Litany of Lies

My constant fear since Barack Hussein Obama took office has been that he will use any means to acquire and advance self-perpetuating power. One of the surest means to do so would be to foist government into the relationship between a patient and his doctor, which ultimately could lead to a nameless, faceless bureaucrat, perhaps one with a political bias and malign intentions, controlling both the patient and the care provider. Of course, those pushing the Obama care agenda deny any such premise, but every dictator who has ever gained power has claimed only the best of intentions. As for the care regime itself, it is falsely premised using manipulated numbers where six years of care are financed by ten years of revenue collection (read as taxes). Cost savings are premised on cuts to Medicare which with the inevitable hue and cry of senior citizens when any such reductions start, will never be carried forward to completion. The only way such a massive takeover of a sixth of the US economy can work economically is if draconian care rationing (read as death panels) begins. Obama and his Democrats of course also deny that any care rationing will take place although Obama himself said he would deny an elderly grandmother a pacemaker and force her to take "the pain pill" option. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of Obama's Chief of Staff, and one of the closest advisers to Obama on his health care agenda, is one of the foremost advocates of care rationing in the nation, favoring denying care to the aged and infirm as a cost saving measure. Of course, Obama would not admit to being a proponent of such a death-hastening scheme. So the Obama care scheme is falsely premised, being falsely sold to the public with over optimistic projections of public benefits, deliberate understatement of the program's costs, and a cover up of the way the scheme will limit care choices, diminish freedom, and shorten lives.
