Obamacare Myths and Facts

White House adviser David Axelrod is going to try to start his own viral e-mail responding to attacks on Obamacare. It will include responses to eight “myths” about Obamacare, and since I know all of you come to IMAO as your primary news source, I obtained those myths and the White House’s response so you can see them here:

MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT OBAMACARE

MYTH: Obamacare will institute “death panels” to judge who should live and who should die.
FACT: People deciding who will live and who will die will be single Obama-appointed bureaucrats, so no panels are involved.

MYTH: Obamacare will force you from your current employer provided insurance.
FACT: With Obama leading the economy, you were probably going to lose your job and insurance anyway.

MYTH: Obamacare will kill your grandma.
FACT: Your grandma will die from a natural condition that Obamacare will refuse to treat.

MYTH: Obamacare will lead to rationing.
FACT: Procedures will be eliminated wholesale instead of rationed.

MYTH: Obamacare will make me wait weeks or months for necessary medical procedures.
FACT: If you’re waiting that long, then obviously a qualified individual like Barney Frank or Nancy Pelosi decided the procedure wasn’t necessary.

MYTH: Obamacare will be financed by cutting Medicare.
FACT: Obamacare will be financed by eliminating Medicare recipients.

MYTH: While many people will be forced onto the substandard public option, members of Congress will get a separate, much better plan.
FACT: They will be on the same plan, but on a much much higher tier than will be made available to the hoi polloi.

MYTH: Obamacare will be extremely costly and result in putting the country even further in debt.
FACT: There is no confirmation of this, as the solar-powered calculator Obama tried to use to calculate the cost only allowed numbers up to the tens of billions.

  9. Folks need to stop talking about the Details of the non-health care bill and simply oppose government sponsored health care.

    The bill could be one sentence that says – Free health Care for Everyone at the Mayo Clinic for Life ! and a month after it passes the feds will turn it into the hellhole that it is now. Though it deserves mention that these suckers are so arrogant that they actually tell you ahead of time in black and white in the bill that you have a hellhole to look forward to after it passes.
