The Morning Health Care Reform Scare, I mean Spin.

I begin each day by tuning in to Morning Joke, I mean Joe on MSNBC to see what the TeeVee Pundit Head Talking Point of the Day will be before switching over to Washington Journal on C-Span to see what we the peeps are talking about. You would be surprised at the disconnect between the MSM TTPH's and we the peeps. Or maybe not.

The MSM TTPH Talking Point for Tuesday March 30, 2010 is....drum roll please....56% of the American People polled don't like Health Care Reform. Who did they poll? The Tea Baggers? Republicans? I mean, really?

Maybe they polled my mothers next door neighbor. A white, middle aged, divorced, stay at home mother of three, conservative, christian, die heart republican, who doesn't have health insurance because when she and her husband divorced she was no longer eligible to be on his health insurance. Oh, I forget to tell you she also has epilepsy, which means she couldn't buy health insurance because it's one of them there "preexisting conditions".

Over the weekend my mother's neighbor suffered an epileptic seizure and suffered a head injury. She went to one of the Emergency Care Centers for treatment and was told since she didn't have insurance she would need to pay $200.00 up front. She said she didn't have $200.00 but could pay them $50.00 and pay them so much a month. They refused her offer. So what did she do? You guessed it. Proceeded straight to the evil, socialized, government run, Hospital Emergency Room for treatment. And guess who pays for that, but I digress.

Anyway, after she told her story, my mother said, "Now aren't you glad President Obama signed that health care bill?" And she said "No, it won't help me any". My mother said "Well at least this way they can't turn you away because you don't have insurance." And I piped in and said "Now you can purchase health insurance and they can't turn you down because you have epilepsy." And she said, "It's just a government take over of the health care system and they are going to raise our taxes to pay for it." Which let me know, it's not about health care. It's about President Obama. It's about the misinformation and the scare tactics promoted by the republicans and their media enablers.

President Obama is being called a Socialist because he wants people to have access to quality affordable health care.

President Obama is compared to Hitler (who exterminated millions of people) because he wants people to have access to be able to go to the Doctor when they get sick and not be turned away because of an inability to pay.

According to the media/polls, 56% of the American people don't like President Obama. Strike that, 56% of the American people POLLED by the POLLING POLLSTERS don't like President Obama. It's not about health care reform

But what about the 44% of the American people who weren't polled? What about the millions of American who voted for President Obama and elected him President? What are we? Chopped liver? Don't we count? The polling pollsters should tune in to Washington Journal and hear real health care stories from real people. People who like health care reform. People who need health care reform. People who voted for health care reform. People who like President Obama.

President Obama wants to help make this world a better place of everybody. Even the 56% of Americans who don't like health care reform. Strike that, even the 56% of Americans who the MSM TTPH (who have access to quality health care btw) tell us don't like health reform.
