There are a number of myths afoot…at least that’s what Obama would have you believe.
Actually, he’s kinda right, but not in the way he thinks. Basically, he is busy countering the claims of concerned conservatives, charging that they are spreading myths and lies. His counters are centered around a few sticking points:
1) My health care bill will not give coverage to illegal immigrants.
2) My health care bill does not constitute a government takeover of healthcare.
3) My health care bill will not provide coverage for elective abortions.
4) My health care bill will not mandate rationing for the elderly and others.
While he thinks the myths are coming from the mouths of his opponents, in actuality they are coming from his own mouth. Jeff at Jeff’s Garage does a good job of countering the counters. While in each instance you won’t find verbatim language to the effect of “the government will ration care” or something like that, the concerns of conservatives can indeed be inferred. That is, rationing, coverage for elective abortions, government takeover of healthcare, and coverage for illegal immigrants follows if you connect the dots and follow the logic.
Read the whole post. It’s enlightening.
