| Sebelius: Time for 'Reeducation' on Obama Health Care Law |
| 2010-08-31 |
| With a number of polls showing a sustained level of opposition to the Democrats' health care reform efforts more than five months after passage, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the Obama administration has "a lot of reeducation to do" heading into the midterms. "Unfortunately, there still is a great deal of confusion about what is in [the reform law] and what isn't," Sebelius told ABC News Radio in an interview Monday. Especially among the morons who signed it unread. "So, we have a lot of reeducation to do," Sebelius said. Yup! Setup those re-education camps. I know where we can get some cheap tents! Pol-Pot only used them for a few years. They don't even leak [much]. As of Monday, one million seniors have received $250 rebate checks to help them fill the "donut hole" in Medicare's prescription drug coverage. Sebelius says by the end of the year, as many as four million Part D participants may get checks. Most of them just before the election in November no doubt. "Once people understand that [the rebate checks are] just one of the new features for Medicare beneficiaries, they become increasingly more enthusiastic," Sebelius told ABC News. Sebelius says she understands the concerns of American seniors. "They're worried about what happens to their benefits in the future, worried about what happens to the overall stability of Medicare." Just wait until the Death Panels are setup. Then we will be seeing some major 'reeducation'! "It does not ease cost pressures but papers over them with unsustainable price controls," [former HHS secretary Mike] Leavitt wrote. Sebelius argues the reforms "strengthen" Medicare, extending its solvency by 12 years through 2029. You see by rationing care we eventually decrease the demand.... "My view is actually supported by independent actuaries, by economists and by the Congressional Budget Office," Sebelius said. Who all bludgeoned the data until it fit the model. |

| #9 Reeducation is an interesting word choice. Most right thinking people would say education. Reeducation implies that the message is fine, it is the recipient who is misguided. If only we can educate the RINO's .... |

| #8 Abu - don't we have that now. Go to any of the alphabet-soup networks (ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN,etc... with the possible exclusion of FOX) and you get exactly that. Anguper - Pol-Pot didn't use body bags - just threw the bodies in a field with all the others. When I was in school I was taught about how Evil Joe McCarthy was and about how persecuted the hollywood 'stars' were. Turns out Joe was right after all. Nowdays you just about get 'blacklisted' if you are pro-american (unless you are already a star like Bruce Willis). |

| #7 JohnQC, The reason they sound like communists is that they are the political and intellectual heirs of the International Communist Movement that spawned their parents in this country during the Cold War. That is all those communists that "didn't exist" and were persecuted by that evil Joe McCarthy. They are alive and well using the U.S. as a new host for their disease. |

| #6 They going to send the American people to re-education camps? No. It's just that every time you turn on TV or radio or open a newspaper or magazine somebody like Sebelius will be expounding on the virtues of socialized health care. The MSM, of course, will be happy to play along. But it could get so intense that you start thinking the whole country is a reeducation camp. |

| #5 Don't worry. We'll have reeducation summer camps for the ruling elite on the text of the Constitution when this is all over. |

| #4 Umm, those weren't tents Pol-Pot used, those were bodybags. |

| #3 It's a bad law before re-education and it'll be a bad law after re-education. Why do these people always sound like communists when they speak? They going to send the American people to re-education camps? |

| #2 My Mom is retired and lives in San Diego - a $250 rebate check won't pay the electric bill for using the air con in August. Donut hole my A@#, its a gaping abyss. |

| #1 "So, we have a lot of reeducation to do," Sebelius said. The elderly should exempted from the reeducation schemes. They no longer pay taxes and have been programmed to be denied life sustaining medical services anyway. Really no need to waste valuable resources on terminal voters. |
