Obama Slams Health Care Critics For Spreading "Outlandish Rumors"

Past efforts to overhaul the nation's health care system had different proponents, different opponents and different plans that were under consideration. But they have two things in common: They all ended in failure, and in every case, opponents used fear as a key weapon in their arsenal.

             
        Republicans insist that fear is not part of their strategy in trying to defeat the current health overhaul effort. "No one's trying to scare people with sound bites. I mean, you know, I've not done that, and I don't know any of the leaders in the House and Senate that have done that," Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said on NPR earlier this week.

But that's not convincing to many political scientists like Oberlander, who say they're hearing a lot of what they consider to be deliberate scare tactics.


               
        "Fear is crowding out the truth. And the truth ought to count for something in health care reform and American politics. And right now it doesn't," he says.

The current debate isn't yet over, but so far at least, biology has defeated logic every time

Hum, Canada has it, England has it, a lot of other countries have it but yet they come here for treatment a lot.  Wonder why that is......

Oh, and since you do so much reading and question asking who drafted the bill, not who added or changed certain parts who wrote the bill in the first place?

There you go throwing out that lie again.  Have you no integrity whatsoever?

Oh, oops, I forgot you can't take people's practical experience with it to draw a conclusion you have to look at stats drawn up by the people who are for it.  Silly me using that anecdotal evidence and common sense again to help form an opinion.   Oh gee I can't wait 'til the "free" health care comes into effect....gosh I'll get the best doctors and the most advanced care ever imagined...I'm soooo excited. And who's going to pay for all this????????  Well the rich and affluent of course like Charlie Wrangle, Barney Franks, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, & Harry Reid.  Of course they won't be on the same plan, no, they want us to have all that wonderful care for our very own and they'll stick with what they already have which we are paying for.  They're going to be so excited when those wonderful tax hikes for the rich take place and it includes them.  It will be so wonderful when the tax break drops off next year and the extra tax on goods and services takes effect so the lower and middle income aren't hurt by any tax increases.  Golly pa the gubments gonna help us out.....oh btw....no cost of living increase in Social Security next year 'cause even though costs for things are going up we gotta fund that "free" health care.

Oh, gee, silly me for not believing that the two or three stories some clown from Andertucky keeps bandying about are more statistically significant than an empirical analysis of the actual data.  Are you really that stupid?

The rest of your post is nothing more than the same baseless tripe you continue to spew long after it has been soundly disproven.

  indeed...trying to imply that there are droves of people coming here from England or Canada for health care.  It is an outright lie.

Did I say droves?  No I did not...droves of people can't afford to come here for treatment.

You said 'a lot' and that is a lie.

Prove it.
