RUSH: Obama yesterday in Washington had a conference call with the National Council of Churches. He tried to refute four ‘lies\u2019 people are telling about his health care plan. So what we did is we found audio to prove that every one of these ‘lies\u2019 is true. I don\u2019t have time to get started with the audio right now but one of the things that he says is… Well, rather than try to summarize this I\u2019m just going to wait \u2019til we have time in the next segment to actually play these things. But he does lament all of these ludicrous ‘lies;\u2019 the divisive, deceptive attacks on his plan; and we are our brother\u2019s keeper and so forth. The first ‘lie\u2019 he tackles is death panels, whether elderly people get to live or die. He said that is just ‘an extraordinary lie,\u2019 and it\u2019s not just the elderly and whether they live or die. It is anybody who\u2019s sick, seriously sick, regardless of age. There can be no other way around this. This is why this man is detached. He\u2019s not even responding to the truthful criticisms in a persuasive way. He\u2019s sticking with his line on this from four or five months ago. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s get into some of these lies, or Obama refuting the lies. We won\u2019t be able to go through all of this but we\u2019ll get a good start here. This was yesterday in Washington, a conference call, the National Council of Churches and here\u2019s part of what he said in his opening remarks.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: We are closer to achieving that reform than we have ever been and that\u2019s why we\u2019re seeing some of the divisive and deceptive attacks. You\u2019ve heard some of them. Uh, ludicrous ideas for, ehh… Let me just give you one example. This notion that somehow we are setting up ‘death panels,\u2019 uh, that would decide whether elderly people get to live or die. That is just an extraordinary lie. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, it doesn\u2019t say ‘death panels\u2019 in there, but he\u2019s going to set up a commission. He wants to take over the control which currently resides in Congress of deciding how much money is spent, Medicare and Medicaid, and on whom. That already exists! He wants to take it over from Congress, have it run out of the executive branch with a commission of people that he\u2019s already talked about setting up making these decisions. So it doesn\u2019t say ‘death panels\u2019 in there but, look, common sense and common sense. You don\u2019t spend health care money on the healthy. You don\u2019t spend any money on the healthy. You spent it on the sick and they\u2019re going to cut back, they have to cut back he even says we gotta get our health care costs down there\u2019s only one way to do that and that\u2019s stop spending as much money on the sick, and it\u2019s just a logical progression to figure out how do you get back money being spent on the sick. But let\u2019s use his own words. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go back to June 24th, the ABC primetime infomercial for Obama. This is the woman who stood up and said, ‘I got a 105-year-old mother. When she was 100, she needed a pacemaker, and a bunch of doctors said, ‘Naw, a hundred is too old. I\u2019m not going to do that.\u2019 She finally found a doctor, a specialist that would do it because this specialist recognized in this 100-year-old woman a spunk, a spirit, and a will to live. So he put the pacemaker in. And this woman shows up and actually asks Obama, the president of the United States: Are you going to allow for considerations being given to the desire to live, the spunk, the spirit of elderly people when it comes to medical procedures?<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I don\u2019t think that we can make judgments based on people\u2019s ‘spirit.\u2019 Uh, that would be, uh, a pretty subjective decision to be making. I think we have to have rules that, uh, say that, uh, we are going to provide good quality care for all people. End-of-life care is one of the most difficult sets of decisions that we\u2019re going to have to make. But understand that those decisions are already being made in one way or another. If they\u2019re not being made under Medicare and Medicaid, they\u2019re being made by private insurers. At least we can let doctors know — and your mom know — that you know what, maybe this isn\u2019t going to help. Maybe you\u2019re better off, uhh, not having the surgery, but, uhh, taking the painkiller.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, how are we supposed to interpret this? ‘Maybe you\u2019re better off not having the surgery. Maybe we can let doctors know…\u2019 We can let doctors know. Who? His commission. The death panel. They sure as hell are not life panels! The death panel. The commission\u2019s going to\u2019 let doctors know, your moms know, you know what, maybe this isn\u2019t going to help maybe you\u2019re better off not having the surgery,\u2019 we say to the 100-year-old mother, grandmother, ‘maybe just take the pain pill.\u2019 What the hell? This is clear as a bell. That\u2019s lie one that he claims is being lied about, and we just refuted it.<\/p>\n

We got more coming up after this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, this next attempt by Obama to say people are lying about his plan is a little tricky here, but I\u2019m going to make the point anyway. Here\u2019s what Obama said on the conference call to the National Council of Churches.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: We\u2019ve heard that this is all designed to provide health insurance to illegal aliens, and that\u2019s not true.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, back on July 22nd at the White House, Obama said&hellip;<\/p>\n

OBAMA: This is not just about the 47 million Americans who don\u2019t have any health insurance at all. Reform\u2019s about every American who has ever feared that they may lose their coverage if they become too sick, or lose their job, or change their job.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, 47 million Americans. We\u2019re not going to insure illegal aliens. Two points, we already do in several states. Do you remember, what was it, Prop 186 out here in California, Brian, was about all the health benefits and school coverage that the illegals were getting and people said, ‘No, we\u2019re not paying for this anymore,\u2019 and the judge said you can\u2019t do it, it\u2019s unconstitutional. We\u2019re already giving health care in some states. But here\u2019s the sticking point. The 47 uninsured figure includes about 12 to 14 million illegal aliens. If you take them out the 47 million drops proportionately and then there are young people who actively choose to not buy it. It\u2019s not that they can\u2019t get it. They just don\u2019t want it. <\/p>\n

So the number of truly uninsured people — we\u2019ve run the numbers on this — uninsured people who want it but don\u2019t have it is 12 million. You can insure 12 million people for one year for $30 billion, and you could take it out of the unspent stimulus money. It\u2019s not even about insuring the uninsured. This is just a smoke screen. But if he\u2019s going to bandy the 47 million uninsured figure around somebody\u2019s gotta tell him that that number includes illegal aliens and that we already do. Hell, we give \u2019em preferential treatment on college tuition admissions, and they get health care in any number of places, especially at the emergency room. Here is another thing that really upsets Obama.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: You\u2019ve heard that this is all going to, uh, to mean government funding of abortion. Not true.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019ve heard, uh, uh. Stuttering on this one quite a bit. It\u2019s all going to mean government funding of abortion, not true. Let\u2019s go back, July 17th, 2007, Obama spoke to Planned Parenthood. During the Q&amp;A, the Planned Parenthood CEO, Bryan Howard, had a question. Now, remember, Planned Parenthood is in the abortion business. Planned Parenthood supports the Obama health care plan or whatever the plan is in the House, they support the overhaul. So here\u2019s the question from Bryan Howard, the CEO of Planned Parenthood which is in the abortion business, ‘You know that rights and access and rights and ability have to go hand in hand and we know that health care reform is an important part of your agenda. Could you talk and give us some specifics about how reproductive health care and women\u2019s health care is going to fit into and be part of primary care for women in your plan, and how Planned Parenthood, as a safety net provider –‘ the safety net means in case you get pregnant, you don\u2019t want to get pregnant, safety net, hey we\u2019ll abort the kid for you. ‘– can you tell us how we are going to be a part of your safety net for women and families across the country?\u2019<\/p>\n

OBAMA: In my mind, uh, reproductive care is essential care. It is basic care. And so it is at the center and at the heart of the plan that I propose. Essentially what we are doing is to say that we\u2019re going to set up a public plan that all persons and all women can access if they don\u2019t have health insurance. It will be a plan that will provide all essential services, including reproductive services.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you go.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: We also will subsidize those who prefer to stay in the private insurance market, except the insurers are going to have to abide by the same rules in terms of providing comprehensive care, including reproductive care.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sorry, Mr. President, we\u2019re not lying. I mean not only is he saying that all persons and all women can access reproductive care. We already cover every other form of reproductive care: prenatal, postnatal, we cover all that. The only thing that can be talked about here is abortion, and when Planned Parenthood\u2019s involved, we know that they\u2019re asking here about abortion, and they\u2019re talking in code lingo. So, Mr. President, it is not a lie that federal tax dollars are going to be used to pay for abortions and not just in the public option. He says here that we will subsidize those who prefer to stay in the private insurance market except the insurers are going to have to abide by the same rules, they\u2019re going to have to provide insurance for abortion as well. He can tell us that we\u2019re lying, but he\u2019s the one who is. And this is what I mean when I say he\u2019s detached. He is just not addressing the realities of this as the realities are being thrown up. We got one more of these to go, and he says you\u2019ve heard that this is a government takeover of health care. That\u2019s not true. Here\u2019s cut 13 where he says, oh, yeah, it is government.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: My commitment is to make sure that we\u2019ve got universal health care for all Americans by the end of my first term as president. I don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There\u2019s going to be potentially some transition process. I can envision a decade out or 15 years out or 20 years out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So he\u2019s God\u2019s partner in life and death, the problem is we can trust God. We cannot trust Obama. He is lying through his teeth about this. You\u2019ve heard the government takeover health care, not true. But he wants single payer. He wants it by the end of his first term and certainly in 15 or 20 years.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, folks, even if abortion and illegal coverage is not actually in the House bill, if it\u2019s not mentioned, the Supreme Court will see to it they get coverage. The Supreme Court\u2019s already ruled that illegal aliens have all citizen rights, and Obama knows this. We have noted before he always hid behind eventual SCOTUS rulings when voting for or against something like infanticide. He always said the Supreme Court will strike it down. He\u2019s doing the same thing here but not admitting it. He fully expects all of this to happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
