Boehner says Obama selling 'snake-oil'
2010-03-09
Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) was not persuaded by President Obama's just-completed healthcare speech in Pennsylvania.

"President Obama's latest health care sales pitch is, just like all the others were, heavy on snake oil and light on the harsh reality Americans would face under his plan: higher taxes, reduced Medicare benefits, and lost jobs," Boehner said in a statement.

"It's now up to the President's fellow Democrats to choose between siding with their constituents and joining his crusade for a government takeover of health care."

Boehner repeated the GOP call to scrap the current reform legislation and start from scratch.

#5  Oh, ok.

As long as Obama and the US Government have my back I guess all will be well.

#4  Obama is selling less than snake oil. Health care will be a big government takeover and destruction of a very good health care system that is the envy of the world. "Cap and steal" is the selling of will-o-the-wisp, airy-fairy stuff.

#3  No, Kelly. Under Socialism you are merely stewards of property and wealth that belongs to the state. The state will act in your behalf, of what they know is 'right', and make sure your children are covered. The state will just send you a bill for the cost plus administrative overhead and processing costs. /[but just barely] sarc off

#2  I heard the President say yesterday that "children" could stay on my medical insurance until they are 26.

The question I have is if my wife and I do not keep our children on our insurance, say as a means of controlling cost to ourselves, will we go to jail? Will our children be able to sue us?

#1  Thank you John, for stating the obvious.

I know people out there who want Obamacare, so keep pounding this stuff out until they understand the serious consequences of enacting "Obamacare".
