Steny Hoyer Accidentally Trashes Obamacare

If the truth exists, no matter how many lies, obfuscations, misrepresentations, contradictions and threats are thrown out there, if it exists, eventually it will reveal itself.

And reveal itself it did, from the unlikely source of House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. The house passed a bill today that would prevent rate increases for Medicare part B, the part that covers doctors visits. It’s a bone being thrown to seniors who under Obamacare will see Medicare slashed by billions. The drug prescription part of Medicare is going full steam ahead with its increase, but as I said, this is just a bone. The bill would stop increases for all recipients under part B, even though the majority of Americans on the plan would not see increases anyway due to no increases in social security.

That’s the part that Steny Hoyer has a problem with. He voted against the bill, and in his reasoning gave away what he really thought of Obamacare. “If we take care of everybody, we won’t be able to take care of those who need us most,” Hoyer said. I bet he wished he could take those words back. The truth can sting, can’t it Steny? So there you have it. He just summed up Obamacare in a nutshell. There is no way to cover 30-47 million more people (depending on what numbers are convenient for you that day), and not have it cost one more dime. There’s no way that rationing wouldn’t happen given the country is already experiencing a shortage of doctors. Pile millions more on their workload and see what shortage really means. It means rationing is absolutely certain. Now pile millions of freshly amnestied illegal aliens on top of that, along with their chain migrating family members. The result is an impossible plan that would decimate the health insurance industry and destroy health care for all but the wealthiest few who could afford to pay cash and line the pockets of their personal physicians. There’s always a way with money.

The problem is that the United States doesn’t have any of that money. China has it, and it seems to me that they wouldn’t be inclined to fork over billions more in money that may never be paid back in order to perpetuate a scheme that has failed before it was even implemented. If congress pulls a fast one and rams this thing through against the wishes of the American people, there will be carnage at the voting booth in 2010. It looks like there may be anyway.

  • HA! Now that was a great quote! He summed up what people like us have been saying all along and he didn’t even realize it. I bet he wishes he could take those words back. This administration has said so many different things to different people that they can’t keep up with all of their spin. Something like this was bound to happen eventually.

    E-verify could become a very significant immigration enforcement weapon, as it’s shown to work extremely well? Opponents have used the courts in erroneous lawsuits as a delaying factor but failed to impress a Maryland federal judge. This application discloses unauthorized immigrants in the workplace, being continually modified in its operation as spreads into the business world. It now has been unleashed on government contractors and subcontractors to locate illegal foreign labor. We should reward those government public servants who have battled outside special interest groups for American workers. But denying elected office to those who tried to kill or weaken its capabilities. Americans should harass their politicians to enact E-Verify permanently and prepare its operational program offering many uses in the incessant law enforcement fight.

    In credit practices it could determine a person’s right to buy any vehicle, if in the United Statesillegally. It could also disrupt radical organizations like ACORN that was instrumental in assisting foreign nationals buying house mortgages, which had a major impact in the real estate collapse. E-Verify should also be installed in financial institutions, to stop fraudulent transactions using bogus SS # or IRS ITIN loan identification numbers. E-Verify could help emergency rooms identify illegal immigrants using forged documents and enable law enforcement to track the employer. That business should be forced to pay for the person’s injury or treatment instead of the proverbial taxpayers. Schools, colleges could check new student admittances for their immigration status. The E-Verification identification system could accomplish numerous other extraction processes, in determining a person’s right to government benefits. In addition, I’m for Health Reform and public option for some family members. Illegal immigrants should be exempt, except for emergency hospital access.

    DON’T LET E-VERIFY EXPIRE ON SEPTEMBER 30? CALL YOUR LAWMAKER AT 202-224-3121 AND DEMAND OTHER USES. E-VERIFY COULD HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT, IN THE ILLEGAL INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY. CUT-OFF ALL BENEFITS. INSIST ON RESCINDING THE BIRTHRIGHT LAW, APPLICABLE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT MOTHERS. WE NEED NO NEW AMNESTY. E-VERIFY COULD SAVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT IS BEING PAID OUT TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN SANCTUARY CITIES AND STATES. IN ADDITION SAY–NO–TO FOREIGN NATIONALS BEING COUNTED IN THE 2010 CENSUS. GOOGLE– NUMBERSUSA, JUDICIAL WATCH & CAPSWEB FOR FACTS ON YOUR DOLLARS, STATISTICS, OVERPOPULATION, FAILING INFRASTRUCTURE AND CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON.

  • Hoyer probably thinks his comment went unnoticed. I’ll help them notice Steny.

  • Brittancus, I’m not sure if you’re a machine or human. Let me know. I welcome you comments, but they look more like a blog post than a comment. Little off topic. I don’t want to block anyone, but if you’re a bot I’m going to.
