Obama attacks cancer survivor

Good day all. Recently, a woman with stage 4 gall bladder cancer recently wrote on Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal on how, thanks to Obama, she has lost her insurance which had been keeping her alive. Of course, the Minions of Our Lord Obama couldn’t allow that to pass and they have started up the Obama Attack Machine.

As we all know now, (Well, I and anyone with 5 functioning brains cells knew years ago), Obama lied through his teeth when he said you could keep your current health insurance if you liked it, along with lying about being able to keep your doctor and hospital. When that editorial came out last weekend, the MOLO’s went berserk. Here are the details from the Wall Street Journal:

It’s been just over a month since ObamaCare’s disastrous launch, and it’s just over three years until the scheduled election of Barack Obama’s successor. It’s going to be a long three years. The exposure of Obama’s signature “achievement” as both incompetent and fraudulent (with its economic inviability yet to be realized) is also showing the administration’s true face. It is an ugly one, and we can expect to see a lot more of it while Obama remains in office.

This morning the White House went on the attack against a cancer patient who is also a victim of ObamaCare. Edie Littlefield Sundby of San Diego explains in today’s Wall Street Journal that she’s been managing a case of stage 4 gallbladder cancer, an affliction whose five-year survival rate is just 2%. Having survived the diagnosis by seven years so far, she beat very long odds–and she did so with the help of an excellent insurance plan that covered care at three hospitals, two in California and one in Texas.

Of course, according to Barack Obama and Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel ((Ezekiel Jonathan “Zeke” Emanuel)), Ms. Sundby is just plain to dumb to know what is good for her and it is up to her betters who are in the government to make all these medical decisions for her. They have decided that her current plan is no good. Of course, Ms. Sundby took Obama at his word.

In touting ObamaCare, Obama asserted at least two dozen times (in slightly varying language) that if you like your health plan, you can keep it. As Sundby explains, she is a victim of Obama’s fraudulent sales pitch:

Since March 2007 United Healthcare has paid $1.2 million to help keep me alive, and it has never once questioned any treatment or procedure recommended by my medical team. The company pays a fair price to the doctors and hospitals, on time, and is responsive to the emergency treatment requirements of late-stage cancer. Its caring people in the claims office have been readily available to talk to me and my providers.

But in January, United Healthcare sent me a letter announcing that they were pulling out of the individual California market. The company suggested I look to Covered California starting in October.

Ms. Sundby was able to get into the California Exchange to see what was offered. The short answer was, Not Much.

Covered California is the state ObamaCare exchange, one of those that, unlike the administration-built federal one, has some degree of technical functionality. Thus Sundby was able to log in and check out her options, which–contrary to Obama’s “new and improved” sales pitch, that people whose policies are canceled will get better insurance–were unsatisfactory. No plan available to her would cover both her primary-care doctor at the University of California, San Diego, and her oncologist at Stanford.

Sundby asks: “What happened to the president’s promise, ‘You can keep your health plan’? Or to the promise that ‘You can keep your doctor’? Thanks to the law, I have been forced to give up a world-class health plan. The exchange would force me to give up a world-class physician.”

Of course, the MILO’s couldn’t let this stand. How DARE this peon question the Lord Obama and his works?

This morning Dan Pfeiffer the fast-talking flack tweeted out a piece from ThinkProgress.org, a leftist propaganda outfit. Titled “The Real Reason That the Cancer Patient Writing in Today’s Wall Street Journal Lost Her Insurance,” the piece, by one Igor Volsky, claims that “Sundby shouldn’t blame reform.” Volsky instead blames United Healthcare, which, he writes, “dropped her coverage because they’ve struggled to compete in California’s individual health care market for years and didn’t want to pay for sicker patients like Sundby”:

“The company’s plans reflect its concern that the first wave of newly insured customers under the law may be the costliest,” UHC Chief Executive Officer Stephen Helmsley told investors last October. “UnitedHealth will watch and see how the exchanges evolve and expects the first enrollees will have ‘a pent-up appetite’ for medical care. We are approaching them with some degree of caution because of that.”

Get that? The company packed its bags and dumped its beneficiaries because it wants its competitors to swallow the first wave of sicker enrollees only to re-enter the market later and profit from the healthy people who still haven’t signed up for coverage.

Sundby is losing her coverage and her doctors because of a business decision her insurer made within the competitive dynamics of California’s health care market

Yeah, they want to be paid for the services rendered. That isn’t going to happen under Obama 404Care.

All this may be true, but it begs the question. The addition of a phrase to that last sentence shows why: Sundby is losing her coverage and her doctors because of a business decision her insurer made within the competitive dynamics of California’s health care market under the regulatory structure established by Obama’s comprehensive “reform.”

And this is why tens of millions of Americans have lost or will lose the insurance they now have and are quite happy with. The whole idea of Obama 404Care is to force people into a government run system with very limited choices. Of course, if Obama had actually told the truth, Obama 404Care would be deader then a dinosaur.

Obama did not qualify his pitch by stating that if you like your health plan, you can keep it unless your insurer makes a business decision to the contrary within the competitive dynamics of your state’s health care market.

To the contrary, he represented ObamaCare as protecting consumers from precisely that sort of cruel business decision, and he has not backed away from that fraudulent promise: At a speech last Wednesday, he asserted that the only policies being canceled were “substandard” ones offered by former “bad-apple insurers” whose practices ObamaCare reformed.

And this is utter and total BOVINE DROPPINGS FROM A COW WITH CHOLERA!! And of course, the MOLO’s print and electronic propaganda machine, the Obama Steno Pool, promptly fell into line with the Big Lie.

Over the weekend a New York Times editorial parroted that line, claiming that “insurers are not allowed to abandon enrollees” and that “people forget how terrible many of the soon-to-be-abandoned policies were.” But even the Times editors can’t quite defend the if-you-like-your-plan-you-can-keep-it fraud. The best they can do is equivocation: “Mr. Obama clearly misspoke when he said that.”

And here is what the WSJ has to say about Obama’s “Misspeaking.”

To misspeak means to express oneself imperfectly or incorrectly. It implies either a careless choice of words or an unintended candor (as in a “Freudian slip”). Obama did not misspeak. As The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend, the slogan was the result of careful deliberation. Whereas “some White House policy advisers objected to the breadth of Mr. Obama’s ‘keep your plan’ promise,” “political aides” insisted upon it. The latter prevailed. In an interview with the Journal, one unidentified former official “added that in the midst of a hard-fought political debate ‘if you like your plan, you can probably keep it’ isn’t a salable point.”

No kidding. The ONLY reason this POS was passed was the blatant lies from Obama and the MOLO’s. This woman has been sentenced to almost certain death by Obama and the Progressive Liberal Democrats and they can’t wait to dance on her grave. They are showing their true colors to those who either weren’t paying attention, or stupidly believed Obama’s lies. As far as Obama and the MOLO’s are concerned, anyone who opposes Obama is to be destroyed. If they can be killed, so much the better. We now live in a tyranny. The land of the Free and the Home of the Brave is no more.
