The president’s promise that we could keep our doctor and our health insurance, and that premiums would be lower proved to be lies. He illegally approved changes and granted waivers to the legislation. And we learned that a billion dollars had been spent on the website, where personal security is still in question.
In a 2010 interview, Michigan’s Rep. John Dingell, cited ObamaCare as a means for controlling the people. (patdollard.com)
As if we didn’t have enough early evidence that ObamaCare was destined to be a failure. The revelations of recent weeks are even more damnable.
Most recently, a 2010 tape surfaced of Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) speaking of ObamaCare on WJR’s Paul W. Smith Show in Detroit, during which he tells Smith that it takes a lot of hard work and preparation to create a system that will “control the people.” A big government socialist statement if I ever heard one.
Last month, Jonathan Gruber, one of the architects of the health insurance plan, referred to taxpayers as being stupid and praised the lack of transparency in the current administration. And it’s all on tape.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refused to acknowledge Gruber’s contribution to ObamaCare and any memory of meeting him. Isn’t it interesting that, while Gruber speaks with full knowledge of the inner workings of the plan, it was Pelosi who said we had to pass it to find out what’s in it.
Sen. Charles Schumer shocked everyone with his statement that pushing ObamaCare in 2008 was a mistake. (cnsnews.com)
Then, in an appearance before the National Press Club, the third highest ranked Democrat in the Senate, Charles Schumer (D-NY), criticized his party for focusing on ObamaCare in 2008. The focus should have been on growing the middle-class. Why then, was he so firmly advocating comprehensive immigration reform last year as a member of the Gang of Eight?
Kathleen Sebelius, who resigned as the head of HHS after failing to deliver a viable affordable health insurance plan, disputed that Gruber was one of the plan’s architects in a Dec. 2, interview with USA Today. Yet he was paid a $400,000 consulting fee. Where was she when Gruber was in meetings in the White House? Incidentally, she too insulted taxpayers, referring to their lack of financial literacy.
I encourage you to tune in Tuesday to the House Oversight Committee hearings to witness the testimony of Gruber and Marilyn Tavenner, head of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It will be interesting to note what they will say while under oath.
Just thought you would like to know: Half the senators (30) who voted for ObamaCare will not be members of the new Republican-controlled Senate.
