Michael Moore misjudges the public - again

Michael Moore: wrong again.

August 11, 2009 (Political Wire: http://politicalwire.com/archives/2009/08/11/michael_moore_on_the_public_option.html )

Michael Moore again misjudges the public. Former assembly-line worker, now radical filmmaker Michael Moore, who directed Sicko, discusses health care reform in the current issue of Rolling Stone:

"If a true public option is enacted -- and Obama knows this -- it will eventually bring about a single payer system, because the profit-making insurance companies won't be able to compete with a government run plan and make the profits they want to make."

Moore adds: "I probably shouldn't be saying this, but I'm counting on the fact that Republicans won't be reading this Rolling Stone."

Michael: conservatives will never be your beast of burden. We can’t get no satisfaction, or is it just my imagination, you gotta move or sparks will fly. Little by little, we are realizing we have no expectations of this out-of-control silver train called single-payer.

Obamacare advocates wonder why citizens are angry?

Here the White House blog accuses folks like Americans for Prosperity of spreading “scary emails” and miscommunications about the Obamacare socialized medicine:

AFP had a response: http://www.joinpatientsfirst.com/

But the best response is also on AFP’s website from single-payer advocates. http://www.kewego.com/video/iLyROoafM2iz.html is the most frightening video – with single-payer officials (Obama and his team) talking about wanting to put private insurance out of business and ending up with a single-payer (government) plan.

Obama said two things: first, that every American should have the Cadillac plan that Congress has. But Congress is exempted from Obamacare.

And recently, Obama is saying “if you like your current health care plan, you can keep it”. That is disingenuous as Obamacare is intended to drive the private market out of business so we are ALL on the gov’t plan.

No, Obamacare, this is by your own minions’ admission a strategy for getting there – to a single-payer/government-run socialized healthcare plan for Americans.

And they wonder why citizens are showing up a townhall meetings angry?
