Right after ObamaCare was signed into law, Rush Limbaugh was having another one of his kidding around moments at the microphone as he related a story (I don't know if its actually true or not) of a person who went to a local hospital and demanded that they get a free operation now that ObamaCare had passed. As Rush went on to explain, that person got a real shock when he/she found out that most of the benefits of ObamaCare won't even kick in until 2014.
In reality, Rush was right on the money. We now know that many Americans are confused as to what ObamaCare will really do for them and when. Since the law was passed, health care providers and health insurers are getting inundated with calls from people who are under the complete misconception that all the benefits of ObamaCare are available to them right now. In fact, this news/opinion piece that appeared in this morning's McClatchy papers and on the Drudge Report, "Health care overhaul spawns mass confusion for public", says it all.
This confusion is a direct result of the Democrats telling us about all the great things they've done for us by passing their health care reform. However, like some schiester selling swamp land in Florida, they neglected to reveal that the real meat of their program wouldn't be available until 2014. That's because, to implement those things, now, would completely blow out the deficit. So, Americans are finding out that the new health care reform is actually a lay-away plan; with payments starting now. Nancy Pelosi was dead-on when she proclaimed: "People will have to wait until the bill is passed before they will know what's in it".
I just can't believe that the Democrats thought they could pull the wool over America's eyes -- as if none of this stuff would ever come out. In fact, if you listened to them, they really thought that the people would come to love what they've done once all the facts were out. But, in reality, ObamaCare is actually losing ground in the polls since being passed. Once again, the Democrats are totally out of step with the principals and values of mainstream Americans.

You know what, George? I am really beginning to think that there are a lot of people out there who are swallowing the Obama theater hook, line, and sinker. It is really tragic. We are living through some very dark history here. It is amazing how a liar can fool so many people.
We can thank the majority of the journalists who are not doing their jobs, but are just pushing the Obama lies each and every day. We are so fortunate to have an alternative for news and opinion...in Rush and Beck. I pray we don't lose them for any reason.
Thanks for your thoughtful articles!
