Is The President Telling Us The True Costs of A Government Take Over of the Health Care Insurance Industry? - Consider the Current Tales with Those of LBJ. Read the full description.

Obama__takeoverhealthcarebx_150x_24kxjpg_small

In regard to proposed government health insurance take-over legislation, President Obama made some rather revealing statements about where the money for this would come.  Did you catch it all?

 

He says in essence that 2/3 of the money for it is money that the American taxpayers are already on the tax hook for and that the other 1/3 will come in the form of NEW TAXES perhaps Robin-Hood style -- maybe (?), legislation for which is yet to be drafted.

 

President Obama is attempting to persuade the American people and its legislative representatives who can vote something in or out via the House and the Senate that a new government program that he overtakes will be able to work flawlessly whereas the old one has not.  He says the new one will cost 1/3 more and will need 1/3 more in taxes from somewhere -- which President Obama would like to convince us should be shouldered by the rich to support the poor.  But should we not take a lesson from history?

 

LBJ told the Americans that Medicare/Medicaid would only cost the taxpayers $500 Million per year.  Reports are revealing that he probably knew that was not true as overstrapped taxpayers wrestle with a weakened economy and an outrageous government deficit.

 

Some LBJ tapes were recently released in which LBJ can be heard complaining to Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts that those fools in the budget office went and projected the costs of Medicare six years down the line and I'm losing votes because of it.

 

If we had had good costs projections for Medicare, we believe it would never have won.

 

The President wants to sell a new government-run health-care plan that some say is really a government attempt to takeover the lucrative health-care / medical business.

 

Among other things the host of this report spoke with James David Manning, who is the chief pastor at the Atlah World Missionary Church in New York City.  Pastor Manning is candid about his position regarding President Obama's efforts to sell the American people and its representatives on a government-run health care insurance business.


 

THIS PIECE IS LEFT OPEN-ENDED ON PURPOSE SO THAT STATIONS CAN TAKE ALL OR AS MUCH AS YOU WISH AND SHAPE IT AND TAG YOUR OWN ENDING -- AFTER SIMPLY WRITING AND TELLING US HOW YOU PLAN TO USE IT, THEN WE'LL GRANT A WRITTEN PERMISSION FOR YOU TO EXCERPT AND USE IT AS YOU'VE  INDICATED (AS LONG AS WE DO NOT FIND THE PROPOSED USE TO BE RUTHLESS).

 

Some questions this report helps us to ponder.  Are President Obama's tax-tics going to cost the American people a lot of money we just don't have -- witness our huge deficit -- and every time we just print money to cover it up, it's just costing us and our kids and our grandkids more!  Somebody has to pay the piper.  Stop aborting and killing off those new babies.  Let them grow up and pay off the huge debt that we're greatly magnifying under the current administration.  And may God please help us to have nothing more that's going to cost us big bucks in the long run -- no more obamanable tax-tics.

Funny Yet Shockingly True!

There's some great humor in this piece -- some of it subtle, some not so subtle. I am very interested in things that have impact on the Yankee dollar, our money. I know there is a great value in looking to history for lessons and I appreciate reports that bring history into consideration of what's happening today -- which this piece did outstanding well!

The errors in history and the deceit upon the people by a former president in this same kind of thing, by LBJ, should be very thought-provoking to every caring American.

And, I most especially appreciate the careful ear of the editors of this report to be catching the things that President Obama says straight out but then coaches those statements with words carefully crafted around them that sometimes can make us miss the real meaning. I believe in this report the editors and the host did a very good job of ferreting out those shocking phrases that the President made that to me reveals we are going to be in another grave mess financially and otherwise if the government is allowed to take over the health care insurance system.

That 1/3 tax the President mentioned that he will demand would surely become much more than that in the future and that our national deficit will not be increased by such a plan is something your report has helped me to see not to expect. The line of the President you isolated, ''That money one way or another is coming out of your pocket!'' Wow! Mr. Tax man!

Very good the way you brought in Senator Baner back and forth with Obama's speaking. That really showed that the Senator's prediction was correct and it showed that Obama will demand new taxes to keep the deficit from going higher because of his desires to take over the health-care insurance industry and keep things deficit neutral at the same time. I got it -- I heard it so well brought out in this exceptional report.

This report was VERY revealing! And, again, the humor in it was wonderful! (Love that cat that screeched when the President said the tax payers are already putting money for this into the kitty - ha! - but then he said there'd be a 1/3 tax increase -- and I believe that's only the part he's willing to admit to -- get him kitty!)

And what a candid speaker this program worked in by interviewing Pastor Manning, a black pastor from New York, someone from the Black community very willing to speak forthrightly.

I have to tell you that overall this program shocked me but the humor used throughout was quiet settling and made me able to handle the reality of mess we could be in in the future. Better to know ahead than to be shocked AFTER it happens. And, maybe this report could somehow help wake up even the President? Well, maybe it's not that good -- but good for those of us who believe in shouldering those burdens God has given each of us to bear -- and hopefully that's not too many more taxes! Get him kitty!

To the producer, VERY, VERY GOOD!
