Universal Health Care ~ The Lie

I have been meaning to post on this for a while. The great lie.

If you have been watching the news or Obama lately... you must have heard our President repeatedly say that under his plan you will have the choice to keep your own plan, if you like it. He says this every opportunity he can.

And its a lie.

According to the bill, there will be many new requirements for health insurance plans. It will mean that your plan will be required, most likely, to change. It will become much more expensive for the insurance company.. and so more so for either you or your boss.

But to me the bigger lie is the lie of omission. You see.... IF this plan passes the ability to get private insurance IMMEDIATELY freezes. So.. that means, if you like the plan you have RIGHT NOW... and the plan continues, you can keep it. BUT... if you change jobs... or the plan cancels... or you want to shop for a different plan.. YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. The only option will be to go to the government plan. You can't get a different private plan. It is forbidden.

So, when Obama says you can keep your plan he is telling you half the story.

And then there is the care under the plan... our government workers have no plans to take the plan.. nor Congress... any idea why not? lol. They like their private plan. Its better. You may be forced to be on a public plan, but they won't. Too bad, so sad.

For an often times funny.. but very informative piece on universal health care... watch steven crowder's video.



I know I say this a lot.. but get involved. Write or call your Congressman or woman.
