Obama Slams Health Care Critics For Spreading "Outlandish Rumors"

[Bo D]

I'm not saying our current plan does not need fixed.....I AM in favor of reform....just not the one that is being presented...

Come on, Henry. Please tell us, in your OWN words, EXACTLY what is wrong with the "one that is being presented."

All you have done is parrot a shopping list of half-truths and near-lies from the very organizations who stand to profit most if the status quo is maintained.

Finance Committee Democrat Won't Read Text of Health Bill, Says Anyone Who Claims They'll Understand It 'Is Trying to Pull the Wool Over Our Eyes'


"I don't expect to actually read the legislative language because reading the legislative language is among the more confusing things I've ever read in my life,"

# Story Highlights
# Senate Finance Committee is expected to vote on health overhaul plan Tuesday
# Industry group: Private health insurance would rise over next decade under plan
# Panel spokesman calls analysis "a health insurance company hatchet job"
# The $829 billion compromise plan excludes government-run public option

The White House blasted the report Monday, calling it inaccurate and self-serving.

"This is a self-serving analysis from the insurance industry, one of the major opponents of health insurance reform," White House spokesman Reid Cherlin said.

"It comes on the eve of a vote that will reduce the industry's profits. It is hard to take it seriously. The analysis completely ignores critical policies [that] will lower costs for those that have insurance, expand coverage and provide affordable health insurance options to millions of Americans who are priced out of today's health insurance market or are locked out by unfair insurance company practices."

Finance Committee spokesman Scott Mulhauser called the analysis "a health insurance company hatchet job -- plain and simple."

And the propaganda continues! More self serving tripe from the scamming insurance industry!

Of course the White House is going to say it's tripe since they have their own agenda.

And the insurance companies don't have an agenda? Who stands to profit most if healthcare reform fails?

It's amazing how many people don't have a smidgen of a clue.

The agenda of providing affordable health care to all Americans?  WTF are they thinking?
