Fox News - "SARAH PALIN: Lies, Damn Lies -- Obamacare 6 Months Later, It’s Time to Take Back the 20!
For those of you yearning to hear the wisdom of Sarah Palin, here is an opinion purportedly written by her:

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/09/24/sarah-palin-health-care-reform-obamacare-berwick-death-panels-facebook/


It’s now six months since President Obama took control of one-sixth of the private sector economy with his health care “reform,” and the first changes to our health care system come into effect on Thursday, September 23.

Despite overwhelming public dislike of the bill, we were told that D.C. knows best, and there was nothing to worry about, and we’d be better off swallowing the pill called Obamacare; so, in defiance of the will of the people, the president and his party rammed through this mother of all unfunded mandates. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Congress had to pass the bill so that Americans could “find out what is in it.” We found out that it’s even worse than we feared.

Remember when the president said, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”? Not true. In Texas alone a record number of doctors are leaving the Medicare system because of the cuts in reimbursements forced on them by Obamacare! The president of the Texas Medical Association, Dr. Susan Bailey, warns that “the Medicare system is beginning to implode.”

Remember the Obama administration’s promise that Obamacare would cut a typical family’s premium “by up to $2,500 a year”? Not true. In fact, fueled by reports that insurers expect premiums to rise by as much as 25 percent as a result of Obamacare, Senate Democrats are contemplating the introduction of price controls.

Remember when the president said in his address to Congress that “no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions”? That turned out to be yet another one of those “You lie!” moments. We found out that Obamacare-mandated high risk insurance pools set up in states like Pennsylvania and New Mexico will fund abortions after all.

2. NO remember the cuts to Medicare where passed
by the Bush administration to take effect AFTER HE LEFT OFFICE. So he could screw the next president.
