Sebelius: Time for 'Reeducation' on Obama Health Care Law
With a number of polls showing a sustained level of opposition to the Democrats' health care reform efforts more than five months after passage, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the Obama administration has "a lot of reeducation to do" heading into the midterms."Unfortunately, there still is a great deal of confusion about what is in [the reform law] and what isn't," Sebelius told ABC News Radio in an interview Monday. Especially among the morons who signed it unread. "So, we have a lot of reeducation to do," Sebelius said. Yup! Setup those re-education camps. I know where we can get some cheap tents! Pol-Pot only used them for a few years. They don't even leak [much]. As of Monday, one million seniors have received $250 rebate checks to help them fill the "donut hole" in Medicare's prescription drug coverage. Sebelius says by the end of the year, as many as four million Part D participants may get checks. Most of them just before the election in November no doubt. "Once people understand that [the rebate checks are] just one of the new features for Medicare beneficiaries, they become increasingly more enthusiastic," Sebelius told ABC News. Sebelius says she understands the concerns of American seniors. "They're worried about what happens to their benefits in the future, worried about what happens to the overall stability of Medicare." Just wait until the Death Panels are setup. Then we will be seeing some major 'reeducation'! "It does not ease cost pressures but papers over them with unsustainable price controls," [former HHS secretary Mike] Leavitt wrote. Sebelius argues the reforms "strengthen" Medicare, extending its solvency by 12 years through 2029. You see by rationing care we eventually decrease the demand.... "My view is actually supported by independent actuaries, by economists and by the Congressional Budget Office," Sebelius said. Who all bludgeoned the data until it fit the model.
