Obama Healthcare Speech: Joe Wilson Yells You Lie

Joe Wilson Castigated by Democrats for Pointing Out the Obvious

Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC) is being brow beaten by outraged Democrats (ok, so when aren’t the Democrats outraged) because he yelled, "You lie!" after the  President  stated that the Health Care Bill would not cover illegal aliens.  While perhaps a breach of etiquette, the statement was, nevertheless, accurate. As we recently reported in this article Medicaid for Illegals – Dems Say Yes an amendment to H. R. 3200 (ECR001) would have specifically denied medicaid coverage to Illegal Aliens, but was defeated by the Democrat majority. The result would be identical if such an amendment were submitted to any of the Senate bills.  Obviously, Obama was either being very economical with the truth or  he was referring to a bill that doesn’t exist.  To believe that Obama was  telling the truth it is necessary to believe the latter: that illegal aliens are not covered in a Health Care Bill that does not exist.

The non-existent bill that does not include illegal aliens, is by the way, the same non-existent bill that does not cover abortions or ration health care.  It is the bill that does not have end of life councilling with people who have a vested economic interest in paitients choosing to die.  It may also be the bill where insurance companies are not allowed to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions and prevents them from practicing rescission, in effect, pulling the rug from beneath a person’s feet once they get seriously ill.   That bill, the one that doesn’t exist is definately better than any other Health Care Bill that does exist. It is a bill that many Americans would and probably should get behind. 

First,  unlike H. R. 3200, the original monstrosity created by the House and containing over 1,000 pages, the non-existent bill contains 0 pages which would allow even Rep. Conyers (D. MI) to understand it. Remember Rep. Conyers? He’s the reading challenged nonogenarian Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee who slurred:

 “I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Conyers. What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”

We’re with you buddy. Let’s work on passing the bill that does not exist, with votes that do not exist,  to cure the Insurance crises which does not exist, then everyone can claim victory and move on.  In the meantime, let’s help make sure that Joe Wilson gets re-elected.
