Have you seen the creepy youtube from the White House Office of Healthcare Reform seeking help to rat out people like me and Peter who spread disinformation through emails, casual conversations and passing notes in school about health "insurance" reform (which is it guys?)
Here it is...
Well, ok...
So how about Obama vs. Obama. Is that fishy disinformation?
Here is the President's response -- captured in the clip provided by The Disinformation Czarina -- to a question posed by Jake Tapper about whether people will have to change plans or not:
"Well, all right- when I say if you have your plan and you like it, and your doctor has a plan- or you have a doctor and you like your doctor, that you don't have to change plans, what I'm saying is the government is not going to make you change plans under health reform. Now, are there going to be employers right now, assuming we don't do anything- let's say that we take the advice of some folks who are out there and say, "Oh, this is not the time to do health care. We can't afford it. It's too complicated. So, let's take our time," et cetera. So let's assume that nothing happened. I can guarantee you that there's the possibility for a whole lot of Americans out there that they're not going to end up having the same health care they have. Because what's going to happen is, as costs keep on going up, employers are going to start making decisions. We've got to raise premiums on our employees. In some cases, we can't provide health insurance at all. And so there are going to be a whole set of changes out there. That's exactly why health reform is so important."
Left unsaid in all this is whether the government will try to keep you from changing plans if you want (which happens in all bills) or using Medicaid as a dumping ground for people. And the President pretty cheery about the possibilities of a government run plan being lots cheaper than a private plans:
"So there are going to be some ground rules that are going to apply to all insurance companies. Because I think the American people understand that, too often, insurance companies have been spending more time thinking about how to take premiums and then avoid providing people coverage than they have been thinking about how can we make sure that insurance is there; health care is there when families need it. But, I'm confident that, if- you know, I take those advocates of the free market to heart when they say that, you know, the free market is innovative and is going to compete on service and is going to compete on, you know, their ability to deliver good care to families. And if that's the case, then this just becomes one more option. If it's not the case, then I think that that's something that the American people should know."
Is that because he knows government can set prices and low-ball private companies who are forced to charge young and healthy people higher premiums to subsidize sick and health people.
That's also in all the bills.
Is Obama vs the actual legislation fishy?
