Obama: Give Up Your Cell, Cable, and Phone For Insurance.

He really did mean that. If Mitt Romney had said that the press would be howling at how insensitive he was. Let them eat cake and all that.
Obama is the biggest elitist out there. Just don't blow a bunch of cash in Vegas.

Obama To People Who Can?t Afford Obamacare: Give Up Your Phone Or Cable To Pay For It? |

The President recently participated in a health care town hall with Spanish-language media. He responded to a question received via email, from a consumer who makes $36,000 per year and cannot find insurance for a family of three for less than $315 per month. The President responded that “if you looked at their cable bill, their telephone, their cell phone bill… it may turn out that, it’s just they haven’t prioritized health care.” He added that if a family member gets sick, the father “will wish he had paid that $300 a month.”

Republicans say the same thing to low income earners - get rid of the phone and the television. How is this different?

As cheap as things are in the US, this bloke should be able to afford his healthcare for the family. If he can't, he should find a better job, or his wife should get off her butt and find work.

Link to Republicans saying any of that?
 
OBAMA: I guess what I would say is, if you looked at that person's budget, and you looked at their cable bill, their telephone, their cell phone bill, it may turn out that it's just they haven't prioritized health care because right now everybody's healthy. Nobody actually wants to spend money on health insurance until they get sick.
WHO the HELL is HE to tell people to prioritize?

RUSH: Now, aside from the obvious, folks, what's wrong with that? So here's a guy, 36 grand a year, the cheapest premium he could find is $316 a month. He can't afford it. So Obama says, "Well, look at your budget, cable bill, telephone, cell phone bill, you're just not prioritizing things right." Hey, Mr. President, you may have forgotten, it's not a matter of priority. This man has to have it or he's in violation of your stupid law. He has been mandated by the Supreme Court and you and everybody else that he's got to have this. It isn't a matter of choice. His cell phone is. His cable TV bill is. But your health care bill is not. He has to have it or he is committing a crime, punishable with a fine and maybe imprisonment if he goes long enough without it.

Message from Obama? DO IT OR GO TO JAIL...

Simple enough? Do YOU like being told HOW to spend what you earn?

If the guy can't afford it, WHO is Obama to tell the guy what to do?
 
republicans tell the poor to do the same thing so save the faux outrage.

I don't recall any Republican telling people to give up services so they can fund the disaster known as Obamacare.

I do take issue with people who are on the doles and have all the extras provided for them. You see, we just don't want to pay for people's cable, phone and other things. Many of us budgeted and went without things because we did prioritize our health care. Then we had to turn around and pay for other people who didn't.

What irks me is that many of these people had insurance before and it fit into their budget. It no longer does, so Mr. Arrogant wants us to give something up for the newer, more expensive insurance. Fuck him.

Kathleen Sebelius announced that Obamacare will get even more expensive next year. It's a fucking mess and it's getting worse.

The fact that so few are interested in supporting Obamacare by actually purchasing it should tell you libs something. All these desperate ads out there show just how scared the Obama administration is because NO ONE wants this shit. All those people he supposedly did this for said no thanks. Repeal this mess since it can't be fixed.

And THIS issue alone will be the one where Democrats will lose seats. They can't hide from it. It's around their collective necks.
 
no he isnt you retard. he is explaining you may want to rethink how you spend your money.
No shit-for-brains. It's NONE of his business. OR YOURS.

So you can make suggestions for people but Obama cant...got it

Obie isn't making a suggestion you moron. He has mandated his suggestion through the democrats law.

There's a pretty big difference between suggesting someone do something and mandating they do it or pay a penalty for not following the great leader's advice.

Is healthcare good for people? Sure. Is it so good the government needs to demand you pay double the market price in order to get the healthcare they deem you need? Probably not. Is it worth having if that expense trumps all others in your budget and by law you paying that premium is going to be mandated you pay for before anything else in your life?

Used to be the priorities in a persons life was Food and shelter. Now you want it to become Obiecare...then food and shelter.
