President Obama has made another attempt at Deception, Distortion, and Distraction, or the Three Ds, by unveiling his RealityChecks site within a site on whitehouse.gov.  I couldn’t help but realize as I went through this site of the Three Ds just how out of touch the President and Company really are.

Here we have a site that further insults the intelligence of the American people by telling them that we don’t know what we are talking about.  If you have read the bill like I have, then you’ll quickly realize it’s not about Health Care Reform.  So the new tactic the Administration and their cronies use is to talk about Health Insurance Reform. Well, it’s not about that either.  This Administration is doing one thing and one thing only – taking Americans’ freedoms and liberties away from them once and for all.

Let’s go straight to the President’s FAQ on his Three Ds RealityCheck site and you’ll see that’s exactly what they are doing:

“Health Insurance Reform will end current forms of rationing, not expand it.” – Let’s pay particular attention to “end current forms of rationing”. The government will end current forms of rationing…. and replace it with their own rationing.  They will accomplish this through mandating the types of health care plans delivered in the Government Health Insurance Exchange and the Government Public Option Plan. You can see for yourself right in the House HC Bill starting on page 84 Section 203.

Obama also talks about insurance companies denying coverage. You can find how Obama plans to deny coverage by reading many places in the bill about how the Government will deny coverage. One place in the Health Care bill starts on page 801 Section 1751.   Starting to get the picture of how Obama and Company use the Three Ds of Deception, Distortion and Distraction?

“Burdening Government” This is quite amusing. The President and Company seem to believe that the Government is burdened. Prez – don’t tell anyone but it is the government that always burdens the people. The President goes on to cite a report from the Council of Economic Advisors that shows what happens if we don’t do anything. First, Mr. President, no one has suggested we do nothing. This is just a distraction and a straw man of yours that is frankly, worn out and overused.  Do you also expect us to believe something from the Council of Economic Advisors? The very ones who misread our economy? Really?

Let’s go to Mr. Elmendorf, Director of CBO, for some actual reality:

“Cost” – The President again uses his straw man of “if we do nothing”. As you can see from the Director of CBO the Government will expand spending and will not reduce spending to a corresponding degree.  Additionally the Government tries the old misdirection of only using a 10 year projection.

Let’s take a look beyond 10 years shall we?  If this HC Monstrosity Bill is passed then we can be assured it will be around a lot longer than 10 years.  It turns out that the Joint Economic Committee found that the President’s Health Care Obamanation will be insufficient in funds to the tune of $9.2 Trillion. You can read all about that here – House Health Care Bill yields $9.2 trillion in New Debt.

As for the Government being accurate in any of their projections you merely look at how many times they’ve failed miserably and came way under what it actually did cost.  Don’t take my word though, see for yourself – Health Care Reform Cost Estimates: What is the Track Record?

When CBO director Doug Elmendorf has said the House health plan will increase the budget deficit by $239 billion over ten years, and “generate substantial increases in federal budget deficits during the decade beyond the current 10-year budget window.” , it’s no wonder that 72% of Americans believe that Obama’s Health Care plan will add to the deficit of this country exponentially.

“Uninsured vs. Costs” - Let’s look at the deceptive words that the President wants you to believe:

“American families with insurance pay a hidden tax of roughly $1000 for the cost of caring for people without insurance. As more Americans become insured, that hidden tax will begin to disappear. In addition, covering everyone will put downward pressure on costs. Bringing younger, healthier people into the system will spread the risk.

So Prez, the American people are not going to be paying a hidden tax anymore, you just bring the hidden tax out into the open. Additionally as your government HC plan insures more Americans, the open tax is now going to become much larger.  Again, we can see how much downward pressure will be brought on costs from the above section on costs.  You’re also telling the younger generation, who is typically healthier, that by making them pay for health insurance they might not want, it will spread the risk which is code for cost. So younger Americans, thanks for paying the high oppressive debt of the Obama Administration for the rest of us.

Mr. President – a little education on the uninsured:

“Medicare for Seniors” – Mr. President, the Medicare Trust Fund is currently $38 TRILLION in the hole.  The only thing your health care bill does for Medicare is kick the can down the road so that someone else can deal with it.  Your only goal for Medicare is to use it for political purposes – Medicare Payment Rules: Looking Behind the Curtain.

Additionally, when Government starts to cut the Medicare Advantage Program that a lot of Seniors enjoy, they will have to go and seek additional supplemental insurance thus increasing their out of pocket expenses.  Perhaps that’s why AARP is behind the President’s Health Care Monstrosity.  They stand to gain on the backs of Senior Citizens.  Nice huh?

“End of Life Counseling” – Mr. President, I guess you think Americans are too stupid to do this on their own.  Why, after all these years that Americans have been able to do these very things without your assistance, you decide that you just know better. Shhh- Mr. President, the Government can NEVER do better that which an individual can do for himself. You’re not empowering anyone. Your guiding them to how you see fit according to your selfish needs.

The President again deceives by saying it is not mandatory. It seems, Mr. President that you have not read the bill.  You merely have to read pages 425-429 of the House Health Care bill to see that the Government mandates the counseling every 5 years or even more frequently should the patient have a significant change in their health condition.  The Government dictates what is an order in end of life counseling, what treatments are made available, how the treatments are limited, who gets to decide what those treatments are (it’s not just the patient and doctor), and the Government standardizes all orders, treatments and guidance how they want it and when they want it.

Mr. President, perhaps we should just ask Dr. Zeke Emmanuel, your Health Care Policy Advisor,  what he thinks of Seniors – Complete Lives System.  OOPs!! As we can see from the good doctor, he really thinks that Seniors are a waste of time.  He thinks that Seniors count less than other citizens. Nice person to have around Mr. President.   Isn’t it great that AARP endorses End of Life Counseling too!

“The Health Insurance Exchange” – The President and his buddies would like you to believe that they are creating an Exchange that has never been there and to “Come on in! It’s so warm and fuzzy here!”  Well, it’s simple folks, the Health Insurance Exchange is a Government run exchange that corrals all the private insurance plans into the ranch of Government control. It’s a take over of market based solutions by Obama.  You can read all about it starting on page 72 of the House Health Care Bill.

“The Public Option” – Folks, plain and simple, the public option is President Obama’s and his cronies’ way of getting to the Single Payer Government Takeover of your health and lives.  Don’t take my word though – The President and his cronies will tell you straight up -

So, Mr. President, you and your cronies have repeatedly tried the Three Ds, Deception, Distortion, and Distraction.  They are not working.  They haven’t been working.  They will fail repeatedly if you continue to use them.

Your Reality Check site is a teachable moment:

Mr. President, you and your buddies, live in an alternate reality far far away from the actual reality that Americans are living daily.
