Obama Doesn't Know What's in his Own Bill

Obama held a 24 minute conference call with liberal bloggers on Monday July 20, 2009, urging them to write articles, to help get his healthcare bill passed. After being questioned about the following article, on IBD's site, he laughed, but them admitted, he was not aware of the contents of the bill.

"It didn't take long to run into an "uh-oh" moment when reading the House's "health care for all Americans" bill. Right there on Page 16 is a provision making individual private medical insurance illegal.
When we first saw the paragraph Tuesday, just after the 1,018-page document was released, we thought we surely must be misreading it. So we sought help from the House Ways and Means Committee.

It turns out we were right: The provision would indeed outlaw individual private coverage. Under the Orwellian header of "Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage," the "Limitation On New Enrollment" section of the bill clearly states:

"Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law.

So we can all keep our coverage, just as promised — with, of course, exceptions: Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it. Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers.

INEFFICIENCIES

[Bigone5555J]

@thegrinwithoutacat , Yes, that was one of the few times Obama was completely honest, and it went right over most people's heads.

[STARFIRESOLAR]

Wow, did anyone else catch that? In the first ten seconds of the video Obama says "The reforms we seek would bring greater compitition, choice, savings, and INEFFICIENCIES to our health care system..."

So he openly admits that he wants to bring greater INEFFICIENCIES to heath care!

[Bigone5555J]

Yes, he wants to destroy America.

[sandroeleven]

@idavidsawyer Agreed. Hopefully he will be a one term prez.

[idavidsawyer]

@brandonktom These are the same sheeple that voted for Obama simply because he's black and not on the actual issues, facts, and data.

[reggie02062]

@Sparisi1122 yes i believe that by his actions and lies he is uniting the country against him and i feel he may loose a good portion of his followers now that  voted for him he should be very nervous right now..
