“Speaker Pelosi has her own idiosyncratic dictionary, in which federal agencies can pay for abortion on demand without spending ‘public funds’ or ‘taxpayer funds’ for abortion,” Johnson said. “In ordinary English, however, this is deceptive claptrap.”

The president is “totally not serious” about considering Republican ideas, Morris says in an interview with Newsmax.TV. “He’s giving us a terrible bill.”

Obama’s proposed tax increases to finance his healthcare proposal would put the top rate for federal, state and Medicare taxes at about 50 percent, Morris says.

In addition, Obama wants to raise the capital gains tax. “Every single time you raise the capital gains tax, your revenues go crashing, because there’s less investment and spending,” Morris says.

Boehner also criticized the president’s plan for creating “a new entitlement program that will bankrupt our country” and “an employer mandate … that says that employers, you’ve got to provide health insurance to the American people, or you’re going to pay this tax.”

Obama’s incessant push for his healthcare plan despite the wishes of the American people can only be explained when you consider the real long term goal of Obama and the Progressive Democrats is public healthcare.

Staff shortages at Stafford Hospital meant that patients went unwashed for weeks, were left without food or drink and were even unable to get to the lavatory. Some lay in soiled sheets that relatives had to take home to wash, others developed infections or had falls, occasionally fatal. Many staff did their best but the attitude of some nurses “left a lot to be desired”. Is this our future under Obamacare?

His leading alternate approach would provide health insurance to perhaps 15 million Americans, about half what the comprehensive bill would cover, according to two people familiar with the planning.

Inasmuch as Obamacare has a snowball’s chance in hell of passing (but did you see how much snow they got in hell last week?), everyone is wondering what President Obama is up to by calling Republicans to a televised Reykjavik summit this week to discuss socializing health care.

On Monday President Obama revealed how unwilling he is to move toward the GOP, by introducing yet another massive proposal that not only reinforces many of the elements of governmental intrusion into the health care economy that the Republicans have already rejected but, in the words of several commentators, “doubles down” on what the Democrats in Congress have already thrown up for consideration.

It’s not a good idea for Republicans to accept President Barack Obama’s invitation to a “bipartisan” health care summit, because it would not advance acceptable health care reform. The only thing it likely would advance would be Obama’s propaganda message — and, thus, his socialist agenda.

Indeed, there’s a bipartisan consensus growing in Washington that the whole thing is a setup. Obama is going to say “nice doggie” to Republicans right up until the moment he smashes them with a rolled-up 2,000-page health-care bill.
