The Deception of the "Government Option"

Most people know that what Obama says in speeches and what he believes are not always the same. Here is a video that shows the truth about what he plans to do with health care and the Government Option that he is trying to sell. People need to pay attention to this and realize what is coming. This option is being sold as a plan that would "compete" with private insurance and give people a choice. The reality is that this is just a first step towards a "single-payer, universal health care system". Watch the video and listen to Obama's own words:

I don't think we're going to eliminate employer coverage immediately, there's going to be potentially some transition process. I can envision a decade out, or 15 years out or 20 years out where we've got a much more portable system.

Let's hold Obama to his famous quote and tell him that words do matter and his words have told us exactly what he plans to do. They've spelled out his plan. All we need to do is listen.

This video shows the real goal of Obama and the Democrats' health care revolution. If they really want to reform health care, they'd consider actual reforms that would work. If they wanted to make health care more affordable, they'd reduce the mandates that are required of insurance companies, eliminate the barriers of state lines in purchasing health insurance and implement tort reforms. If they wanted to make health care more portable, they'd change the tax code so that employers can pay employees more so that employees could purchase their own insurance (see what you're worth to a company) allowing them to take their insurance with them when they change jobs. If they wanted to give people choice, they'd expand health savings accounts to allow them to make their own health care decisions by giving them the option to purchase catastrophic insurance and pay for other medical expenses with tax-free dollars. Letting employees buy their own insurance also gives them more choices. If they really wanted to help the uninsured working poor, they'd expand Medicaid to cover them. Or, better yet, they'd give the working poor vouchers so that they can purchase their own private health insurance thereby giving them even more choices.
This isn't about choices, competition, more affordable premiums or providing health insurance to the poor. It is about taking over our health care system and implementing a single-payer system that won't work. It's not a reform, it's a revolution.
