AARP's Billion Dollar Obamacare Windfall, Biggovernment.com
Saturday, July 16, 2011
"Why did AARP so aggressively lobby for passage of the law? After all, the plan was built on $500 billion in cuts to Medicare. Even in Washington, half a trillion dollars is still a ton of money. Medicare is sacrosanct among America’s senior citizens. It was unfathomable to me that the nation’s largest membership association of seniors would, not just not oppose the cuts, but would actively lobby for them. It didn’t make any sense".

Even Democrat Supporters of the PPACA Want Out
Monday, April 11, 2011
President Obama's cousin, Dr. Milton Wolf, provides details on all the failures of the president's healthcare law and how even the most ardent, dedicated supporters of the law are doing everything possible to be exempt or "waived" from complying with it's mandates.

Sebelius Still Delusional About Alleged HCR Law Benefits and Berwick Still Doing Special Deals, The American Spectator
Sunday, March 27, 2011
|
In the American Spectator, Robert Goldberg, recalls an op-ed written by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, which proclaims, "Everyone prospers under health law." Unfortunately, the reality of the situation is far more grim than she and the rest of the administration are letting on. The immediate changes that have taken place-the provision that young people can stay on their insurance plans until they're 26 and "pre-existing" conditions cannot be excluded-have barely made any impact. Most adult children are already covered by their parents' plans thanks to state laws. In addition, only 280,000 people have signed up for coverage with "pre-existing" conditions-far less than the 4-6 million people the administration projected. Finally, the "accountability" measures placed on insurers have caused costs to skyrocket, while thousands of waivers have been granted to companies who happen to support the administration. For more reasons why we shouldn't be celebrating ObamaCare's birthday, please read this article: |

White House Seeks to Boost Public Support for Health Bill, Wall Street Journal
Saturday, March 19, 2011
On the PPACA's one year anniversary, the Obama administration propaganda "machine" is ready to roll out another nationwide public relations show in order to continue peddling their unpopular and financially "disastrous" health care takeover. Gas prices are at record highs, the Middle East is in chaos under civil war, the economic superpower of Japan is in a crisis that threatens the economic stability of the entire world and our nation is crumbling under a fourteen trillion dollar national debt, yet the White House feels compelled to squander additional taxpayer money to continuously try to brainwash the American public into "liking" their idea of healthcare reform. Here is a News Flash to Kathleen Sebelius, President Obama and the rest of the Washington elite: Americans have had time to learn what is in the law and they reject it by even greater margins than one year ago and they are growing tired of the endless selling of Obamacare and want the president and elected officials to focus on the major issues of the day.

Health Bill Vote In Sight, Dems Seeking Gains Include Provision For Tennessee Hospitals, Knoxville News
Saturday, March 20, 2010
Democratic leaders in the U.S. House, still trying to pick up enough votes to pass a sweeping health care reform bill Sunday, have inserted a provision into the legislation that would bring millions of dollars to Tennessee hospitals that treat large numbers of poor people.
The language, part of a package of revisions released Thursday, would provide $100 million over the next two years to hospitals in states that do not receive federal funds for providing a disproportionate share of uncompensated care.
Members of Tennessee's congressional delegation have been working for years to pass similar legislation, and its inclusion in the health care bill is seen by many as a last-ditch effort by Democrats to influence lawmakers who may be on the fence about health care reform or persuade others to switch their "no" votes to "yes."

White House Cuts Special Help For Nebraska, But Other Deals Remain In Reform Bill, ABC News
Monday, February 22, 2010
ABC News' Zachary B. Wolf reports: It is clear that priority number one for the White House health reform summit is to cleanse the health reform legislation process in the eyes of Americans who soured on the process and became convinced that the House and Senate bills were behind closed doors with special treatment for certain lawmakers.

Small Group Now Leads Closed Door Reform Negotiations, Washington Post
Sunday, October 18, 2009
Three months before he was elected president, Barack Obama vowed not only to reform health care but also to pass the legislation in an unprecedented way.
"I'm going to have all the negotiations around a big table," he said at an appearance in Chester, Va., repeating an assertion he made many times. He said the discussions would be "televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies."
But now, as a Senate vote on health-care legislation nears, those negotiations are occurring in a setting that is anything but revolutionary in Washington: Three senators are working on the bill behind closed doors.
