you need to be aware that there is going to be in upcoming a significant
television ad campaign funded by the coke brothers group americans for
prosperity
to turn americans against what we know is obon the carol so known as the
affordable care act and
too many people
this with this was it right there was all sorts of opposition there were
hundreds of millions of dollars initially put into fighting the passage
of obama care it past it was appealed all the way up to the supreme court the
supreme court has upheld it for a lot of people that was it
not for the coke brothers let's take a look at wanadoo that uh... presents a
number of of of false ideas false premises
about o'connor here
two years
i think a little begin having seizures
medical care in the recent meant the world to me
now
and paying more attention uh... and ask some questions about obama here
we can pick our own backyard
and i know my family is gonna get the care they need
and one against change for higher premiums and smaller exit
uh... nine really possible some washington
my family's health care
i think we are
deserve some answers
all right so as we know nothing in the actual law prevents people from choosing
their own doctors in the same way
that if you have employer-based for-profit insurance now
you have a list of doctors that are part of your plan and then you have other
doctors better outside of your network and depending on your insurance you
might be partially covered for out of network providers are you might not at
all be covered it will be the same thing so the idea that oaks the civic we
because of obama care you can choose your own doctor
absolutely false
i want to draw your attention to something else which is
critics of the law
spent about four hundred million dollars on television ads criticizing opposing
obama care during the initial period where the law was being
uh... was going through through uh... congress
uh... that is more than five times what supporters of the law spent about
seventy five million dollars let's combined that four hundred and seventy
five million dollars and then
we are now expecting to see
wave
or from the coke brothers like i mentioned many hundreds of millions of
dollars more
think about that let's call it seven hundred uh... seven hundred million
dollars
consider that in comparison to those two hundred and twenty three million dollars
that make up the p_b_s_ subsidy that when that
mit romney during the debate back for of the twenty twelve presidential campaign
said hey we've got to cut big bird i love big bird but we've got to cut it
that is not only insignificant amount of and it's insignificant amount of money
compared to what the government spends on other things
countless times more has been spent on ads protesting the law
that has been up how about the supreme court is perfectly constitutional
this is not
about killing a obama care at this point this is about positioning
republicans to try to take over seats in twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen idly
yeah most likely it is a lot of interesting things going on with this
now
uh... you have to assume that influence from the coke brothers and
other people of the big corporations
had a role to play of course in this extension of um... of obama care when it
comes to uh... employers
work being forced to paper their bodies
healthcare uh...
and who knows maybe a lot of this effort is also to try and quash that before it
happens
in being a year or so but uh... definitely i mean everything can be tied
to getting more of the people you want in office in opposite on both sides
really
