Obamacare poster contest: Coming to a hospital near you!; Updated with new entries

By Michelle Malkin • June 8, 2009 09:34 AM

(Update: Round Two is here.)

Okay, Army of Photoshoppers. Scott G. at Ah, Shoot is fighting the government takeover of the health care industry with all of his artistic power — and has issued a challenge for an Obamacare poster contest. He has adapted old WWII art to inform the public of the consequences of Obamacare. (The posters are all in the public domain and you can find a huge collection here. Longtime readers will recall the incredible WWII-inspired Pshops readers sent in to counter the NYTimes’ blabbermouth reporting.) As I’ve said before, this battle must be won not just in the halls of Congress, but on the ground, in the airwaves…and in the culture. There’s work to be done and a fight to be won.

Get to it:

“Doctors already are scarce”

Two things.

1. Malpractice trial lawyers have had a huge impact on practicing doctors.

2. Reduced insurance payments have had a huge impact on practicing doctors.

Any attempt by Obama lgm to control malpractice lawyers?

Any indication that the reimbursement family practice of pcp doctors receive is going up if we socialize medicine?

Answer to both is the same. NO

Obama makes many of the main reasons doctors have left primary care, ob-gyn, hospitalist, etc., positions Obama is already telegraphing he is going to make it WORSE.

You’d think someone would say, “Hey, lets wait to see how some of the other things you are doing work out before we start changing healthcare…” How’s that job creation working, stimulus package, how is the auto industry bail out going?

Any of those areas give any credibility to or confidence in Obama taking on health care?

Again, NO.

Just Great. My husband and I worked our ***** off for decades. Built the family businesss and paid for healthcare out of our own pocket. Now FINALLY we can afford good health insurance for our family and our employees, and whats gonna happen? Obamacare. I feel like we are sliding backward into the abyss.

I am constantly reminded of this Obama quote:

“My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it.” – Barack Obama.

A friend of mine is on California ‘Medi-Cal’, the socialist medical care for the state. She had a mammogram in December and got a letter dated Dec. 24th that said she needed a biopsy.

As of today they still haven’t scheduled one or any further tests. They’re waiting for the people in charge of approving procedures to approve it. More than 5 months later…………….. and hussein wants that for everyone.

Our medical care already is worse than that in other countries.

Yep….that’s why Ted Kennedy, who can afford to get treated anywhere in the world, went to Cuba for his brain cancer treatment, and Elizabeth Edwards went to Colombia for her breast cancer treatment, and Berlusconi, the PM of Italy, stayed home to get his heart problem treated, with an occasional visit next door to France.

Oh, wait….they didn’t. They all opted for crummy American treatment.

lgm – you need Kevorkian…now there’s a doctor for you!

Dr. Tiller would have been even better.

Treatments are rationed.
Again – how, where, why?

That’s easy….the government run VA, medicare,and medicaid.

The insanity continues. 45 million illegal aliens don’t have health insurance. Gee, I wonder why? Could it possibly be because they snuck into our country in the dead of night, then demanded welfare, free food, free education, free healthcare, oh, and you’d better be able to understand what they are saying in Spanish or they will get a free lawyer! 45 million illegals…they have absolutely NO right to be here. They are flaunting our laws and laughing at our efforts to enforce them. Our sovereignty is a big joke.

And Obama flaunts and laughs as he names his dog:

I’ve said this before but, in a few weeks, I will be laying out a big chunk of my own money to fly back to the USA so that the finest doctors on Earth can fix my knee.

Professional athletes make hundreds of millions of Dollars per year. They can afford to pay the salary of any Doctor they wish just to have one available. Do you see these guys packing up and flying to Britain for a check up or surgery? Of course not.

Do Bill Gates or George Soros sneak over to Canada for the superior Medical Care? Of course not. They pay for the finest Doctors on Earth – in the United States.

You NEVER hear of a medivac or air ambulance flight from the US to Europe. They come from Europe all the time. I know this because I was, during the last 20 years, one of the people who cleared them to arrive in the USA.

If they want to have Socialized Meidcine, let’s have a compromise: Instead of mandating it, give people an “open season” of 60 days to make a choice (except any member of Congress, or resident of the White House who votes for it or signs the bill – they are required to join). Those who choose ObamaCare will have it for 5 years. At the end of that time, those who are still alive will be given the option between ObamaCare and Private Insurance. ObamaCare will then become one of those blips in history like Prohibition where everyone says, “Can you imagine we did something that stupid?”

Lgm’s comments are, as usual, asinine and without basis.

And just down right ignorant. He would have to be lead by the hand into hospitals and clinics to see what really goes on before he would get a clue…but he doesn’t want a clue. Truth would burst his Obamabubble of faith in hopeychange.

I was trying to post the following comment but got an error message saying I had posted it already. Is that a bug or are the thought police getting really good?

Don’t worry lgm, the thought police are through with you.

If Obama gets this national health care plan approved,I expect him to appoint Kevorkian as health czar.

A corrected version:

I agree, but overloading them [medical professionals] with a greater patient load [which is what nationalized health care will do] is not the answer; and while I’m at it, the USDA['s program of] educating for important to rural America people [foreign physicians] who completely lack the ability to read Americans [/patients and discern between when there's a legitimate need for prescription drugs and when a client is faking for a chance for some "`scripts"] is no better – there’s a reason why eastern KY is the number one per ca pita abuser of prescription drugs.

Sorry I was previously so unclear, but I’ve been overwhelmed with work and burdened w/ endless allergy-related headaches since the first of spring; the rain makes them ten times worse and seems it’s rained here nearly everyday for a month.

let lgm pardner with a Vet trying to get an appointment at the local VA Hospital/Clinic, then wait for the appointment, wait at the actual appointment, wait in line for what meds they might give them, wait again for the specialty clinic/treatment if needed, they go to that appointment, and back to the pharmacy…he’ll get a minor clue about what obamacare will be but multiplied by 100%….there will more non-vets in the obmacare system than the VA….

I think too many of the comments in this thread denigrate the fine medical work done in Socialized Medicine countries.

Look at what a good job the French Docs did with that international statesman Yassir Arafat. He went in with a “minor problem” (AIDS?) and came out 24 hours later with a toe tag!

I hope LGM doesn’t go for any Socialized Medical work. We will have to find another resident official TROLL for this site.
