Well, surprise, surprise, surprise (to quote an old TV show):
Health and Human Services Sec. Kathleen Sebelius appeared flummoxed by questioning from Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.) at a hearing on the new health care law Wednesday.
Johnson challenged Sebelius over a number of the Obama administration’s claims about the new health care law, namely that it will reduce the deficit and allow individuals to keep their current healthcare plans.
On several occasions, Sebelius professed to have “no idea” what Johnson was talking about.
I’m sure you believe that she has no clue about things like deficit reduction:
JOHNSON: Right. So, the original estimate for deficit reduction–
SEBELIUS: I’m assuming–
JOHNSON: The original estimate for deficit reduction in the first 10 years was $143 billion, correct?
SEBELIUS: Yes–
JOHNSON: So now we, we’ve reduced that $143 billion by $86 billion – by not getting revenue from the CLASS Act – and now $111 billion because we’ve increased the mandatory costs of the exchanges, correct?
SEBELIUS: I’m assuming the numbers are correct. I’m sorry I don’t have them.
And she doesn’t know what Obama promised:
[JOHNSON:] It’s also true, that President Obama very famously said, ‘if you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor.’ Period. ‘If you like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your healthcare plan.’ Period. No one will take it away, no matter what. Now, we’ve granted quite a few waivers – about 1,200 to 1,700 waivers – on about 4 million Americans, correct?
SEBELIUS: I’ve no idea what waivers you’re talking about or–
And she doesn’t even know about the waivers her own department is issuing!
JOHNSON: Well, those are waivers–
SEBELIUS: On doctors and health plans, is that…I–
JOHNSON: Just waivers from having to implement portions of the healthcare law that probably would have allowed those – or forced those workers – off their employer-sponsored care.
SEBELIUS: Again, I’d be happy to answer these questions, but I have no idea what waivers you’re talking about–
Well, Nancy Pelosi did tell us we had to pass the bill to see what’s in it, so maybe Sebelius hasn’t gotten the word that the bill has been passed yet, so she still doesn’t know what’s in it. That would be in character, if she really has no idea what Rep. Johnson was talking about.
If, on the other hand, she was trying to pull the wool over our eyes, it’s one of the worst attempts I’ve ever seen in my years following politics, and that includes a lot of really sad attempts by lefty trolls online. Not to mention that a pathetic try at deception doesn’t really indicate a higher level of intelligence than her repeated “I have no idea” statements do.
You know, it was only 52 to 48 percent in 2008, with a lot of wind behind their back and no record to run on. These guys may actually not understand America, and think it Chicago writ large.
What is also ‘hidden’ in the ‘bill’? Affirmative action hire doctors.
I think playing spin the bottle, twister and “name that crack addicted affirmative action doctor” all play into this wonderful, fairies and light, retards can be doctors too, ‘mental midgets are us’ and ultimately, “Is that your heart beat or my homies rappin’ in my head?” visit to your Equal Opportunity but more Equal Opportunity than YOU doc sound like a vision of love and lightness as you die on the table.
So what if you die at the hands of an imbecile? It’s all in fairness!
What else is in the bill? Do tell!
I don’t trust the Sea Hag. A large part of ObamaCare is blank for her to fill in herself; therefore, she writes most of the law, although this should have been up to Congress. The Democrat Congress gave Sebelius absolute control of health care. She’s a virtual dictator. She’s dangerous.
The Obama agenda of “fundamental change” has no time for the pointless details of obedience to the rules of law or even commmon decency/sense let alone be expected to understand let alone read a bill before it’s passed.
After all Utopia is just around the corner, we just need to regulate more, restrict peoples freedom more, claim more wealth and power for ourselves, spend and print even more, round up dissenters and send them to gulugs for executions … and we will one day arrive there…
4 more years…
Now you know what we went through for nearly 8 years with this … individual … as governor.
I interviewed her once. I had to check to make sure I had all my fingers and my watch after I shook her hand, and I needed mechanic’s hand cleaner to get the grease off — she’s that slimy.
…Insurance Commissioner in her own state, former head of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners for all the states, and holding her present position — and she still hasn’t done her homework.
Guess she hasn’t read it yet either, just like the dimocrat morons who voted for this bill.
