Do you agree with the Democratic strategy to pass a healthcare bill THEN try to sell it to the public?
Question by c(^-v-*)o: Do you agree with the Democratic strategy to pass a healthcare bill THEN try to sell it to the public?
Wouldn’t people be WAY LESS skeptical of this bill if our alleged representatives could explain all the benefits BEFORE they vote on it?? (Or are these “benefits” simply too few and far between??)

ext on his checklist: “finish this health care bill successfully.” And after that? “Then we have to go out and sell it,” he said. “I think we can run on this. I think there is so much in here that has value to every American, and mostly to people who have insurance.”
In the conversation, Axelrod mentioned several other legislative initiatives that the White House hopes Congress will complete this year, including an energy bill. But asked what else Congress could pass before November that might significantly improve Democratic prospects, he cited only one other area: reform of financial regulation. “I wouldn’t put this on that order of magnitude [as health care] at all, but I think if we pass a financial reform that includes strong consumer provisions, reins in some of the worst excesses of the industry, I think that would be useful, would be helpful,” he said.
More important than new initiatives, he suggested, would be reframing the debate on what has already happened in Washington since Obama took office. On the one hand, he argued, the campaign will provide Democrats an opportunity to tout legislative successes, like bills strengthening federal regulation of tobacco and credit card companies, that have been almost completely eclipsed by the high-profile confrontations over the economy and health care.
On the other, he hinted, would be sharper efforts to compare the Democratic agenda with Republican priorities. While Republicans are hoping that voters will view the election as a referendum on Democratic performance, he said Democrats will work to frame the election more as a choice between the parties — and present an aggressive case against the GOP alternative.

Health Care Reform Bill Passes House Of Representatives | 11-7-09
President Obama released a statement at 11:43 PM ET:
Tonight, in an historic vote, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would finally make real the promise of quality, affordable health care for the American people.
The Affordable Health Care for America Act is a piece of legislation that will provide stability and security for Americans who have insurance; quality affordable options for those who don’t; and bring down the cost of health care for families, businesses, and the government while strengthening the financial health of Medicare. And it is legislation that is fully paid for and will reduce our long-term federal deficit.
Thanks to the hard work of the House, we are just two steps away from achieving health insurance reform in America. Now the United States Senate must follow suit and pass its version of the legislation. I am absolutely confident it will, and I look forward to signing comprehensive health insurance reform into law by the end of the year.
Rep. Joseph Cao, the lone Republican member of Congress to back the bill, also put out a long statement explaining his vote (and emphasizing the fact that he also voted in favor of the anti-choice provision, presumably to try to stave off the heavy incoming attacks from conservative activists).

House Speaker Pelosi admits JAIL is “fair” for not buying health insurance – 11-9-09
During a press conference at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Nancy Pelosi danced around a difficult question, twice. The questions pertained to 5-year jail terms and $250,000 fines for those refusing to buy health insurance under her plan. However, she did say her plan was “fair”.
Choice??? According to HR 3962, buy insurance or go to jail. Such “choice” is standard under dictatorships, is this tyranny the “change” that voters hoped for? Of course not.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, was in Seattle on Monday, November 9, 2009 where she joined Democratic Reps. Jay Inslee, Jim McDermott and Norman Dicks in a tour of Swedish Medical Center. Pelosi’s visit came less than 48 hours after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the massive and short-sighted “Affordable Health Care for America Act” bill by a very narrow margin, 220-215. Pelosi needed at least 218 votes for passage.
The closed door meetings and their partisan Democrat scheme worked despite the obvious will of the People as a Rasmussen poll found that 57% Americans opposed while only 41% approved government run health care. By all accounts, this bill should have died. However, the Stupak amendment revived it at the promise of removing funding for abortions, which we all know can be reversed later on. The Stupak amendment to HR 3962 was proposed and approved in the House of Representatives on November 7, 2009. Here are more details about the amendment:
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/66969-se…
Pelosi was recently asked another question that she could not answer. She was asked where in the Constitution does it give government the right to run health care. Her snarky answer was simply; are you serious, are you serious? Yes, we patriots are serious; just ask us what we think of more government intrusion in our lives, this being an egregious one that will snatch 1/6th of the US economy from the private sector and in total making government in charge of about half of the entire economy. The more this reckless government strays away from the guidelines set by our Founding Fathers, the less freedom we are left with.
Liberty will die and so will patients under this sort of health care reform. Like in Canada and much of socialist Europe, patients needlessly die waiting weeks or months for life saving surgeries. And in our case, Washington bureaucrats will make decisions for you and your doctor based on cost effective procedures. That is where rationing and cost savings will offset the massive fraud, waste and abuse that government is infamous for. It is a good thing that Congress, with their 240 millionaires, will be spared the rationed care they impose of the American public.
This legislation must be stopped at all expense, as the Senate will soon vote on it. Our Liberty and quality of health care depends on our success in stopping this reckless government and their radical and destructive agenda. Their narrow-minded approach to destroying the best health care on Earth only to reform it is based on deceptive tactics and exploitation of the American people. It must be done NOW, however not implemented until 2013. Therefore, the negative fallout will not play a role in possibly reelecting our leftist president.
The same day, President Obama also danced around a similar question posed by White House press staff Jake Tapper. Mr. Tapper also had to ask the question twice and met with a condescending, “I’m not sure that’s the biggest question they’re asking right now”. Here is a link to that:
Please call, email, or visit your Senator and urge them to vote NO, before its too late! Once implemented this government plan, like all other entitlement programs, is permanent and will cost at least 3x the projections, totaling over $3 Trillion…of deficit spending!
Furthermore, they talk about “subsidies” and they really mean redistribution of wealth, Karl Marx style. Providing health care is unconstitutional, therefore its not the role of government in a free and civil society.
Contrary to pro health care talking points; not everyone drives a car and buying auto insurance IS still an option, health insurance should be too; its called individual freedom and (real) choice. According to our Constitution, which protects Liberty, government shall be limited, not expanded and intrusive into every facet of our lives. This health care “debate” is not really about health nor care, it’s about CONTROL.

Also, this press conference was not announced publicly. And the protest against Pelosi-care was organized with only 3-hours advance notice. The speaker obviously didn’t want to draw hundreds or thousands to protest her visit.
