Kamala Harris: If You Like Your Healthcare Plan, You Can’t Keep It      
By Timothy H. Lee
Thursday, August 15 2024

Between now and November, Harris’s campaign staff will likely attempt to sanitize her position as she seeks to mask her radicalism. Inconveniently for her, she didn’t just say it once. She repeated her threat multiple times before multiple audiences.
   
“If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it.” 

In 2013, Barack Obama was awarded PolitiFact’s “Lie of the Year” for making that claim during his ObamaCare sales pitch. 

Notably, it wasn’t just the PolitiFact staff who considered that dishonor appropriate.  In its reader poll of the ten finalists for “Lie of the Year,” a whopping 59% chose Obama’s claim, with the next option all the way down at just 8%. 

Kamala Harris, however, didn’t bother attempting to conceal her preference to abolish private healthcare plans in favor of a wholesale government takeover.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Are they going to abolish Medicare supplement plans, too?

Because the only people who get the whole tab picked up are on Medicaid, and a bunch of them are illegals.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
