Friends, I know, it's Thanksgiving, and the last thing you want to hear from your tongue-pierced Anthropology major nephew is how unbelievably fantabulous ObamaCare is. Grandma's stuffing is out of this world, to be cherished -- no, worshipped; yet the White House, via Organizing For Action, is encouraging the Zombie Faithful to shanghai dinner.
So we must respond. How? Well, first, you might seize Billy's plate, and every time he mounts the Obama Flag, take something off it -- redistribute! -- so that by the time he's done, the plate is empty, vacuous -- like his head.
Play on instinct -- whatever seems right. But, of course, you may engage him intellectually.... *cough* .... and if you choose this path you are not only brave, you're in the right place! Keep reading. Below lies the distribution of knowledge and, with hope of redistribution, the refutation of Billy:
OFA Talking Point #1: Healthcare.gov has had difficulties but the state exchanges are working well.
Rebuttal: HA-HA-HA.... Like Oregon? They spent $45 million, give or take a million - who's counting? -- and signed up the same number of people clamoring to see Michelle on the cover of Sports Illustrated in a thong. The states are signing up Medicaid enrollees, at a 4:1 ratio, a fiscal time-bomb that will ravage their budgets and lead to LESS care for those supposedly "covered."
OFA Talking Point #2: The website's problem is demand and once the front-end problems are fixed, it will work.
Rebuttal: HA-HA-HA.... Healthcare.gov project manager, Henry Chao, told Congress last week that 40% of the website isn't even built -- there's NO payment system set up. Are you majoring in Comedy?
OFA Talking Point #3: Only a few young and healthy people will pay more -- for most people, they will keep their plans, or have something better.
Rebuttal: HA-HA-HA.... Costs are going through the roof in 41 states, and the other nine are treading water. Five-million people have already lost their plans, with tens of millions - and next year as many as 100 million -- to lose their plan and their doctor, when both group and individual markets are forced into compliance with ObamaCare mandates.
OFA Talking Point #4: The pre-ObamaCare health insurance market was a "free market" full of junk plans, which screwed people over and dropped their insurance when they got sick.
Rebuttal: HA-HA-HA.... Who feeds you this garbage? Prior to ObamaCare, 87% of Americans reported a high level of satisfaction with their insurance, and, indeed, 85% had insurance. These plans were not, by law, able to drop coverage for "sick" people -- and by the way, did you know that Medicare denies more coverage -- by a greater than 2:1 ratio -- than private insurers?
