Kagen, Obey, Dems, Lied About Health Care

From the Green Bay Press about the democrats health care bill that they and only they passed. Let's give the AP and the GBP credit for printing this story. The real question is, will readers understand just what really happened here?
"Health-care reform debate still rages Obama, Democrats now focus on selling health care to voters
The Associated Press • March 23, 2010

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama celebrates the crowning achievement of his presidency today as he signs into law a massive health-care overhaul bill that had been seen as dead just two months ago. That, however, will not end America's raging debate over the legislation."

Look at the headline, "Obama, Democrats now focus on selling health care to voters", Can someone help me here? Do you go to a bank to sign the papers to buy a house and then go to a realtor to find one? Do you take out a loan for a car or truck make your first payment and then go to a dealer and pick out the vehicle you want? Obama and the dems sign health care into law and now have to sell it to you ?
The bill, passed by the House of Representatives on Sunday night, will bring near-universal coverage to a wealthy country in which tens of millions of people are uninsured. It makes Obama the first president to succeed in passing comprehensive health-care reform since Teddy Roosevelt championed the cause a century ago.

Although the bill does not provide universal health care, it should expand coverage to about 95 percent of eligible Americans, compared with 83 percent today.


Didn't Steve Kagen, Dave Obey and the rest tell us we needed universal health care? What does "will bring near-universal coverage" and "Although the bill does not provide universal health care", mean? Not health care for all? Wait one minute, for one year they told us all people need health care coverage, and now it's most but not all ?So if this country has 300 mil people, then 15 million still will not be covered? They lied to the American people?


Although the bill does not provide universal health care, it should expand coverage to about 95 percent of eligible Americans, compared with 83 percent today.

They promised health care for everyone, now it's not for everyone! Hello people, do you see what just happened here?
The Senate-passed bill cleared the House on Sunday night on a 219-212 vote, with Republicans unanimous in opposition.

At least the no vote was bi-partisan. Funny we see no comments from the democrats that voted no.
Obama will go to the state of Iowa on Thursday for a public event as he now turns to seeing the companion bill through the Senate and selling the health-care overhaul's benefits on behalf of House lawmakers who cast risky votes.

When will President Obama come to Wisconsin and campaign for Steve Kagen and Dave Obey? Kagen, Obey and the rest who voted for this bill have some explaining to do to the voters of this country. They lied!


Just like a snake oil salesman, they sold us sugar water! Steve Kagen and Dave Obey lied to the people of Wisconsin.
