Top HHS Official Likens Obamacare To Civil Rights Act…

Give it a rest.

Via The Foundry:

Jay Angoff, special adviser to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, drew parallels between the two contentious efforts during a panel presentation in Baltimore. He said pushback from state governors over implementation of the law mirrors the acrimony held by many state lawmakers decades earlier when they had to adopt the civil rights package.

“The states fought the civil rights bill,” he said. “When we see some of the opposition to this law, we really ought to go back and remember the opposition to the civil rights law in the ’60s to see what we’ve come through and to see that the fight’s worth it.”

The comments were made Monday at a briefing with health care providers organized by Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.).

“I don’t want to say that the health care law is as important as the civil rights law,” Angoff said. “But there really are some analogies.”

    Only two small problems there Selsum Blue Sebelius:

    1– The democrats actively fought and voted against the civil rights movement to free individuals and

    2–The democrats fought to ram O-Care down americans throats to enslave us!

    Even though the Civil Rights Act cost nothing to implement…

    the racist Democrats were still against it…like Gore Sr. and Byrd…

    Obamacare… on the other hand is going to cost trillions of dollars to implement

    Actually, it IS like the Civil Rights Act…both unconstitutional.

    I really have a problem with a pasty faced white boy former Missouri Insurance commissioner invoking the race card. It just isn’t seemly for a rich MF’er to talk to anybody that way.

    suh-nore……..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Zero and his commie minions are wearing out the race card, big time.
    White guilt is wrung out and when it comes to people that don’t have jobs or are slowly slipping backwards they don’t give a shit about how ‘unfair’ the select few think life is.

    Wake up!!! Life isn’t fair. It isn’t supposed to be fair and trying to make it fair is the most UNfair thing a society can do to itself.

    Divide and conquer. It works.

    I see a pattern here :

    Didn’t Al Gore accuse climate change deniers of being just like those evil anti civil rights racists back in the 1950s and 1960s?

    And now we see more of the same from Jay Angoff .

    Expect more of this bull crap in the next 12 months.

    Hey Kathleen, you strip us of our rights and try to shove healthcare down our throats with a chaser of saving money. Truth is it costs way more and we get less service…and NOW you accuse us as racist civil rights opposers?

    You are a vile, evil, socialist, unqualified, skank.

    You are a member of the elite, and you as a group, the elite has seceded from the country and established a new un-constitution. You make the laws but they do not apply to you.

    Something MUST be done.
