"Attentive consumers of news on the Internet may have noticed that the White House recently invited loyal citizens to report when they receive "an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy" to the official e-mail address [email protected]. Loyal citizens are to report fishy comments to Linda Douglass, someone who looks suspiciously like Krupskaya, or Nurse Ratched.

As a student of history, I think I know how this works. I want to spare my family and friends the pressure they may feel they are under to turn me in. I confess. I harbor a number of thoughts the Obama White House and Ms. Douglass deem highly fishy. I'm turning myself in.

Whatever President Obama says to induce support of his desired health care -- excuse me, I mean health insurance -- reform, I believe exactly the opposite. I believe he says what he says because he knows his desired reform is unpopular. I believe what Obama says bears no relationship to what the legislation he supports would do.

Thus when President Obama says if you like your insurance plan, your doctor, or both, you will be able to keep them, I believe he is slinging it. I harbor the guilty thought that the legislation he supports would create incentives for employers to dump employees who like their health insurance into a government plan.

When President Obama says that health care -- excuse me, health insurance -- reform is necessary to get budget deficits under control, I believe he is slinging it. I harbor the guilty thought that the legislation he supports would create deficits so large it would turn the United States into a banana republic.

When President Obama denies that he supports a Canadian-style single payer health care system, I believe he is slinging it. I believe what he seems to have said frequently in the past to the effect that he supports a system of single payer universal insurance. I harbor the guilty thought that he supports legislation that will inevitably lead to this result incrementally.

When President Obama says what he says to promote health care -- excuse me, health insurance -- reform, I believe he is slinging it. I harbor the guilty thought that he wants a government takeover of the health care system to turn citizens into supplicants and wards of the state.

I confess. I am guilty of fishy thoughts."

Obama to Citizens on Health Care: Send In All Fishy Emails


Comments:
I got my scariest info from --> www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h3200/text <-- wonder if they're gonna shut it down 'for public safety'.
Thanks Time*treat!!! Probably will, we might actually read it instead of relying on the press cheer leaders.

Thanks for the link, have to chase down a rumor my son heard on the radio today that this health care bill gives them access to your bank account so they can auto debit your fee for whatever they say you owe for coverage.
I share every one of the guilty thoughts the author wrote. I think of them more as "truisms" though.
Thanks Todd!!! Me too!!!

You know the problem is getting real traction when Powerline takes it on. They're the ones who ran with the Dan Rather counterfeit story. I doubt them letting go of this until the White House position is reversed totally and a retraction is issued.
