Obama goes FDR on Supremes as Americans not told truth about uninsured

Updated on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 12:34PM by Kay B. Day, Editor

President Barack Obama is having an FDR moment right now, awaiting the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act otherwise known as ObamaCare. Obama has the bully pulpit and he’s giving Americans the impression the healthcare market will be in disarray if this vast, sweeping bill of more than 2,000 pages is ruled unconstitutional.

However, Obama has deliberately omitted talking about exactly who the uninsured are.

American Doctors for Truth video shows target on seniors' backs

American Doctors for Truth created a video that memes the ‘Grandma off the cliff’ video Democrats unsuccessfully tried to use to maintain absolute power in Washington—the absolute of course ended in 2010 in the U.S. House. Physicians in this video are among the few in this country who will speak the truth about what a government takeover of healthcare will mean to all of us, but especially to the elderly.

Have you ever watched an elderly loved one navigate healthcare funded by Medicare?

Holder ups defense of healthcare diktat with shift to ‘Necessary and Proper’ clause

Attorney General Eric Holder isn’t exactly viewed as a champion of individual rights for all. His latest attempt to defend the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act—commonly called ObamaCare because it is, after all, the president’s signature cause—is to turn to the ‘Necessary and Proper’ clause in the U.S. Constitution.

Hey, Sandra—ObamaCare will ‘fluke’ all women

Sandra Fluke’s advocacy for faith-based institutions to cover birth control for employees and students in insurance policies distracted Americans—with help from axis media—from the conversation we should be having. The reality is that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as ObamaCare, will ‘fluke’ all women and men too.

For starters, Fluke’s advocacy will be rendered irrelevant.

Political Math Blog had fun with political healthcare bill

Political Math Blog is one of those websites you really should bookmark. The blogger always has something interesting up and a recent Tweet alerted me to one of his posts that should be a classic. If you read here regularly, you know about my obsession with the revenue bill Democrats call the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare.

You also know that I read the bill as the House and Senate played politics and I declared it one of the worst pieces of legislation I'd ever seen. Time proved me correct on points like the 1099 repeal, the implosion of CLASS and the fact the bill was nothing more than a tax bill aimed at increasing the government's market share on health insurance.

Anyway, that Tweet from Political Math Blog on Twitter pointed to this video. I wish I'd seen it earlier because if I had, I'd have posted it then as one of my many rants and analyses!

ObamaCare chickies come home to roost for unions—and the rest of us

Some union members working for PepsiCo are upset about a sin tax on their health insurance premiums. PepsiCo, like many other companies in the U.S. now charges some categories of workers an additional $50 a month. The trend is a result of expanded political intrusion into the health sector.

Having voted for Obama, why are Catholics surprised at his abortion policy?

 As evidenced by the banner at the US Dept. of Health and Human Services, the organization's 'goal' is unconstitutional. (US Govnmt. and taxpayers' image)

Obama’s policies on abortion are as far left as you can get, as noted at Issues2000. Among them:

“On March 30, 2001, Obama was the only Illinois senator who rose to speak against a bill that would have protected babies who survived late term labor-induced abortion. Obama rose to object that if the bill passed, and a nine-month-old fetus survived a late-term labor-induced abortion was deemed to be a person who had a right to live, then the law would ‘forbid abortions to take place.’ Obama further explained the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment does not allow somebody to kill a child, so if the law deemed a child who survived a late-term labor-induced abortion had a right to live, ‘then this would be an anti-abortion statute.’"

Sounds like political doublespeak to me. Late term abortion is a fixed term—nothing flexible about it. I know supporters of abortion rights in some circumstances who are horrified at the prospect of late term abortion. Why are pro-Obama Catholics horrified at Obama's policy now?
