Obama promised to televise health care debates in C-Span, but he didn't keep his promise. He made this promise in his several speeches. He said he would televise the health care debate so that the American people would be able to understand what is going to happen to their future. Did he break his promise or was this an out right lie? The Obama administration and the democrats are far from transparent and they are not going to show us everything especially when it is not of benefit for them.
Obama approves taxes on health plans even though he promised not to raise taxes. He said he would not waste taxpayer money and would track how all money was spent, yet his stimulus money went to fake districts, dead people, and phantom zip codes. More broken promises or is it all lies? You decide.

Harry Reid's health care bill got 60 votes in the Senate, but many of the votes were "sold" for special deals. The wall Street Journal Reports.
We summarize some of his most notorious political payoffs nearby, including the legendary $300 million "Louisiana Purchase" for Mary Landrieu, and $100 million for Chris Dodd's favorite Connecticut hospital.But special attention should go to Senator Ben Nelson, who played hard-to-get the longest and in return for being the 60th vote won an exemption for Nebraska from paying any of the additional costs for the bill's Medicaid expansion, which is worth $100 million. He also won millions of dollars of exemptions from the $6.7 billion in health insurance fees for Nebraska-based companies like Mutual of Omaha.
What happened to them criticizing special interest group? As a matter of fact, it seems that they don't care about the American people, or the future in this country, at all. One of the reasons why insurance costs are so high is there are many regulations imposed on health insurance by each state. This bill will make everything even more complicated rather than making it simpler and letting people choose what they want and decide what is best for them.

As we wrote in the previous article, ObamaCare at Any Cost, if the health care reform bill
passes, health insurance premiums will go up. Are you willing to pay more for health insurance because some people cannot afford it? And, ironically, if the bill passes, even more people will not be able to afford to take care of themselves? More people would be able to afford health care, If the health care costs are lower. FoxNews reports.
"This bill is a monstrosity," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said. "This is not renaming the post office. Make no mistake -- this bill will reshape our nation and our lives." He and other Republicans lambasted the bill for Medicare cuts that the Congressional Budget Office said totaled more than $470 billion over a decade, and what McConnell called "massive tax increases" at a time when unemployment is at 10 percent.
We know that we need a reform of health care, but this is not the way to solve the problem. This government intervention will make things worse. There are already so many laws and regulations which cause health care and insurance to be more expensive. How can we support a health care reform bill that will make more regulations, more control over our lives, and more cost? Is it worth it to you?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid sank too low when blasting the GOP, comparing those who oppose the health care bill to supporters of slavery. Fox News reports.
The Nevada Democrat, in a sweeping set of accusations on the Senate floor, also compared health care foes to those who opposed women's suffrage and the civil rights movement -- even though it was Sen. Strom Thurmond, then a Democrat, who unsuccessfully tried to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and it was Republicans who led the charge against slavery.
In other words, the leader of Democratic Party, who supported slavery, is accusing the Republicans, who were against slavery, of being like the supporters of slavery because Republicans are against the Health Care Bill that will make the American people slaves of the government. Those who are against the health care bill are agaisnt any form of slavery in the past and in the future.

Will you change your insurance if your new insurance cost more? You may have to pay more if the health care bill is passed. The Wall Street Journal Editorial reports.
Consider how Washington received the Congressional Budget Office's study Monday of how Harry Reid's Senate bill will affect insurance costs, which by any rational measure ought to have been a disaster for the bill. CBO found that premiums in the individual market will rise by 10% to 13% more than if Congress did nothing. Family policies under the status quo are projected to cost $13,100 on average, but under ObamaCare will jump to $15,200.
CBO is confirming that new coverage mandates will drive premiums higher. The bill will increase costs but it will then disguise those costs by transferring them to taxpayers from individuals. Higher costs can be conjured away because they're suddenly on the government balance sheet. The Reid bill's $371.9 billion in new health taxes are also apparently not a new cost because they can be passed along to consumers, or perhaps will be hidden in lost wages.
In a 2008 paper in the peer-reviewed Forum for Health Economics and Policy, these economists found that state community rating laws raise premiums in the individual market by 20.9% to 33.1% for families and 10.2% to 17.1% for singles. In New Jersey, which also requires insurers to accept all comers (so-called guaranteed issue), premiums increased by as much as 227%.
Was the health care reform supposed to help those who can't afford to pay health insurance? Reform is defined as making changes for improvement in order to remove abuse and injustices, but what they are trying to do will make it worse. If this health care bill passes, we will pay more for health insurance and have fewer choice, and possible rationing, for health services. The government is abusing their power and if you don't call that injustice, what is injustice?
