Thank you for waiting, sir.  Great to have you on the air.  Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Oh, it\u2019s my pleasure, Rush.  I\u2019ve had 20-plus years with you. It was a thrill the first time I heard you say what I was thinking, so thank you for a lot of great years together.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you, sir.  I appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>CALLER:  Hey, my question is simple.  I wanted your opinion on something the Republicans might want to offer, which would be to supplement &#8212; but not supplant &#8212; our current health care, where there is a problem with the rollout.  Sebelius said that she wanted five years and, you know, the senators up for reelection are talking about backing off the mandate.  Why don\u2019t we just say let\u2019s keep the current system in place, supplement it with Obamacare, and if it is that good, keep on running parallel tracks. You know, if people want to go that way, they can, but just don\u2019t pull people off their current insurance and let Obama and the Democrats try to sell it at that point.<\/line><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_83591\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaQuoteDoctorPIX.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well (sigh), it\u2019s an interesting academic exercise, but you know it would never happen.  If I understand you right, what you\u2019re suggesting is, &#8220;Okay, let the Republicans propose to people: &#8216;If you like your insurance, you keep it. If you like your doctor, you keep it. If you like your insurance, if you like your health care, you keep it, and you don\u2019t get touched,'&#8221; and then Obama can deal with people that don\u2019t like it and the end of the day we see which one wins?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah, run parallel, \u2019cause it\u2019s not ready for prime time.  It will back \u2019em up \u2019til after 2014, and they\u2019ll have to cave on the mandate.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Here\u2019s the problem with that. I may be misunderstanding you here, but the problem with that is Obama doesn\u2019t want what he\u2019s doing to &#8220;work&#8221; in the same way that you and I think of something succeeding.  His definition of this working is wiping out private sector insurance and everybody ends up on Medicaid.  You\u2019re looking at the Republicans making political points by offering, &#8220;Here\u2019s our solution: You like your plan, you keep it.&#8221;  Right?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, yeah, but also let Obamacare try to get on track and run parallel courses for a determined date or indefinitely in the marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  But what&#8230;? Look, I may be really thickheaded today, but who\u2019s gonna let the Republicans do this?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, if it\u2019s not ready yet and everyone\u2019s running up on this December 1st and January deadline where nothing\u2019s ready &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Obama\u2019s not gonna admit that it isn\u2019t ready.  It is ready.  They\u2019re gonna announce enrollment figures here.  They\u2019re heading on down the tracks.  There\u2019s nothing wrong.  Obama apologized for the way you\u2019re feeling about it.  He has not apologized for what he did. There\u2019s nothing wrong with it as far as they\u2019re concerned.  It\u2019s working just fine.  They\u2019ll get that website up and running by the end of the month, they say, and then we\u2019re off to the races.<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>CALLER:  Well, the 11 people that signed up could easily be absorbed into the current system.  I\u2019d like to see someone say, &#8220;Let\u2019s not scrap the current system and let it run parallel to Obamacare.&#8221;<\/line><BR\/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qpa-5JdCnmo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It\u2019s too&#8230; There\u2019s no way. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  It\u2019s possible.  You\u2019ve got Democrats &#8212; Democrats are looking, yeah, at 2016.  Because when Obama\u2019s gone, they\u2019ll still be here.  You\u2019ve got people, senators walking up to the White House saying they have a problem with this.  Obama, he\u2019s just gonna &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  It\u2019s too late.  The plans are gone.  You can\u2019t keep it.  We\u2019re that far into Obamacare.  You can\u2019t keep Obamacare on one track and then have people keep their insurance on the other track because the policies are gone.  They are vanished.  They have been canceled.  They have been done away with. They don\u2019t comply with Obamacare.  There\u2019s no way.  This is like my proposal after Obama was elected.  <a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/news\/articles\/SB123318906638926749\">I wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;Mr. President, you want to spend $1 trillion on your stimulus.  Well, give me 47% of it, \u2019cause my side got 47% of the vote, and I\u2019ll do with 47% of the stimulus what I think, and you do with yours what you think, and at the end of a year we\u2019ll see who\u2019s doing better.&#8221;  He\u2019s never gonna do that.  It was an academic exercise.  It was a think piece.  It was not proposed thinking that it was ever gonna happen. <\/p>\n<p>Obama is not gonna do it, and there\u2019s no Democrat that\u2019s gonna go to Obama and say, &#8220;Look, pal, we\u2019re sucking here and we\u2019re in bad trouble and you\u2019re gonna have to let people start keeping their policies.&#8221;  It isn\u2019t gonna happen.  I don\u2019t care what you do. The last thing that\u2019s gonna happen here is they give the Republicans anything.  It just isn\u2019t gonna happen &#8212; and besides, the policies are gone.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It\u2019s great to have you, and I don\u2019t want anybody to think I was mean or dismissive of our previous caller.  There\u2019s some reality here.  In the first place, the Republicans have legislation out there.  It\u2019s been proposed. &#8220;You like your plan, you get to keep it.&#8221;  There\u2019s all kinds of Republican alternatives.  They\u2019re never gonna see the light of day.  I know that was the argument of Ted Cruz, but Ted Cruz was trying for something different &#8212; a groundswell of public opinion to stop it. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s about the only thing that\u2019s gonna work. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>Congress is a follower, it\u2019s not a leader, and Cruz understood this.  But there is legislation to that effect before Congress, and Barack Obama\u2019s never gonna sign it, even if it got through Congress.  But here\u2019s the problem.  You cannot have &#8220;parallel tracks&#8221; with the right way on one hand and Obamacare on the other hand.  In the first place, Obamacare can\u2019t survive with private sector insurance the way it is today.  There\u2019s no need for Obamacare.  Obamacare doesn\u2019t peacefully co-exist with the private sector. <\/line><BR\/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=10963\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_83592\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CruzLeePIX.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/line><\/p>\n<p>Obamacare is not an alternative.  You choose Obamacare, you lose your policy.  Obamacare is mandatory.  There is no choice, by definition.  You are losing your choice.  And all of these hundreds of thousands, millions of people being canceled are now learning this.  There is no choice anymore.  That\u2019s the whole thing with liberalism.  You lose your choice.  Everything becomes a mandate.  Everything becomes something you have to do, or you\u2019re in violation of the state. <\/p>\n<p>Obamacare simply cannot survive with private insurance the way it is, and so those policies are gone.  Even if you came up with a way to keep your current plan, at some point that plan\u2019s gonna go away because it\u2019s not in compliance &#8212; and once that happens, you\u2019re gonna lose it anyway, and then all you can do is go to an exchange and take what they offer &#8212; and it isn\u2019t much.  Nobody, nobody is going to sign up for Obamacare unless they are forced it.  That\u2019s what Obama knows.  Nobody would choose this. <\/p>\n<p>This is why I&#8230; Folks, I\u2019m sorry.  Five years, four years, three, whatever it is, I\u2019ve been shouting this stuff from the mountaintops to people, and because of people\u2019s attitude toward the presidency, they just don\u2019t believe the president would lie to them.  They didn\u2019t listen.  They didn\u2019t hear it.  Now the reality is seeping in, and they\u2019re even struggling with how to deal with that. <\/p>\n<p>But nobody will sign up for Obamacare unless they\u2019re forced to, and therefore everybody is going to be forced to.  That\u2019s why there is an individual mandate!  You have to be forced, otherwise you wouldn\u2019t.  Even they know it.  Even the Obamacare people know it.  Nobody would choose this.  That\u2019s the whole point of liberalism.  You don\u2019t know what\u2019s good for you.  They do.  You will never do the &#8220;right&#8221; thing. <\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t spend your money the right way, you won\u2019t donate to the right people, you won\u2019t support government enough.  They have to take your money.  They have to tell you how to live.  They have to tell you what you can and can\u2019t eat and what you can and can\u2019t drive.  And they have to tell you how big your portions can be. This is who they are, folks.  There is no parallel system where you can choose.  That happens at the ballot box. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where you have to make that choice, is when you vote.  It\u2019s too late now on this.  The only solution here is to get rid of Obamacare, not peacefully co-exist with it, because that can\u2019t be done, that isn\u2019t possible.  And the idea, &#8220;Well, maybe Democrats are in trouble. Maybe Obama would go for that.&#8221;  Obama\u2019s not up for reelection.  He doesn\u2019t care about the other Democrats.  He doesn\u2019t! Here\u2019s the thing that matters.<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>If you believe nothing of what I say, if you believe nothing of what I say, believe this:  What people do not understand is that as far as Obama is concerned, Obamacare is working perfectly right now.  It is happening exactly as it was drawn up.  It is happening exactly as it was designed.  &#8220;Mr. Limbaugh, do you mean to tell me they intended for the website to fail?&#8221;  Well, let me ask you a question about that.<\/line><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_83593\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obamacare2014Dems.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got a story here about three nerds from San Francisco who went in and created an Obamacare alternative over the weekend that\u2019s up and running. It\u2019s a mock-up.  Do you know&#8230;? I would submit to you that there is a possibility this is a screw-up on purpose, because there are two things that you do not learn when you sign up.  A, that when you sign up, every bit of personal data you give is irretrievable.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s gone. The government has it. You can\u2019t get it back.  The next thing is, you have to keep drilling down and drilling down and drilling down before you find out what this costs.  Every other website that you visit, the price of what you\u2019re gonna buy is on the first page you visit.  That\u2019s the first thing they tell you is what it costs, because in most cases that\u2019s the selling point.  With Obamacare, it\u2019s hidden. <\/p>\n<p>The costs, the lack of choice, the benefit range is what you never get to, because you get the dreaded 404 ERROR, and it is my contention that that is on purpose. If the first thing you saw when you went to HealthCare.gov was, &#8220;Sorry, you lose your policy and your premium now triples,&#8221; that would cause the revolt.  They are purposely hiding this.  You have to drill down on this website so far that you can\u2019t get there before it crashes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_83594\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obamacare_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>So you\u2019re learning how much it\u2019s gonna cost because your dreaded insurance company is canceling you, not Obama.  So you hate the insurance company. You think they\u2019re typical, trying to kill you, don\u2019t care about you, big-time corporate Republicans, right?  The fact of the matter is, Obamacare has set up so that you do blame the insurance companies and not him or the Democrat Party. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>But those of you that have gone to HealthCare.gov, tell me: How easy was it for you to find out what your new costs are gonna be, and how easy was it for you to find out that you\u2019re gonna lose your doctor and that your current plan was no good?  My guess is, you never did learn that on that website.  So there\u2019s a part of me that thinks even the website screw-up is on purpose \u2019cause nobody with $600 million could devise something this absolutely worse unless they intended to. <\/p>\n<p>I mean, it\u2019s that bad. <\/p>\n<p>You go to Amazon.com. Whatever you go there for, there\u2019s the price, and the sale price and the rebate, and what it will cost you if you give a coupon.  None of that is available with Obamacare.  You don\u2019t know what the hell anything is gonna cost!  They\u2019re hiding that from you.  They\u2019re hiding your premiums, tripling or doubling them.  They\u2019re hiding your deductible tripling.  They\u2019re hiding what\u2019s happening to your out-of-pocket, and they\u2019re certainly hiding from you that your current plan goes by the wayside. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re putting all of the really important stuff on the back end of this website &#8212; on purpose, by design &#8212; not the front.  So my point to you is: Whether the website was designed to be a mess, I don\u2019t know, but I could make a case for it.  It doesn\u2019t matter.  The fact of the matter is, if you believe nothing else of what I\u2019m saying, understand that as far as Obama is concerned, Obamacare is rolling out nearly perfectly.  The only way that Obamacare will survive is if millions of people are forced into it by losing their previous coverage. <\/p>\n<p>Now, I think, at the end of the day, it\u2019s never really going to work.  That\u2019s the sad thing.  I mean, it\u2019s not gonna work in the sense that you or I think of something working. You have to understand the way the liberal looks at something working.  Their purpose here is not to provide you health care cheaply, affordably and plentifully. That\u2019s not what this is about to them.  This is about taking over one-sixth of the US economy and controlling as much of your life as they can.  I realize that a low-information voter hearing me say that is not gonna believe it.  That\u2019s gonna sound like kook talk to them.  I know it\u2019s not persuading anybody to tell \u2019em that, but that\u2019s the truth. <\/p>\n<p>I mean, I\u2019m sure that they would love it if you would happily give up your current policy, you\u2019d happily pay higher costs so that other people can be insured.  I\u2019m sure they\u2019d like that, don\u2019t misunderstand.  But the chaos, the confusion, the fact that you\u2019ve got nowhere to go other than the exchange now, that\u2019s exactly as designed.  They don\u2019t want an option where you keep your plan available to you.  This is why the nature of Obama\u2019s lie is so profound and huge and personal and impeachable, if you ask me.  This lie, that you can keep your plan if you like it and keep your doctor, folks, that\u2019s fraud.  My good friend Andy McCarthy wrote a <a href=\"http:\/\/m.nationalreview.com\/article\/363538\/obamas-massive-fraud-andrew-c-mccarthy\">great piece<\/a> on this over the weekend at National Review Online. <\/p>\n<p>I mean, I got a question for you.  I think <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DavidLimbaugh\/status\/399680725315637248\">my brother tweeted this out<\/a>. I think that\u2019s where I saw it.  It is arguable now who committed the greater fraud, Bernie Madoff or Barack Obama.  Madoff defrauded a few.  This is defrauding the entire country.  The president of the United States lied to the entire country on the most important thing to people, their health care and their current plan, and remember, now, I want to try this one more time.  His number one selling point that he repeated over and over again for three solid years was: &#8220;You like your plan, you keep it.&#8221;  There\u2019s an obvious question that derives from that.  Well, then why change anything? <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_83597\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaMadoffPIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>If everybody can keep their plan or keep their doctor if they like it, then what the hell is wrong with health care?  If that\u2019s what it took to get your vote, if that\u2019s what it took to get your support for Obama &#8212; you like your plan, you keep it &#8212; then what was wrong?  Why do we need Obamacare?  &#8220;Well, there\u2019s 30 million uninsured.&#8221;  Oh.  How are we gonna insure \u2019em?  It turns out they\u2019re not even gonna be insured after all of this.  But this lie, you like your doctor, you can keep it, the premium comes down $2,500, you like your policy, you keep that, that\u2019s why this lie is so bad. It\u2019s because he lied about the most important fundamental truth of Obamacare, which is you can\u2019t keep your plan, you can\u2019t keep your doctor, by definition.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>They aren\u2019t going to exist under Obamacare.  And he knew it, and his Regime knew it and it\u2019s in the Federal Register. They knew that 93 million Americans were gonna lose their policies, their current plans that they like.  Obama, in 2010 &#8212; I\u2019ve got the sound bite here &#8212; even admitted to people that what\u2019s happening now was gonna happen. He even admitted that people right off the bat were gonna lose their insurance.  He even admitted it.  But that\u2019s just a tip of the iceberg.  There\u2019s nobody that gets to keep their plan.  You don\u2019t have Obamacare if you have that.  You are mandated to have Obamacare.  Obamacare is not your current plan, by definition.  And that illustrates the scope of that lie and why it is out and out fraud. <\/p>\n<p>This is not just a political promise of promising to cut your taxes and then figuring out we don\u2019t have the money for it.  This is over the top, purposeful, willful fraud, because he knew that his legislative plan, his health care reform plan could not work if everybody kept what they had and didn\u2019t change anything.  If there\u2019s no reason to change, then why are we doing Obamacare?  Now more and more doctors are dropping out of this and refusing to play ball.  It is an absolute nightmare.  But, again, all of that plays right into the ultimate objective:  government running everything. <\/p>\n<p>Such a big mess is being created now.  You can\u2019t go to your old doctor. You can\u2019t go to your old insurance company.  They\u2019re not offering anything anymore.  You\u2019ve got one place to go now:  Obama, Democrat Party, government, they are your savior.  That\u2019s the plan, that\u2019s the design, to have you begging them for insurance, not the picture of them forcing it on you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Steve in Newington, Connecticut, as we head back to the phones.
