ObamaCare Unveiled

A new Rasmussen poll out this week reveals that the more Americans learn about the Democrats’ Orwellian-named Quality and Affordable Health Care for All Americans plan, the less they like it.

As QAHCAA has taken center stage nationally, a 53% majority has come around to oppose it.

• This could be because word has gotten out that the bill explicitly forces people who change jobs or change their health care plans into the new taxpayer-funded public plan, thus over time destroying private options.
• Or it could be because Obama’s own Congressional Budget Office has testified that the plan will increase, not decrease, health care costs. Or it could be because the plan is built on yet another massive tax increase.
• Or it could be because Americans got one look at Texas Rep. Kevin Brady’s flowchart of this monster and decided they wanted no part of it (see below)!

Sensing that his health care bill’s own pulse may be fading, the president decided to lend his dropping personal credibility to the effort in yet another prime-time press conference Wednesday. But instead of garnering the usual mainstream media fawning, he found himself roundly fact-checked by the Associate Press. The AP caught President Obama delivering several falsehoods and half-truths, including this whopper:

OBAMA: “You haven’t seen me out there blaming the Republicans.”

THE FACTS: Obama did so in his opening statement, saying, “I’ve heard that one Republican strategist told his party that even though they may want to compromise, it’s better politics to ‘go for the kill.’ Another Republican senator said that defeating health reform is about ‘breaking’ me.”

Thanks at least in part to growing national outrage at the Democrats’ statist health care overreach, Republicans now lead the generic Congressional ballot poll by four points. And by the way, the QAHCAA bill in its present form does not explicitly rule out federal funding for abortion. That means that taxpayer dollars will be used to pay for abortions if this legislation passes.

The Democrats’ have taken all this evidence as a sign that they have to push harder to get their government-run health care system takeover passed and put into law, and that’s what they’re doing. So while the polling is breaking away from them, this is no time to give up the fight. Call your senators and call your congressman and tell them, politely but firmly, that you oppose the Democrats’ health care bill and you will remember how they vote on this legislation.
