Obama Admits He’s "Not Familiar" With House Bill

Following the inept and alarming example set by Congress passing legislation they have not fully read, President Obama is attempting to foist a $1.5 trillion dollar healthcare nightmare upon America, with whose details he is admittedly not familiar!

With the public’s trust in his handling of health care tanking (50%-44% of Americans disapprove), the White House has launched a new phase of its strategy designed to pass Obamacare: all Obama, all the time. As part of that effort, Obama hosted a conference call with leftist bloggers urging them to pressure Congress to pass his health plan as soon as possible.

During the call, a blogger from Maine said he kept running into an Investors Business Daily article that claimed Section 102 of the House health legislation would outlaw private insurance. He asked: “Is this true? Will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to write new policies even though H.R. 3200 is passed?” President Obama replied: “You know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about.”

This is a truly disturbing admission by the President, especially considering that later in the call, Obama promises yet again: “If you have health insurance, and you like it, and you have a doctor that you like, then you can keep it. Period.” How can Obama keep making this promise if he is not familiar with the health legislation that is being written in Congress? Details matter.

We are familiar with the passage IBD sites, and as we wrote last week, the House bill does not outright outlaw private individual health insurance, but it does effectively regulate it out of existence. The House bill does allow private insurance to be sold, but only “Exchange-participating health benefits plans.”

For the most part, President Obama’s inexperience has been primarily demonstrated by his over-reliance on his teleprompter. But more and more, his ineptitude as a chief executive is wreaking havoc on Americas economy. If this healthcare fiasco is allowed to pass, it will irrevocably change our culture — and healthcare system — forever. After all, which government funded entitlement has ever been rescinded?
