This is just too good to be true, but alas, it is true! The WH is in full court press damage control mode because Drudge via Brietbart released the video of Barry saying that he favored a "single payer" government run health care plan. They are spinning as fast as they can at the WH. "This was completely taken out of context, blah, blah, blah, Ignore the man behind the curtain! The insurance companies are villains! Yeah, that's the ticket! Villains I say!"
So now Drudge has released a longer version of this video that puts Barry's Socialist pipe dream into even greater context. Please pay special attention to the part where the worst president in US history says, "everybody in, nobody out!" Also note that he is speaking to one his favorite groups! The AFL/CIO. That is the same exact union that bankrupted GM and Chrysler btw!

I mean we all know how well the government has managed Medicare, Medicaid, the DMV, the IRS, and on, and on, and on......Now some drones are stupid enough to trust that this government is going to cover every single man, woman, and child in the USA (Illegals too! Hooray!) Dr. Obama is going to cure all of our ills folks!
Jim Demint was absolutely right. This boondoggle is going to be his Waterloo, and it's going to destroy his presidency for one reason, and one reason only. It will destroy his presidency because he's too much of hard left ideologue to ever give two shits about the millions of Americans that want no part of some fucking bureaucrat in DC getting between them and their doctors. Obama can't be bothered with them. He has an agenda afterall.
You Obamabots had better wake the hell up! Your libral/socialist/Marxist hero is imploding right before your very eyes, and the USA will be all the better for it!

you do know the IRS functions outside of Govt. regulation? and there's no DMV in Texas, in other words DMV's or whatever you state has, is a state run, not Fed run... we are talking Fed I assume... or are you just grabbing as many dif. things as you can and throwing them around, saying look at this mess... and blaming someone else for the mess and then, in the form of your authouritarian questioning demand someone else clean up said mess, in the way you say it should be... are you following this?
Is the IRS a government run and operated tax collector? Yes.
Is the DMV a government run agency? Yes. In fact it is in every state. Maybe not Texas, but then again Texas, is for the most very conservative. The exception being Austin.
Is Medicare government run? Yes! Federally run in fact. Same goes for Medicare.
Let's take a look at how well the federal/state public school system is run, shall we? Every year we are told that we must pour more and more into public education. Yet we spend considerably more per student than every other Western country on the planet. What do we get for it? Teachers unions that resist any and all efforts at reform, and a student body that ranks amongst the lowest in the West!
No thank you! I know that the government screws up everything that they touch. I am not about to let the government determine how I am treated by my doctor.
Anyone, and I mean anyone, that thinks that government run health care is going to benefit them is either a complete fool, or very very blind as to how the government runs anything.
Guess how many MRI machines there are in the entire country of Canada Pdog? Put it this way. There are more MRI machines in the state of Connecticut them there are in Canada! Wonder why that is?Guess how long the wait is to get an MRI?
You want to know the truth about state run health care? Or do you just want to believe that Barry is going to do it better than every other state run plan worldwide?
Here are some quotes from people who have to live with the disastrous system they allowed to be foisted upon them by their "oh-so-caring" government.
Let's go to Canada first.
“I wouldn’t like to see Americans make the same mistake Canadians have made… Patients in Canada are treated like Third World citizens. Our health-care system is like Cuba or North Korea.”
- Lindsay McCreith (Brain tumor patient, Canada)
Let's take a hop across the pond, shall we? Sure let's!
"I’m a person who left school at 15 and I’ve worked all my life and I’ve paid into the system, and I’m not going to live long enough to get my old-age pension from this government.”
- Debbie Hirst (Breast cancer patient, UK)
Now Obama, a man who has done absolutely nothing other than represent ACORN, is going to fix the US "health care crisis" because he's way smarter than the Brits and Canucks! Right? If you believe that than you are a lost cause.
Here take the time and study this website. These are true stories about just how great state run insurance is. It's a very scary read, and anyone that thinks this is all about partisanship is wrong! This is about allowing the government to make life and death desissions for you and your family!
