PolitiFact, FactCheck, and WaPo All Confirm: The $105 Billion Obamacare Slush Fund Exists
Posted March 9th, 2011 at 12:30pm in Health Care with 22 comments Print This Post Today former Congressman Ernest Istook testified before the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee about the $105 billion slush fund in advance appropriations liberals tucked inside Obamacare. The $105 billion bypasses the traditional yearly budgeting process and is spread throughout the 2,700 page legislation. It took the Congressional Research Service (CRS) seven months to identify all the disparate funds and it was not until February (11 months after the bill passed) that all of the funds could be totaled up. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has been beating the drum to raise awareness of this unprecedented level of advance spending. But the liberal media has been attacking her for calling it “hidden” funding. In reality, Rep. Bachmann said that “practically no Member of Congress even knew that $105 billion of funding was” in the bill. FactCheck says that this funding was known to “those who read the bill … including members of Congress.” But does FactCheck really believe that any member of Congress read all 2,700 pages of the bill? Do they have any evidence at all that any member of Congress knew about the $105 billion figure before CRS published their report this February? But more importantly, in their attempted take down of Rep. Bachmann, PolitiFact, FactCheck, and The Washington Post Fact Checker all confirm her underlying charge: the $105 billion exists. Poltifact writes: “We added up the spending Bachmann was referring to and got $104 billion — very close to her number.” And a note to The Washington Post Fact Checker: Former Congressman Ernest Istook served in the House of Representatives, not the Senate. PolitiFact, FactCheck, and WaPo All Confirm: The $105 Billion Obamacare Slush Fund Exists | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News. Kill the bill 105 billion this is not chump change |

A ‘Job-Killing’ Law?
House Republicans misrepresent the facts. Experts predict the health care law will have little effect on employment.

For large business, it will be as usual. Oh the United Health Care worker failed to show all the jobs terminated since 2009 by the health care companies, if they hire it will get them back to maybe 2008 levels.
On the small company here is how the rules are to be averted, stay under 50 full time employees, this will mean more individuals will need several jobs to make it and buy there own insurance. With medicade rolls doubling someone has to pay (this is a jobs killer for business more taxes to pay for medicade) for it and the costs are not going to create jobs at all, he is wrong there that people will retire early, as the economy turned south many are working longer and expect that in the future to make it. Oh this bill needs killed it is not a jobs creater for small business, we get a tax break now for health care in small business, nothing new here been around since I have been in business and Slick Willie was president then. Older people have seen higher rates than young and why? Young are invincible and older Americans need more health care, who does it cost more to insure even in the future. This bill needs those 18-30ish in health plans as this is the only way to get rates lower for older Americans, they will pay the tax it is 2/3 less than the average insurance policy. This plan just plain is garbage, I will quit my plan and when I get sick I will call Obama's Health Czar and get my insurance it sure will save me lots of $$ knowing my prex will be covered no matter what |

Obamacare a ‘Platform’ for Socialized Medicine — Rep. Conyers Makes Startling Admissi
Obamacare a ‘Platform’ for Socialized Medicine — Rep. Conyers Makes Startling Admission
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/rep-...ized-medicine/ Posted on March 15, 2011 at 12:16pm by Jonathon M. Seidl Print » Email » In a few moments of candor on Monday, Democratic Rep. John Conyers (MI) admitted Obamacare is just a “platform,” or a step, toward an eventual government takeover of health care: Conyers made the revelation to CNS News reporter Nicholas Ballasy: “What we’re trying to do is insure everybody, right? We’re trying to insure more people, not less and so it’s my feeling that the rising costs that are going on will not be solved by getting rid of people’s health insurance–that throws them into emergency rooms and charity and other things. That’s why HR 676 is our ultimate solution–is that everybody’s insured from birth on and that’s what we’re still fighting for.” CNSNews.com then asked Conyers, “Do you see a single-payer health care system ultimately in the United States?” “Of course,” he said. “Universal health care–well, every industrial country on the planet already has a universal system of health care.” When asked if he thinks President Obama’s health-care law will lead to a single-payer health-care system in the U.S., Conyers said: “Well it’s a platform. I don’t think they flow smoothly but without that, if we didn’t have this then health care, universal health care would be an even more difficult legislative objective,” he said. “Remind me again about the Politifact ‘biggest lie’ of 2010,” Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey writes, referring to the political fact-check site that cried foul over the phrase “A government takeover of health care.” Pretty candid of what Obama and the Libs are after, God Bless America and our eroding freedoms |

The final bill is the one no one read (pass the bill and find out what is in it) and we are finding out now how bad it is for small business and individuals, must also be bad for unions as the SEIU that was for the bill has gotten a waiver, along with over 1,000 companies and 4 states, plus every major health insurance carrier, our senators, representatives and the president, must be a great bill to exclude them

This is important because the 1/4 trillion dollars added to the deficit via Bohner/McConnell via the GOP filibustered waterd-down hold Americans hostage Obma Tax Compromise hasn't come to fruition in terms of catastrophic unemployment .. So I'm really looking for your *GOP philosophy* in disparity acquiescence with what amounts to contiuation of the Bush high-treason traitors .... |

TARP was passed by a lib congress and signed by the pres so they are all in on this not one party, we should of let the banks crash, it would of stopped all the crazy spending going on. The current tax law was extended, it would have affected the lower income more than the rich you whale at. The EIC would be cut in half, but then Bush did not help the little guy. Bush is gone get over it and the new Obamacare is not a good law for mainstream Americans, unless you get a waiver |

Wrong; Nancy and Harry had to settle because the GOP wasn't doing anything.
