Obama on Healthcare Law: “There’s Nothing Socialist About It”…

So says Karl Marx Jr.

“What I hear you saying is that the notion that us saying to people that don’t have health insurance, don’t make me pay for your health insurance, if you get sick, you have a responsibility to make sure you have coverage. There’s nothing socialist about that. That’s saying to Americans, we’re going each of us be responsible for our own health care”

    “we’re going each of us be responsible for our own health care” Exactly. How about you pay for yours Odumbo and I will pay for mine.

    Worst president ever. Probably the dumbest in a century.

    This guy is not a President. He is a Novice.

    Left wing hack and myrmidon of the communist party.

    Bows to foreign leaders, that should be looking up to him. He will not succeeded in his venture to dismantle this country and I hope that he does many more of these interviews.

    The more he opens his mouth and projects his views, the more people will see the fog clear. It will be a part of historical fact, that he was the absolute worst and most financially destructive person ever to pretend that he was a President.

    Yea that whole forcing everyone to have coverage that some cannot afford or paying some fine and if I don’t pay that I have to go to jail. I don’t want car insurance therefore I don’t drive but I cannot stop living because I don’t want to bother with Health Insurance!!!

    Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth. Another politician telling us black is white.

    A kid asked this old conservative what rights we have lost in a sarcastic manner so I started listing them. Whether or not I can wear a seatbelt, where I could smoke, where I could use a cell phone, buy a beer at 18, ride a bike without a helmet, ride a bike with my dog running along side me. I could buy cigarettes for my parents as a kid, I could buy a jug of beer for my Dad as a kid. Use words that were politically incorrect. BTW I don’t smoke, drink just a little. I hate these liberal SOB’s that want to run our life.

    Obama needs to have someone update the Wikipedia Page.

    It would seem to describe exactly what Obama claims “is not socialism”.

    —————-

    Socialized medicine
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialized_medicine

    Socialized medicine is a term used to describe a system for providing medical and hospital care for all at a nominal cost by means of government regulation of health services and subsidies derived from taxation.[1] It is used primarily and usually pejoratively in United States political debates concerning health care[2][3][4][5][6] The term was first widely used in the United States by advocates of the American Medical Association in opposition to President Harry S. Truman’s 1947 health-care initiative.[7][8][9]
    .

    Obama be lying again.

    You have money?

    You’re going to pay for an irresponsible lazy-ass-on-crack whore to get free healthcare.

    That’s Marxism in nutshell.

    Dictionary.com is confused as well:

    —————

    Socialized medicine
    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Socialized+medicine
     
    –noun
    any of various systems to provide the entire population with complete Medical care through government subsidization and regularization of medical and health services.

    Why does taking care of my own health have to involve buying a health insurance policy from some company? Can’t I pay cash for going to a doctor; if I need to, if I want to?

    Encyclopedia.com (the list goes on)

    ————-

    Medicine, Socialized
    http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/socialized_medicine.aspx

    he American Heritage Dictionary (4th ed., 2001) defines socialized medicine as “a system for providing medical and hospital care for all at a nominal cost by means of government regulation.” This leaves room for considerable craftsmanship in the construction of socialist systems. Indeed existing socialized medical systems in, for example, Great Britain, Cuba, Finland, and Switzerland conform to this definition, but are far from monolithic.

    Because every aspect of a socialized health care industry is controlled and provided by the government—most doctors, nurses, medics, and administrators are government employees—the system, such as the National Health Service (NHS) in Britain, determines where, when, and how services are provided. Of course citizens may seek care outside the system, in the private sector.

    The Specter of Socialized Medicine. What Is It and Is It Invading Our Country?
    http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/05/socialized_medicine.html

    Politicians have recently used the term “socialized medicine” to describe everything from the public-private plans that insure all Americans to the reauthorization of the Children’s Health Insurance Program. It’s a concept that has been embraced, demonized, and misunderstood since the early 20th century in the United States. We’ve stood by and watched the entire industrialized world turn to varying forms of government-supported health care systems for all their citizens. But, in part because of fears about socialized medicine, similar policy changes have been blocked here. What exactly is socialized medicine, and why is it slander in the current health reform debate?

    “I’m not a Socialist………….not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

    —————

    The very next question Obama should be asked when he claims not to be a Socialist is; “Why, what’s wrong with Socialism?”

    And then: “What is the difference between your position and the position of Socialists?” Examples?

    Every word of Barry is a lie. How does that feel Mr. Soetero? Senator Jim DeMint , when interviewed minutes after the State of the Union Speech reluctantly replied ” I just can not believe him anymore”

    Yup, that is who he is and he is a lie. Deep down he knows it and it will catch him soon enough. Understand this, we know you are a Communist–not a Socialist. You are a disgrace to America and all that we stand for.

    Mr. Manning was right about you. He is a Pastor from Harlem ( you tube him)and by the way he is a proud African American, as is Mr West and Mr Herman Cain. You are a disgraceful and disgsusting usurper.

    “Can’t I pay cash for going to a doctor; if I need to, if I want to?”

    ————–

    Absolutely not! A headache must be diagnosed by a doctor, and aspirin must be administered by a registered (and unionized) nurse.

    Even removing a rock from your shoe is seen as ‘an act of self-interest’, and is punishable by no less that five years in prison. All health related matter must be administered by the state.

    Not everyone is qualified to put on a Band-Aid!

    The whole concept of everyone buying health care insurance is flawed. Do all illegal aliens buy if they aren’t even here legally? Does the homeless person buy insurance when he hasn’t even have a pot to piss in? the answer to all those questions is a resounding NO! You and I, the middle class will pay for them plain and simple!

    I have a thirteen year old girl, and honest to god every day I wake up I am thankful that I have an incredible insurance policy that pays for my medical insurance. I found insurance from Wise Health Insurance website and it doesn’t pay 100% on everything, but when I receive the bill and find out just how much I would have had to pay had I not been insured I realize that there is no way in the world that I could have afforded kind of care without it.

He burns needless fuel in Air force One going on lavish vacations, throws huge party’s every week-end spending our tax money like a drunk sailor. YES WE KNOW YOU.

    It’s a known fact that Ocare is going to raise costs, so premiums will also go up. So the people who can’t afford it now are going to do what exactly?

    That’s right, they’ll take the ‘fine’, which they won’t pay. Who will pay for them then?
    There’s no way around it, it’s socialism.

    How convenient that Muslims are exempt from Obamacare’s mandate to buy health insurance. They call is ” Haraam” ( gambling). Oh I see, you breed, we pay. Again, very, very devious and carefully planned.

    NJ Jersey Shore Tea Party has a lawsuit pending. It is count 10 that addresses this very topic. It is one of 15 counts . Count 10 violates the 14th Amendment. It is an interesting lawsuit.

    Here is one paragraph:

    84.The Act enacted by Congress elevates the general government above established Constitutional law that guaranties every citizen be afforded “equal treatment” by the granting of special exemptions and treatment to selected classes of citizens based upon religious affiliations and/or State of residence is therefore discriminatory. At the same time the Act criminalizes other citizens based upon their religious beliefs for refusing to comply with a forced mandate to purchase healthcare insurance.

    barry, is a rat bastard mooslum marxist and wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in his lazy ass! I can not listen to his non stop lies, so the mute button or channel changer buttons are over worked in our house. Come On Man! he has to invade the network on super bowl sunday!! barry’s ego and soro’s policies are desroying America at record pace!

    He and his posse have been working behind the scenes to make so many substances that could previously be purchased at a health foods store, put under control of the FDA or eliminated altogether! They are trying to stop us from taking care of ourselfs and rely on government for care! This action was no doubt part of the “behind closed doors” deals worked out with the pharma co’s. Right along with the same deal that they contribute billions to advertize barrycare or the affordable rip working Americans off plan.

    Ever notice that clinics are full of people with snifles, or just not feeling right, or fairly minor stuff! 80% of them could take care of themselves if they knew how or wanted too. My best friend who used to sell drugs (Merck, laid off 2 plus years), verifed my therory. If the government pays for transportation, cell phones, meds, doctor visit, why work? In our house, broken bones or bones sticking through the skin are about the only things that we use doc’s for. So many “getovers” are destroying our system, with this cloward/piven stratgey!

    It is socialism because you are being forced to buy health insurance. The free market is based on the concept that you are free to make choices, including not buying health insurance, but most importantly, taking the responsibility for the choices you make. This is something Obama does not understand, in fact, he will reward or subsidize people or companies that make the wrong decision. Look at the recent bailouts as an example. This is why our society is going down the toilet, we reward stupidity and penalize having brains and talent.

    meantime, we don’t need you to regulate our behavior. We already have too many things to worry about, as it is. I don’t even know if we are allowed to say the word HATE, anymore! I am waiting for the manual,,,,you know,,,,the free speech manual, that tells us what is free speech, and what is going to be regulated. I think a page of that manual also references what foods we are now allowed to eat, and what our portions will be. So, as you can see, we will be too busy studying, to worry about living our lives!

    Fascism
    Doctrine; collection of concepts; and dictatorship by government of a country, often involving private economic ownership under rigid government control.
    Companies are privately owned but wages and prices for goods are set by the state.
    What type of education and jobs you get are generally determined by the state as well.
    And of course it is a form of socialism

  47. Jim says:
