Obamacare - Three Card Monty

This isn't the main subject, but I didn't want to forget it so here goes. As we all should know, the White House took the Census Department and gave it to Rahm Emanuel to run.

Then they hired ACORN and it's subsidiaries to do the footwork. As we should know, the main point of the Census is to draw up congressional lines, and decide how many rep's a state has, and how much Federal Funding they will receive..

Then they quietly announced that this year they will be counting illegal aliens. And today I find this:

The U.S. Census Bureau has told Utah's elected leaders it won't count Mormon missionaries serving overseas in the nation's next head count.

Utah says the omission cost the state an extra congressional seat in 2000, when Utah fell just 857 people short of receiving the last available slot in the U.S. House.

Yes, our government will award congressional seats for the amount of illegals you have, but will not count Americans who happen to be working abroad. That should make you want to stick a pencil in your eye. Isn't Utah mostly Conservative? I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

But lets move on to the main topic.

Lets talk Obamacare. Today's big headline:

President Barack Obama's administration signaled on Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run health insurance as part of his ambitious healthcare proposal.

Really? The article right next to it says this:

I think there will be a competitor to private insurers," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Sunday. "That's really the essential part."

As we all should know, the government option is the reason they invented the health care crisis in the first place. And right up to a few months ago, they were glad to tell you that their plan is designed to eliminate private insurance. This has been a plan in the works for over 40 years, and they see this as their best opportunity.

Then, you have Arlen Specter, who faced a lot of angry constituents this past week. He now says this:

Sen. Arlen Specter says critics of the Democrats' healthcare proposals are not representative of the public's view on the issue.

The Pennsylvania Democrat says people who are angry at town hall meetings don't reflect the broader public opinion of the proposed overhaul. Specter has faced tough town hall audiences in his home state.

There is overwhelming evidence that many of the pro O care folks at the meetings were Democratic plants. One even pretending to be a doctor, to seem more credible.

It looks pretty obvious to me that the single payer plan is alive and well. The democrats are blowing off the American people, and all the polls that show we do not want this. Not to mention the congressional Email that has been overloaded all week from angry Americans.

But hey, they know best.

As Kathleen Sebelius says, it is the essential part of their plan. Unless you listen to her interview, where she said it isn't essential. Which is it? Two different same day interviews, two very different opinions.


I would venture to guess that Team O will put a little distance between himself and the plan, and when it gets passed in congress, it will have the single payer plan buried in there in a last minute amendment that will not be read, on the day of the vote.

They may call it a co-op, I call it Three Card Monty.
