in town. That was their goal all along and we are seeing the plan implemented before our eyes.
Addendum: The Face of Evil
Radical totalitarian Progressive with a bible Fred Phelps is an evil human being. Here is his comments on the tragedy that occurred in Arizona.
This is the face of evil!
That is exactly correct, just as gun control has nothing to do with crime, or even spree shooters, but is about controling the citizens and abridging their fundamental rights.
Guess they finally decided to read the darn thing and figure out what all those 2000+ pages really mean.

This is nothing new. Determinations of what a “Health Insurance” package will cover, while balancing both coverage and cost has been going on for ever. It’s always been done by the private carriers with varying degrees of Government interference or directive. What is new here is that the Federal Government will make those determinations themselves apparently without any recourse or appeal. But that is what Obamacare is all about, so nobody should be surprised. This is what the Dems and those few SOB Rhinos voted for.

Even after his ethics convictions they still give him credibility, using him as a source imputes undeserved credibility. Wasn’t he just re-elected? No wonder, short term memory, no honor, and thus no real consequences for one’s actions.

@ vagabond trader:
Blumenthal is the real puzzle. Reid didn’t get ousted, but the real story there was that he was in danger at all. Majority Leader is usually safe in the Senate. Blumenthal, though, is a
Vietnam Vetproven liar. Y’all get what you deserve if he crashes your state into the ground, just like I have no mercy for California (uber alles!) for re-electing Jerry Brown. He began the destruction so he might as well be there to finish the job he started?Obama will address the nation today about the shootings.
There have been pundits all over talking about how
he should “position” his message.
They are saying that the White House is still meeting
to get the message right for his “Oklahoma City” moment.
The effort is clearly to exploit the tragedy to rehab BHO.

We couldn’t have taken the Senate, anyway. It is more important that we have 41 solid Republicans in the Senate than that we have a weak “majority” made up of enough RINOs to pass Obama’s Agenda.

It would have been nice for him to have done something substantive after teh Ft.Hood massacre, you know, maybe even state that Mohammedan Terrorism is unacceptible, but he hadn’t lost a big election then.

Because he doesn’t feel real emotions, he has a lot of trouble making his expressions fit situations that would easily be reflected on the faces of normal people.
The best he will be able to muster is looking down his nose in a condescending way and doing a half frown.

In the end, though, Al Gore proved the superior snake oil salesman. Gore almost managed a government take-over of the entire economy in the name of Global Warming®, and he was set to siphon off his skim in the process. That would have in time made him the richest man in the world, no doubt. It only failed bcause his “science” was so poor tat a fifth grader could hav torn it apart, but even then had an insider not leaked the information about how bogus the “science” was ad got it on he internet he probaly would have gotten away wit it. As it is, he made a huge killing on his snake oil anstayed out of the penitentuary in the process. not bad for a decade’s worth of swallowing shit…

That is true, but they can only carry him so far. He’ll also have a core of Leftists, although his support there is dwindling because he isn’t Left enough. I will be very interested to see if he comes out with a call for new gun control coming out of this shooting, or if he leaves that to die in the House and Senate. I think that without Presidential pressure, nay, leadership, there is no way for new gun control to pass the House. I doubt Obama could shepherd it through, but it will be interesting to see if he even tries. Mara Liasson last night said that the Democrats had written gun control off. We are going to see.

Of course they are inciting violence. They all view themselves as these noble revolutionaries (until someone well-trained and with a better weapon is shooting back at them, that is).
You know damn well that the principle governing their rhetoric and behavior is “Repeat the lie often and loudly enough, and it will become truth”. Hence, repeated accusations of violence thrown at the “rightwingnutjobs”, paving the way for “leftwingnutjobs” to get away with violence. It’s not going to happen, of course, because many people are aware of propaganda techniques and can recognize them for what they are. Still, it is amusing to watch the idiots try.
If they get their “revolution”, it will be over in no time — as soon as they see one of their little greasy, emaciated, drug-ridden revolution-buddies drop dead with his head vaporized and feel the splatter of what used to be his skull all over their face. These are dumb spoiled overgrown children we are talking about. They only spew their crap and do what they do because they believe they are safe.

The Chantix, I believe, will work. In just the second day, the smokes just don’t feel as good, and “The Urge” seems to lessen progressively. Yeah, it’s a crutch, but it’s not “nicotine replacemnet”. It works on the receptors in your brain and that seems a logical recourse. It’s expensive, but my Fed health plan pays it in full.

No, it really isnt the “Who” it genuinely is the basic fundamental principals of Marxism that generate it’s results. The most basic and fundamental principal of Marxism is, “The end justifies the Means” it simply cannot be over stressed that the core ideology of Marxism is why every single time it has been attempted it has produced the exact same results, unparalleled bloodshed and incomprehensible misery.
