Blockbuster – Obama in 2007: Healthcare Plan May Transition U.S. to Single Payer System Over Time
Morgen on August 9, 2009
Over the past several weeks, the President has forcefully and repeatedly claimed that those of us who say his health reform plan will ultimately lead to a government take-over of the health care are “not telling the truth”. Just this past weekend, he lashed out again at these claims, calling them “outlandish rumors”.
Perhaps the White House should stop and consider that most of these “rumors” have been generated by members of his own party, who have admitted that the public option will over time lead to a fully nationalized, single-payer system. It all started with the clip we discovered of Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) back in April. Followed by Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI). And more recently, this clip of Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), which was also first brought to light by VS.
Perhaps the White House should also consider that high profile media supporters of the President’s plan have also played a key role in initiating these crazy rumors. Most directly (and amusingly) there is this video we discovered and posted of Washington Post reporter Ezra Klein. And that great sage of liberal economic wisdom – Paul Krugman – recently got into the act as well.
But if all of this is STILL not enough for the Administration to consider that perhaps these “rumors” are not so unfounded after all, I have another rumor-monger to submit for the record. The President himself. From a “Fact Check” posted on the Obama campaign web site in Jan. 2008, quoting Senator Obama:
