Tom Toles for November 05, 2013

It is cruel and unusual punishment to even attempt to confuse our ultra conservative, president Obama hating at all costs posters here with facts. On the other hand, it is kind of fun isn’t it?

“All that matters to you is who wrote it.”

Uh … that is the side who wrote it. You don’t believe Obama wrote it just because the GOP calls it ‘ObamaCare’, did you?

How many lies can you cram into a single panel cartoon?

Every year, they send us new insurance cards. This is because they’ve changed the plan to maximize shareholder benefits — that is, to give us less actual insurance and to charge us more for it.

Insurance companies have done this right along. They cancel any plan that seems to pay off and offer in return a plan that’s more profitable for them.

Only now, it’s a scandal. Now we’re blaming the government for this and other conservative cheapskate ripoffs.

Just a footnote here…we also hate Nancy Pelosi, the Wacko Witch from the West…Can I quote you, the next time someone tells me I’m sexist for making fun of Michelle “Be like China” Bachmann?

Who th’ hell did write it, anyway?The original idea was Stuart Butler of the Heritage Foundation. His plan included the mandate, subsidies & the preservation of private insurance companies as the central player in healthcare.

Ironically all that hate and casting of dispersions makes Pres. Obama seem more liberal than he actually is.Fox News promised us Lenin, instead we got Bob Dole.

Gresch: If there is a lie in his speech… then you must impeach…: If you really believe this, you must have been at the front of the line to impeach bush when he lied us into two unnecessary wars. Oh wait, that didn’t happen, did it?

“Chuckles, your side hated the ACA without ever really caring what was in it. All that matters to you is who wrote it.”.While you LOVED it for the same reason. You don’t care what’s in it, who it hurts or how it harms our already anemic economy, you only care that it’s Kool Aid approved by your intellectual superiors.

“What many people don’t yet realize is that so many of the insurance they have is expensive junk. They don’t measure up to what is offered.”.Paid for my insurance every month and when I got sick I saw the doctor, paid my copays and things went well. My insurance is now cancelled.

Its like what they did in Chile

The NextGen air traffic system, started in 2003, is still not ready and working 10 years later. Funny, I don’t hear Congressional Republicans grilling the transportation head about this debacle, which has been going on since before Obamacare was even on the radar.Oh, that’s right, it was a Bush plan!

Uh huh. Sure. If you actually bothered to try to read it you would find that it is a generously spaced typeset that uses many pages to get the job done and in normal typing would take less that 1000 pages easily. Your comment pretty much proves that you haven’t even bothered to check it out.

That is the best you can do? Surely you can try to read some facts and realize that there are a potential 30 to 40 million people who stand to finally get health care insurance through the ACA and that considerably outweighs the number of people who are receiving their almost annual policy cancellation requiring them to buy a new version (virtually always more costly) of the same crappy policy they had before.

The difference this time is that the insurance companies are stuck with actually offering real policies with some good coverage for a change. Kinda sticks in your craw, huh?

You are far beyond help. Grow up, learn to search for factual reporting, learn to remember history—geez, just learn how to study for a change.

Testing, Testing, Testing. Does Tigger have an active brain cell or is the cable connection from Fox News and Rush just fine?

Yes, single payer would have been great but the climb was too steep.

Medicare from birth to death is a great idea.
