Day After Obama Says "You Will Not Lose Your Health Care" McDonalds Announces 1.2 Million Will Likely Lose Coverage (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, September 30, 2010, 4:43 PM
On Wedneday Barack Obama told a group of Iowans that they would not lose their health care due to the democrat’s nationalized plan.
Dana Perino reacted to this blatant “mistruth” on Greta’s show.
On Thursday McDonalds announced that 1.2 million people will likely lose their health care.
The Examiner reported:
Coverage of 1.2 million people with mini-policies is under threat of health care reform claims Stuart Varney, anchor of “Varney & Co.”, as he tries to unweave the contradictions coming from McDonald’s and the White House after this morning’s Wall Street Journal bombshell revelation that McDonald fast food giant “could cut plans for 30,000 workers.”
“Here’s the story. The Wall Street Journal has gotten hold of a letter, written by McDonald’s to the authorities in Washington about health care. That letter says and I’m quoting,”
It would be economically prohibitive for our carrier to continue offering coverage.
“That’s to the 30,000 McDonald employees who get this low-cost low-coverage right now. McDonald’s is saying economically – not good – with the health care act in place. McDonalds this morning turns around and says – ‘False story! Not true; we’re not considering dropping coverage. Health and Human Services turns around this morning and says, ‘The story is wrong.’
Of course, the fact that Obama continues to lie to the American people about his unpopular health care bill surprises no one.

Great, Obama really making the country sound and thriving. eat a big mac and not pass go to hospital. Great, no chance to fix digestion problems. I think Obama forced the dem congress to not pass Michelle’s help the poor food programs at schools, because Obama wants to kill babies and children — or make them fat with junk food. Is that writting stype a tactic of the left? Or is it truth?
Conservative Ken commented:
The further the Obama agenda goes the more I wonder if he will leave office in 2012(presumably) or if he will be an Americanized version of Castro.

whatever he says…..you can eliminate an unwanted benefit just by making it unattractive.
he can say that no one will lose their benefits with a straight face because he knows the cost would be prohibitive and the business would be the set-up fall guy when they can’t meet his mandates…like medicare – you don’t have to do
the dirty work yourself – just set prices so low
providers drop out. you can still claim you have the program but lotsa luck finding a provider.

John Fembup commented:
I know that HHS has given Aetna a waiver. This means the 400,000 members in an Aetna subsidiary who have limited-benefits policies will apparently be able to keep their coverage – for a year anyway.
Is that good news?
I don’t think so.
The real news is that HHS has the legal power to do whatever they want. This year, OK, go ahead. Next year, what have you done for us to earn our beneficence?
Are we in fact a nation of laws?
No.
We are a nation tyrannized by faceless bureaucrats, acting under laws that allow them to make decisions based on their personal agendas and biases. And those decisions have the force of law.
This is bad news people. It’s much bigger than insurance. It’s bad news because of the unrestrained power that Congress has bestowed on the executive branch.
It’s as though the 9th and 10th amendments have been erased.

OT: Boring here tonight so I’m watching old movies on Netflix On Demand. Just finished watching Iron Eagle, a movie from the 80′s. So, these kids, members of an Air Force Explorer Squadron, are talking about the Air Force going in to rescue someone’s dad. Some kid says how great the AF is. Another pipes up “Iran?” And then one chimes in – Iran was under Mr. Peanut. The one we have now don’t take no crap from anybody. That’s why he has that special name – Ronnie Ray Gun!
Could use a little of that Ray Gun about now

Hey Fox News;I’ll personally buy every one of your employees an extra value meal if you replace Shepard Smith with Dana Perino.

Hello folks,
This is the public option that the imposter in cheif promised. MD’s is doing what all other companies will do. Dump the health care and pay the fine. As you know the fine is cheeper than providing health care.
If you make less than $29.3K your on medicare.
If you make more you will have to pay or else you’ll be fined and possible face jail time. Oh yeah did any body tell you the gov cut the amount of care that medicare will cover. Say hello death panel! Please…..
Obama is a trader and an imposter.
BR, Dave

i’m still amazed that some people still like obama and think he’s doing a good job. I went to a co-workers office yesterday and he still had an obama calender on his wall, then today I went to subway for dinner and this guy comes in with an obama shirt on. maybe people should lose their insurance coverage, get a taste of what they voted for, they made their bed let them lie in it.
thomas mc donnell commented:
there was a lot of misinformation put out during the healthcare debate. it was by obama and the liberals. they lied like rugs.
Kevin commented:
I don’t think this is so much ‘unintended consequences’ as it is ‘should have been smart enough to anticipate this consequences’
Personally I think they may honk about it but this is really their plan to get everyone on the government system.
It’s ok though, Nov. 2nd is going to be more gruesome than the democrats can even envision at this point, it will be a bloodbath of biblical proportions.

If it wasn’t for Obama’s lies he would be considered “deaf and dumb” and be eligible for government assistance.
Sorry, I forgot, he already receives government assistance.
