Republicans criticize ABC News for Obama health-care "infomercial"

This broadcast by ABC crosses the line. Those of you that can’t understand that ABC needs to be an independent news agency and NOT a propaganda arm of the Obama administration have doomed this country. You are victims of a very bad public education system and you don’t understand the importance of an independent press in the cause of freedom.
What I can stress at this point is that if think what ABC is planning is wring let them know http://abc.go.com/site/contactus.html?lid=ABCCOMGlobalFooter&lpos=CONTACT
and contact the White House at (202) 456-1111.
This is not a benign event. This is another turning point in our nation’s history. Will the US remain a represenetive republic or a socialist state? Its up to you.

Of the “45.7 million” who don’t have health insurance: 12 million are covered under SCHIP and/or medicaid; 7 million are illegal; 7 million are single adults under 35 who make more than 40k a year and choose not to have insurance and another 10 million are non resident aliens.
Under federal law, everyone has the right to emergency treatment, which is widely defined. Do the math, a government option will force an estimated 120 million who now have employee insurance to be dropped. Others will have their insurance taxed and small businesses will be forced to provide insurance. This number is from a census question that asked who did not have health care at SOME point in the year, so the number itself is in question as a percentage of those people now do have insurance.
Medicaid, medicare and veterans health all show us how great government run health options are.
Wake up, people. This plan fosters entitlement & will cost another trillion $ we don’t have.

Jane I am sorry to tell you this but not all of us who don’t have health insurance think its someone else’s job to give it to us. I don’t have it either but I don’t want government to take from others to give to me and my family. It is MY responsibility to take care of MY family through MY hard work. Sure I could be lazy and expect someone else to do it for me but what would happen to our country if all of a sudden the 250 + million who do have insurance suddenly dropped it to let the government handle it all? What happened to JFK’s quote..” ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country”. What I can do is take care of myself and mine.

Any questions?

If you are outraged, boycott ABC sponsors

The problem with ABC’s advocating of this proposal is that ABC, who uses public broadcasting airwaves, is essentially failing to do its job. There is no objective view, no fullness of information. Rather, this is pure advocacy on MY DIME!!
While I believe that ABC should broadcast more about exactly how Pres. Obama’s healthcare proposals would work, they should also allow for the plans detractors to weigh in. Otherwise, it turns into a one-sided propaganda piece from an entity that is supposed to merely report news – not advocate one position over another.
The fact that ABC is quickly becoming the moutpiece of Pres. Obama’s Whitehouse is terrifying. How are we supposed to be informed if all we hear is one side of the argument?!
