intellectualammo Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Have you seen this video of Dr. Barbara Beller, speaking about ObamaCare in one sentence? http://m.youtube.com/index?tab=w1&desktop_uri=%2F%3Ftab%3Dw1#/watch?v=vdnY8r7_fLw She is Republican that wants to be a state Senator from Illinois, she gave that one-liner while warming the crowd for an event, here is the article about it, the longer speech is also available on youtube. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/02/doctor-seeking-illinois-senate-seat-offers-brutal-diagnosis-obamacare-in-viral/?test=latestnews “ We’re going to be gifted with a healthcare plan we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t, which puportedly covers at least 10 million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes, with funding (laughing & applause) same sentence – with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, for which we will be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted social security and medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and (laughing & applause) and financed by a country that’s broke.

Ninth Doctor Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 How does ObamaCare differ from RomneyCare? Federal vs. State? Also, there's a chance ObamaCare will be repealed if, ironically, Romney wins and the Congress is so constituted that they can pass a repeal...that's a difference of sorts.

mdegges Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Federal vs. State? Does it matter if it's state or federal? Massachusetts' RomneyCare was funded by "larger payments that it negotiated from the federal government for its Medicaid program." So if RomneyCare is being funded by the federal government, and ObamaCare is being funded by taxes, is semantics the only difference?

Nicky Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 That is impressive. It's impressive that she managed to cram a good half dozen logical fallacies and half truths into a single sentence, all the while steering clear of even a single valid argument against Obamacare.
