The Revolution Will Not Be Televised - The Obamacare Photos the MSM Doesn't Want You to See

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised - The Obamacare Photos the MSM Doesn't Want You to See

by Billionaires for Wealthcare

<...>

The corporate media doesn't want you to see these images of massive lines across the country of people signing up for Obamacare. They want to bury the inconvenient truth.

Whenever someone says the media is liberal, I laugh, because if the media was truly liberal these images would be plastered everywhere. Instead, the media is engaging in a blackout.

Oh, but if one ridiculous junk insurance policy is cancelled, the media ignites a firestorm, with wall to wall bleating.

The corrupt New York Times even had the gall to call ACA, "Obama's Katrina".

In Katrina nearly 2,000 people were drowned to death, hundred of thousands of people lost their homes, over $80,000,000,000 dollars in property damage, and the pathetic Times is so desperate to manufacture false equivalences, so they can cover for Republican crimes, that they disgustingly equate that catastrophe with 17 million people getting health insurance for the first times in their lives.

Sickening.

But they can't stop the internet.

So here is the proof -- Obamacare is a wild success.

However, I love the spirit of all those that are standing in those long lines. It reminds me of the lines to vote for Obama. Now they are there to "vote" for Obamacare!

However we have the internet as you say. And as Cruz proved, FB works, though not in the way he intended.

They showed the long lines but then there was Jonathan Karl asking the press secretary if anyone had paid yet, made sure to tell us that the online site was busy and somebody had to wait two hours or something. For one brief positive mention, two right-wing talking points.

New Front in the Fight With Infant Mortality

By EDUARDO PORTER

As the health care bill that was to become known as Obamacare was making its way through Congress in 2009, Senator Jon Kyl, Republican of Arizona, sought to block the requirement that health insurers cover a minimum set of health benefits determined by the federal government...Kyl’s proposed amendment embodied the conservative view: The Affordable Care Act that passed Congress in 2010 is an unacceptable intrusion into the private decisions of American families and businesses.

The Senate Finance Committee, by a vote of 14 to 9, rejected the amendment, opting for a different approach that could change, in subtle but profound ways, the nature of the American social contract.

Pregnant women, across the country and anywhere along the income spectrum, will for the first time have guaranteed access to health insurance offering a minimum standard of care that will help keep their babies alive.

The benefit may seem narrow. But it offers the best opportunity in a generation to tackle one of the United States’ most notorious stigmas: an intractably high infant mortality rate that hardly fits one of the richest, most technologically advanced nations on earth. If it succeeds, it could provide Americans with an alternative view of how government can serve society.

Kyl’s proposed amendment embodied the conservative view:

The Affordable Care Act that passed Congress in 2010 is an unacceptable intrusion into the private decisions of American families and businesses.

But the faux pro-life GOP with their insurance company death panels, Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, WIC and CHIP cutting ways; with their unmitigated hatred for women, the poor, disabled, elderly and children are never in favor of people, particularly women and LGBT, having any privacy!

Instead, Obamacare is preserving our right to private decisions and to save lives:


Pregnant women, across the country and anywhere along the income spectrum, will for the first time have guaranteed access to health insurance offering a minimum standard of care that will help keep their babies alive.
