Conyers: Healthcare will make Obama a 1-term President
Last night at Busboys and Poets bookstore in trendy Northwest DC, Congressman John Conyers told assembled activists on the occasion of Progressive Democrats of America’s fifth birthday that “There is no one more disappointed than I am in Barack Obama.”
On the impending healthcare bill, Conyers said, “suppose we happen to pass it? Big deal. That’s what Rahm Emanuel wants — pass anything just to say we did.” A weak plan, Conyers said, would not help things: “It’s going to fail.”
In either case, Conyers concluded, whether we get no bill or a weak bill, “they’ll blame Barack Obama. Heads he loses, tails he loses.” So, Conyers said, “we’ve got to tell Obama now, or he’ll be a one term president.”
Of course, radical John Conyers wants the most extreme and intrusive brand of healthcare. Americans seem to oppose that.
A Gallup poll today says that seniors are more concerned about the Obama Healthcare plan;
Seniors are the least likely of all age groups in the U.S. to say that healthcare reform will benefit their personal healthcare situation. By a margin of three to one, 36% to 12%, adults 65 and older are more likely to believe healthcare reform will reduce rather than expand their access to healthcare.
Fox News this morning featured a retired Navy veteran who dropped his AARP membership and insurance in protest of AARP’s support of the Obama health care plan.
Yeah, well, AARP is nothing more than an insurance brokerage. They like Obama health care because every one will have to buy a new policy to fill the gaps of the government plan.

AARP members need to be made aware that the outfit exists to make money – they really don’t give a darn about the people they supposedly serve (kinda like Congress) – and they are on the take in the form of kickbacks or payments of some sort from their mutual funds offered and other services – it is all “pay to play”.
I refuse to join the organization, and friends of mine quit years ago.
John “Why-Read-The-Bill” Conyers is unhappy with the bill he didn’t read?
why does this Retired Navy Veteran have AARP insurance? Did he not like paying the $33.40 a month for TriCare?
Jonn, I think we possibly got another “Phony Soldier”
AD; Folks that are retired from the military and don’t use military facilities usually have insurance to fill the gaps left by Tri-care. When I had my first heart attack, after the Army paid my bills, there was still about a $5000 gap I had to pay out of my pocket because there were no Army hospitals at Fort Drum near where I lived. Besides, I think he said that it was life insurance.
Note to Congresscritter Conyers. Would you relay to your wife, the disgraced, former city council member from the city of Detroit, the city would like the $29K in goods and stuff that she walked out with, when she was forced to quit? You know, the money and other stuff that YOU had no idea of, not a thought of where the dough came from, the 7 or 8 laptops that may have suddenly popped up at home?
I guess this Retired Navy Veteran preferred AARP over the Veterans Group Life Insurance (VGLI) which is offered to veterans who leave active duty with SGLI and want to convert it to the Department of Veterans Affairs equivalent life insurance.
Jonn, hope all is well since your heart attacks, but that seems really odd about having to pay out of pocket. We’ve had some serious issues happen in our families life and we live about 5 hours away from any military installation. We’ve been seen at the local hospital numerous times and been admitted numerous times and have never ever had a out of pocket expense with TriCare. Actually, I take that back, I had to pay for the ambulance which came to be $135
You should check the VGLI rates for retirees. If I remember correctly, a veteran would be paying hundreds of dollars per month for a small VGLI benefit. That’s why most of us convert the VGLI insurability to a permanent life insurance policy when we’re younger so we pay a lower premium when we’re older. You should look into that.
My first heart attack was in 1997, so Tricare may have changed a bit since then. I’m just telling you what happened. Do I have to post the bills for you?
[…] This ani’t hell asks if Obamacare will make Obama a 1 term president. […]
