OBAMA and the "Honest Debate" Deception

One thing that I always wonder when I hear the President speak is how more people don't catch the fact that he's double speaking. What he says and what he does never lines up completely.

Take, for instance, the following glimpse at what he's planning with his single-payer Health care plan. Please watch this.



The President has said all along that he wants to give the people choice with healthcare plans, but this video shows what the agenda is, and how the words that Obama uses don't quite explain things too clearly.

With a single-payer plan funded by the Federal Government, not only would you have your healthcare managed by the same team that brings you the fabulously efficient Motor Vehicle Divisions across the country, but you would quickly see funding becoming a major source of pain to the taxpayers of this country. Furthermore, what happens when funding is becoming scarce for the Medicare on steroids? What will happen is what has happened in Canada and Britain, just to name a couple of examples, which is healthcare rationing. Healthcare rationing means that not only will there be a pure shortage of services, which will lead to waiting lists and lines for something so simple as a checkup, but also a bureaucratic analysis of what "efficient" concerning costs of care.

So, for example, if you're a financially secure 55 year old white male, and you need some radical surgery to replace your left leg because of a crazy shark attack at Pebble Beach - just hypothetically - you'd be able to get the surgery on a private plan, but when you try and apply for the surgery on the Gov. Health plan, your case would go to a "committee" where they discuss if your surgery is cost effective. Verdict: live without the left leg.

Realistically, people die on Canadian Healthcare waiting lists on a semi-regular basis waiting for things like Chemo-Therapy or Heart Surgery. Here's a little database of some specifics.

Bottom line: The people advocating Government Healthcare in that video, and all over the country, believe that the single-payer Government Health plan will be compassionate, and equitable, but it will more than likely be neither.
