And they\u2019re using misleading figures, so I want to try to explain as clearly as I can exactly what health reform would mean for small business owners like you and the workers you employ. The first thing I want to make clear is that if you are happy with the insurance plan that you have right now, if the costs you\u2019re paying and the benefits you\u2019re getting are what you want them to be, then you can keep offering that same plan. Nobody will make you change it.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019m sorry. It is an out-and-out lie. It is just an out-and-out lie. There have been five health care bills floating around the House and the Senate, and every damn one of them makes it very clear that at the end of the day there won\u2019t be any private health insurance available. It may take five or ten years for all of this stuff to phase in, but they\u2019re going to make the government option at first so cheap that employers are going to off-load. These small business guys, the first thing they\u2019re going to do is off-load your health care to the government. You\u2019re going to be thrown to the public option and Obama is lying through his teeth, he knows it, they know it. I would love to have seen the faces of people in this audience, these are small business people. You may find some liberal Democrats in there but they do understand dollars and cents, and they do understand that when somebody from the government comes along and says, &#8216;Hey, you like what you\u2019re doing now and you don\u2019t want to change it, you\u2019re not going to have to change it and you\u2019re not going to have to spend any more money.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Obama is talking about raising everybody\u2019s taxes, and get this is from The Hill: &#8216;An excise tax on high-priced insurance policies might violate President Obama\u2019s pledge to not raise taxes on the middle class, House Democratic Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) said Wednesday night. &#8216;I do not want to see anything jeopardize the president\u2019s promise not to raise taxes on the middle-class,\u2019 Clyburn told MSNBC. &#8216;And that could very well get us there.\u2019 The House healthcare bill to be unveiled today will not include such a tax, but the Senate bill does. Under the Senate bill, an excise tax on so-called &#8216;Cadillac\u2019 insurance policies would help pay for subsidies and expanded coverage.\u2019 You who afford the best insurance policy, you\u2019re going to pay a tax for being able to afford it, that\u2019s in the Senate bill, and the Senate bill cannot have that provision removed from it and still maintain this fraudulent claim anyway that it\u2019s deficit neutral. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125109.Par.89380.ImageFile_579144b6647d5.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"263\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Let me tell you something, folks. You look at Obamacare cap and tax, if a person doesn\u2019t make low six figures, plan on moving back in with your parents by the time they get through. This Obamacare bill ought to be renamed the Move Back in with Mommy and Daddy Act of 2009, or \u201910, whenever they get it passed. This is not a joke. These bills &#8212; cap and trade, health care &#8212; are going to destroy the housing sector, they are disposable income killers, forget canceling cable and skipping rent and mortgage payments, it will be the only way to make up the difference. We got a new phrase here for today\u2019s under-30 crowd: Moving on Down. It used to be moving on up, we\u2019re moving on down. There\u2019s no tort reform in this bill, save a lot of money. There\u2019s no portability of insurance. There is no letting you buy insurance from other states, no real changes at all in the things that would make sense and lower costs and permit more freedom in all of this. And Obama, this is a great example of he\u2019s in a different world. He is clueless. He doesn\u2019t have any idea what the American people know. He doesn\u2019t get it that more Americans each day understand that they will be forced to a public option. <\/p>\n<p>When he tells these small business guys that if they\u2019re happy with the plan they have right now, and if the costs you\u2019re paying and the benefits you\u2019re getting are what you like, then you can keep offering the same plan, nobody\u2019s going to make you change, it\u2019s just an outright lie, and he doesn\u2019t know or doesn\u2019t care that more and more people understand what a fraud this thing is. I think it was CBS Radio News this morning touting a study that estimates children without health insurance are 60% more likely to die than children with insurance. In other words, children are going to die if we don\u2019t pass health care now. Forget that we\u2019ve passed SCHIP, where we\u2019re insuring children all the way up to age 25. We have SCHIP, the women and children\u2019s health insurance program, they got that passed and in that bill children up to age 25. They are considered a child up to age 25 to qualify for this federal program, and yet there\u2019s a study that estimates that 60% of children without health insurance are more likely to die than children with health insurance. <\/p>\n<p>I tell you, folks, the outright fraud and lying that is going on here is breathtaking. I gotta take a time-out. We\u2019ll do it, we\u2019ll be back and continue. (interruption) Well, no, very simple, Snerdley. I can\u2019t believe you think I haven\u2019t explained this well enough yet. Pelosi is protecting Big Labor. She protects Big Lawyer. No tort reform. She advances her ideology of big government by declaring war on the middle class. That\u2019s what this really is. This is a war against the working people of America, the taxpayers, whatever their income, you are in the crosshairs with all of their agenda, not just health care. Cap and tax, whatever, all of us are in their crosshairs. This is a radical bunch of people. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The plain-out false lie that he told the small business owners this morning in Washington.
