RUSH: CBS News: ‘President Obama has said in recent weeks that he still supports a government-sponsored health insurance option.\u2019 By the way, Steny Hoyer is out there today saying, ‘Ahhhhh, we may not need to have a public option in there.\u2019 Steny Hoyer. (interruption) I\u2019m sure she knows. It\u2019s all part of the game. Pelosi is out there saying, ‘Oh, we\u2019re definitely going to have a public option.\u2019 Steny Hoyer is number two saying, ‘Oh, we don\u2019t have to have a public option.\u2019 Obama is out there saying ‘he still supports a … ‘public option,\u2019 but he has stopped short of calling it a necessary element … For tens of thousands of his supporters , that is not good enough. More than 70,000 former Obama campaign staffers[i.e., robots], volunteers and donors have signed a petition, spearheaded by the liberal group the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, saying as much. ‘We worked so hard for real change. President Obama, please demand a strong public health insurance option in your speech to Congress. Letting the insurance companies win would not be change we can believe in.”<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s CBS News with a story that, ‘Oh, my gosh, Obama seen in trouble from his left side! Why, his supporters are upset that he\u2019s pulling out the public option. Oh, please don\u2019t do this, President Obama!\u2019 They want to make it look like he\u2019s trapped. He\u2019s not but it looks that way. ”Unless liberals rethink this premise, and fast, Democrats will squander their best chance in a generation to end the scandal of the uninsured, bring health security to every American family and begin the long-term process of getting national health costs under control,\u2019 writes Matt Miller, who worked for former President Bill Clinton.\u2019 This guy says that liberals ought to forget the public option because the public option will doom this thing to defeat. Matt Miller says we got a bigger problem. Get rid of it; it\u2019s going to go down. It\u2019s toast, essentially, if the public option remains in it. <\/p>\n

Folks, if we end up with a government-run health care program, it\u2019s a government-run health care program. If we get a bipartisan bill, if we get a Democrat-only bill, if we get a health care bill that Obama\u2019s going to sign, I guarantee you it\u2019s a government health care bill! If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it\u2019s a duck. You cannot have the government do a health care reform bill and not have the government be involved. The two don\u2019t go together. It\u2019s a government health care bill. (interruption) The cooperatives, yeah, and, ‘How about the exchanges, Rush? The health care cooperatives, the health care exchange.\u2019 It\u2019s just different words. By the way, co-op, commune, all that stuff? Forget it. The trigger? Well, yeah. Now, that\u2019s the latest trick and that comes from Ben Nelson. I don\u2019t know that he knows that he\u2019s actually being used here as a ploy or trick.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re saying, ‘We should have a trigger required before the public option kicks in, and that is only if the private sector fails in doing its job of providing health care for everybody. The public option should be triggered.\u2019 Well, who the hell is going to decide whether the free market fails? A little clue here for you, folks: Obama long ago decided that back in Hawaii. He doesn\u2019t like the free market! That\u2019s why he wants to do this. All of this talk about the public option not being in it? Don\u2019t fall for it. The whole thing is going to be a public option. The whole thing! This is just rhetoric consigned to set up the speech tomorrow night to make everybody think, ‘Oh, Obama is responding to the people.\u2019 No, he\u2019s not. He\u2019s thinking, ‘Okay, how can we trick \u2019em? They don\u2019t want a public option? Fine! I\u2019ll say I don\u2019t care about one.\u2019 <\/p>\n

But anybody with a brain knows that if you have a health care program that the government\u2019s in charge of what the hell do you have? You don\u2019t have the free market running it. This business about the uninsured, let me tell you something about this. I mentioned this once before, maybe twice. We ran the numbers on this. The number of uninsured in this country who are generally uninsured who want to be is 12 million. That\u2019s the closest anybody can come to it. It\u2019s not this mythical figure of 47 million. The 47 million includes illegals, Martians, and any other group of people the Democrats can throw in there to try to evoke a little sympathy. But some people don\u2019t want health insurance and choose not to buy it. They\u2019re young. They\u2019d rather go out and buy a plasma LCD display, whatever. <\/p>\n

Maybe save up for an extra container of McNuggets, whatever. They don\u2019t want health care. So they don\u2019t buy it. Some people work at a place that doesn\u2019t have it. There are 12 million people that want it. Now, do you realize that every year we could insure — for between 25 and $35 billion, we could insure — everybody in this country that\u2019s uninsured. That would accomplish the primary objective. The primary objective is, ‘This country is so unfair! It\u2019s just so cruel that 47 million people are without health care insurance,\u2019 but there aren\u2019t 47 million who don\u2019t get health care. A whole lot of people get health care whether they\u2019re insured or not. It\u2019s called the emergency room. But despite that, $25 billion or $30 billion to insure the 12 million uninsured? You got that money sitting there in the unspent stimulus. Why not just go get it from the unspent stimulus? <\/p>\n

Why do we need a trillion dollars? We need a trillion dollars because Obama wants there to be no personal responsibility to health care, except… Well, he\u2019s not going to know how personal responsibility and lifestyle… You\u2019re going to have that dictated to you, too. That\u2019s what this is all about is trying to get as much power over every aspect of every individual\u2019s life as possible. That\u2019s who the guy is. That\u2019s why the speech to the kids today about personal responsibility was a trick. It\u2019s a scam and it\u2019s a joke. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, let\u2019s look at this speech tomorrow night. Let me use that as a mechanism for explaining this. The president of the United States has called for a joint session of Congress to solve his personal political crisis and to further damage the US economy. It\u2019s all about him. It is all about trying to make his audience tomorrow night think the opposite of what he intends to do. What is the special occasion for Obama\u2019s address to Congress? These are very rare. The special occasion isn\u2019t for a State of the Union address. We have not been attacked. Congress is not counting electoral votes. Now, there are reasons to call Congress together for an address by the president, but why call for an address to a joint session of the Congress regarding radical change in the way Americans receive health care? When Obama has the votes, in theory he\u2019s got the votes in the House and the Senate to pass any legislation he wants and yet he\u2019s calling a joint session essentially of Democrats in Congress to help him save face, is what this is about. This is a display tomorrow night of great weakness and it will be televised for the entire country to see. <\/p>\n

As president, Barack Obama tried to cram a scheme to fast track socialized medicine and ration care through Congress in less than two months and a plan that still would not be implemented for four years. It has been a spectacular political failure. This is the equivalent of the Hindenburg crash and burn. The only difference is there\u2019s no media out there reporting on the crash and burn. That\u2019s the special occasion for calling Congress together for a semi rare joint session. Obama\u2019s failure to muster the votes from his own party to pass a bill that would effectively seize one-sixth of the American economy and allow Washington to control virtually every aspect of our lives from publicly funded abortions to withholding end-of-life care, that\u2019s what this speech is about tomorrow night. The American people collectively have said they like their private insurance. They would like to see free market solutions and improvements to private sector health care. They do not want the kind of third-rate medical care we see in Great Britain. They don\u2019t want any part of it. <\/p>\n

So, again, what is the reason for this unusual call for a presidential address to a joint session of Congress? It\u2019s not to announce his failure. Nope. The purpose is demand that Congress override the wishes of the American people. His speech tomorrow night, regardless how it\u2019s worded, is going to be a plea to the Democrats in the Congress, the House and the Senate, to override the wishes of the American people and to give him, Obama, what he wants so he can save face and have that monument built to himself. He has a personal and political crisis on his hands of his own making. The only real crisis facing this country at this time is economic in nature. Specifically, the private sector has been half destroyed by the president\u2019s own hand. The bills that he has asked for and signed have damaged the private sector\u2019s ability to create new jobs. As a result, millions of Americans are out of work, families are suffering, there\u2019s no hope and change on the horizon, millions of employers are fighting to keep their businesses afloat, and he calls a joint session to get his rear end out of the bacon. It\u2019s all about him. <\/p>\n

He isn\u2019t calling for a joint session of Congress to deal with your pain, to deal with the economy and the lackluster future. He\u2019s not asking the Congress take steps to get out of the way of the private sector, such as tax cuts. The president is calling for a joint session of Congress so that they can pass a debacle of a piece of legislation that will prevent the total collapse of his image to his own party. The unbelievable part of this is that the plans Obama has for our health care system will add to the economic malaise that we are in. His health plan will explode the deficit and create more joblessness and that\u2019s what Obama will be asking Congress to do tomorrow, make the economy even worse. Because the priority is asking Congress to help him save face as a leftist, partisan, radical politician and further damage of American economy, because that\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen. That\u2019s the practical end result. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t care what government program, war on poverty — when you read the legislation of the war on poverty did you see anywhere in that legislation, ‘Oh, and this will destroy poor families, this will destroy the black family,\u2019 did you see it in there? No. Wasn\u2019t in there. When the left tells us, ‘There aren\u2019t any death panels in there, there\u2019s no end of life,\u2019 oh, really? It doesn\u2019t have to say it to be in it. Welfare, the war on poverty, we were supposed to wipe out poverty and all we did was wipe out the black family. But that wasn\u2019t the intent of the legislation, was it? Just like in this health care bill, the words ‘death panel\u2019 may not be in there, but I\u2019ll damn well assure you there\u2019s going to be one. There can be no other way. So you got an economy that\u2019s plundered, you have an economy that is tanking, you have no hope on the horizon for job creation, and this guy is calling a joint session to get his rear end out of the bacon to save his image with his party and to get this health care bill passed so he can build a monument to himself.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, back to the phones, Punta Gorda, Florida. This is Bruce. Thank you for waiting, sir, you\u2019re next. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Over the weekend I was with three of my neighbors and they\u2019re all medical doctors, not PhDs. Their big question seems to be with the 40 million people without health care insurance, regardless of reason, with potential of maybe 30 or 40 million more individuals that have union health care and corporate health care, if they all go over to the government-run program, excuse my French, but where the hell are all the medical doctors going to come from?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, this is a question everybody is asking. If you enroll all of these new people with insurance and you start squeezing the doctors, which is what Obama\u2019s plan is, meaning reduce their reimbursements, where you going to get the doctors?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, they say right now they\u2019re pretty up to their eyeballs with patients and to throw this many patients upon them is going to create havoc in the system and that\u2019s what the program Obama\u2019s pushing is not telling you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, a lot of people have figured this out.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I wish the lay people had because down here in Punta Gorda, Florida, we have a lot of seniors and they really aren\u2019t aware that it might take a heck of a lot longer to see a doctor if they —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute, now. I\u2019m sorry, but who the hell is showing up at these town hall meetings? I think more people than you know are aware of all of the impending disasters that are in this plan, whether it be end-of-life counseling or the death panels or shortage of doctors and so forth, people are well aware that this is not good and they don\u2019t like it. If they don\u2019t know the specific business about doctor shortage, they know enough to make them oppose it. The deal about doctor — again, what\u2019s frustrating is the market will take care of this if you leave it alone.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. That\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But when Medicare and when the government is telling doctors what they\u2019re going to get paid and how often they\u2019re going to get paid, more and more doctors are going to opt out of Medicare.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think they\u2019ll not only opt out of Medicare, the talk down here with my neighbors, three of them that surround my house say that they\u2019re just going to get out of the whole medicine business.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ve heard some doctors say that, too, but —<\/p>\n

CALLER: You don\u2019t believe it?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, no, it\u2019s possible. We\u2019re in a heated, passionate moment, and if you put that much work into something it\u2019s cause you love it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, can a doctor then go on their own and whatever the government system has let that doctor just see some patients on his own or will he be too liable for whatever?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, see, now, that\u2019s an interesting question. Under the House plan, there would be a severe penalty for this. Once you opt out of any federal plan, Medicare or whatever, you can never get back in it. But see, that\u2019s something too, that\u2019s already happened. There already are doctors who have opted out. There are doctors who charge a retainer. They have a clientele of patients that they can handle, they charge a retainer and then you pay whatever it costs for whatever you need, and this is how they\u2019re opting out of the system. But this requires a certain income level to be able to afford to see doctors this way. But the messes that exist in the health care system exist precisely because of the government being involved and forcing solutions that are not market based. And eventually people just say, ‘I can\u2019t live under this, I can\u2019t go being reimbursed 20% of what it costs me to provide treatment, or 50%, and I can\u2019t wait three months for it when they decide to pay me, the patient load here, these people coming in for every little nook and cranny that\u2019s wrong with them and so forth.\u2019 It\u2019s just a mess, and it\u2019s only going to get worse. I don\u2019t doubt these guys being honest with you that they\u2019re that frustrated. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
