As if the ABC filibuster for ObamaCare wasn’t enough. The network, at it again, plugged Obama’s universal health insurance on “The View” with a huge assist from the editor of Fortune magazine.
The June 26 episode of program was a special, “Bank on The View: How to get a Job,” and was supposed to highlight what industries were hiring and offer tips to successfully find a job. Yet Joy Behar unabashedly used the show to promote Obama’s overhaul of the healthcare industry, even when it wasn’t the topic.
Andy Serwer, the editor of Fortune magazine, was in the midst of a discussion about the jobs available in the health care industry when Behar interrupted him and pointedly asked, “If Obama can push a healthcare, single-pay or whatever he’s trying to do, through, will that alleviate the problem, do you think?”
What problem Behar is referring to is unclear, since Serwer was speaking of the jobs available. But to Behar it was the perfect time to slide in support for Obama’s plan, even though she is not even sure what it entails.
At first trying to figure out what Behar was referring to he asked, “You mean in the healthcare, trying to figure it out?” And keeping with the ideology that Obama will deliver the nation, Behar replied, “In the whole country really.” Apparently the healthcare overhaul will solve the nation’s economic woes.
“I mean a lot of companies can't afford to pay health insurance to their employees,” she went on, “Doesn't that ease up the money a little bit for these companies?” Serwer seemed to agree: “Well, I think it would. I mean, that is a huge complicated issue. But I'm all for it…I think it’s a total mess. It's a disaster. It's a basket case. Any of you all out there trying to do medical forms, trying to get insurance, it’s insane, it's totally insane. It should be simple and it should work and right now it is not...”

Ok, ObamaCare think of the complexity of the tax codes on steriods.

June 26, 2009 - 15:32 ET by jessieHjessieH I am shure that, sooner or later, the buffoons in washington will pass some sort of huge tax bill they will call cap & trade. After they destroy the country, and after WE have a revolt, and after WE put the Constitution back in it's rightfull place, WE must remember the names of the traitors who helped push this B.S. down our throats, so they can be dealt with acordingly.
Honestly...
June 26, 2009 - 15:46 ET by jdlybrandPutting this crap on "The View" is in essence 'preaching to the choir'. Everybody watching that show is surely stupid enough to believe in Obama's agenda.

Socialized Healthcare Leads To Rationing Treatment & Euthanasia
June 26, 2009 - 16:41 ET by garyganuPresident Obama said that his health-care plan will reduce the overall coat of medical treatment. What he didn't tell you was how that goal will be attained. Obama said that the government will cut inefficiencies and focus on prevention in order to cut costs. While prevention does save some money, it is a small fraction of the savings that death will bring. Denying certain costly procedures to those deemed by bureaucrats as "unlikely to benefit from them", will bring about the lions share of savings in a government run health-care program.
Most people spend most of their health-care dollars in the final years of their life. Imagine how much savings could be achieved if we simply did not treat people who are deemed to be "unlikely to benefit from treatment" when they are elderly. Cost savings could also be achieved by limiting care to those who contributed to their own maladies with unhealthy behavior such as excessive drinking, narcotics abuse, smoking, poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle. Bureaucrats, not families, doctors or patients, will make these tough decisions if the government takes over our nations health-care system.

June 26, 2009 - 20:08 ET by bigtimerThe alphabet networks never learn...they do not want to nor do they care.
Outcome is all that matters....from what I saw today in the House...we may be well on our way to Nationalizing Health Care, and illegal immigrations is next to be crammed down our throats.
I have never seen anything like what is happening at break-neck speed to our country.

If no one watches...
June 26, 2009 - 21:01 ET by sam12663...does it stand a chance? The ratings for the Obama-mercial were dismal. People are starting to realize that this gut is all hot air.
President Obama is nothing more than a lying empty suit; a Hollywood
style special effects smoke and mirrors show that has shown itself to
be a total fraud.
WAKE UP AMERICA! SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION!
