60
Plus Association lying through its dentures about Affordable Health
Care, Senator Brown and Medicare.
Oh
man, did you know there was a wing nut counterpart to AARP? Sure is.
Been around since 1992 according to their website. These are not your
touchy-feely seniors having fun on the golf course or senior sex
behind the club house.
These
are mean old fart crazy uncles and aunts, who hate the world as it is changing around them.
The group's national spokesperson is none other than Pat Boone singer
and former movie star, who shot to fame recording covers of “race
music” as R&B was called back in the day.
This
commercial, attacking US Senator Brown lies about Medicare, about the
health care law and about Senator Brown. Here is the script:
“Hi friend, I’m Pat Boone. Last
year, a lot of promises were made regarding health care reform, but
America’s seniors knew forcing a bill through Congress when
Americans overwhelmingly opposed it would be disastrous. And we
were right.
NARRATOR:
President Obama’s health care law cuts $500 billion from Medicare and creates a board of 15 unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats. It’s like a Medicare IRS with the power to cut Medicare in order to pay for new government programs.

PAT BOONE:
This IPAB board can ration care and deny certain Medicare treatments so Washington can fund more wasteful spending. Your choices could be limited and you may not be able to keep your own doctor. Medicare will be bankrupt in nine years, but Washington politicians, like Sherrod Brown, are ignoring the problem, putting their own re-elections first. Call Senator Brown. Urge him to support real Medicare reform and protect our seniors. Tell him unaccountable bureaucrats should never have the power to deny you the care you deserve.”

These
old fogies are agitated about the IPAB, or the Independent Payment
Advisory Board, created by the Affordable Health Care Act. This
board, to be made up of doctors, nurses and medical people appointed
by the President and confirmed by Congress...that's law... put in
place...IN CASE Medicare costs get out of control in the future.
The
only thing that the IPAB CAN DO IS TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS...IF AND
ONLY IF MEDICARE GROWS TOO FAST....It has absolutely no authority to
change anything...It can't change anything by law.
Congress
still has to do the work, period.
By
law, the IPAB Cannot Ration Care, Increase Taxes, Change Benefits Or
Eligibility, Or Increase Premiums And Cost-Sharing Requirements.
Bottom
line....No bureaucrats in your exam room standing over your doctor.
No $500 billion coming out of the Medicare budget......that is
unless the GOP/teabag party gets it way and takes control of the
government...
Once
again, this is just a baseless, totally undisguised attack on
Senator Sherrod Brown.
The
only truism coming out of Pat Boone's mouth....is his
name....everything else is a lie meant to bring down America by
causing strife among Americans.
There
is no unity...no patriotism...no compassion nor concern for fellow
man...
This
commercial is the embodiment of what the GOP/Teabag organizations are
about...lies...lies and more lies in order to turn back the country
to what it once was....a place where most of us aren't welcome...even
though we were born here..
This
ad should be taken off the air immediately with a swift
apology to Senator Brown.
