New Anti-Obama Health Care Front Group: Patients United Now

by Jason Rosenbaum  ::  Filed Under U.S. Domestic Issues  ::  May 26th, 2009 @ 5:08 pm EST

Let’s take a quick roll call. Who’s against President Obama’s health care plan so far?

  • The insurance industry? I say yes, but they say no.
  • Big drug companies? Again, I say yes, but they say no.
  • Moderate Democrats? No.
  • The American people? Definitely not.
  • Republicans? Yes, but they’ve been rather quiet.

Up until now, there was only one person really going all out against Obama and his health care plan, and that person was Rick Scott. So, disgraced CEOs are against Obama’s health care plan.

We can add a new group to that list: Teabaggers!

Americans for Prosperity, a lead group behind the lobbyist-organized “Tax Day Teaparties” of ultraconservatives around the country, has set up a new front group called “Patients United Now.”

The group is right out of Frank Luntz’s playbook, trotting out the now familiar horror stories (used by Rick Scott) of health care in other countries.

So, let’s say it once again: The health care reform proposal from President Obama is not a copy of any other system in the world. We’re not going to become Britain or Canada. With Obama’s proposal, you can keep the insurance you have if you like it, period. Nobody will force you into anything.

Americans for Prosperity will be going up on TV with these lies anyway, proudly telling the world how much teabaggers oppose Obama’s health care plan. Like I didn’t know that already…

The question is who is going to pay for it? If it’s anyone other than those that didn’t earn it (as is the norm these days) than it’s just more entitlement attitude by Socialist Obama to the non-working class, illegal aliens and the rest of the freeloaders of America.
