Obamacare: Lindsey Graham is exactly what is wrong with the GOP! Posted: 15 Oct 2013 04:59 PM PDT If there is anyone outside of Senator John McCain (R-AZ) who acts like a progressive socialist democrat, it is McCain’s best friend Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Graham mirrors all of John McCains opinions on amnesty for illegal aliens, onerous rules and regulations to support global warming, and worst of all, is willing to give a pass to the Obamination that is Obamacare. He sounds like a democrat every time he opens his mouth – which is with increasing greater frequency as the progressive mainstream media turn him into a useful idiot that appears to illustrate how “extreme” the GOP party conservatives are when they call for the defunding of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that neither protects patients nor is affordable without government subsidies. A form of socialist wealth redistribution and ill-managed healthcare that is likely to degrade healthcare in the United States. Misdirection … Lindsey Graham: Shutdown Distracts From Bad Obamacare Rollout   Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) lamented Sunday that the government shutdown was distracting from a problematic rollout of the health insurance exchanges under President Barack Obama's health care reform law. "What breaks my heart is, for the last 12 days you have had a complete meltdown of the portal called Obamacare; the whole system is just not working," said Graham, speaking on ABC's "This Week." "And we're overshadowing how badly Obamacare has been rolled out." Graham said that while he believes House and Senate Republicans "share a common goal of trying to replace and repeal Obamacare," it was unrealistic to block a measure meant to fund the federal government in an attempt to defund or delay the law. <Source> A Lindsey Graham paradox? Give in, fund the Government and Obamacare, and move on? In essence, capitulate to the democrats and kick the can down the road. Don’t stand with the American people who do not want this abomination when it counts, wait a while and choose another battleground. Doesn’t make sense except to a progressive democrat socialist. It appears that Lindsey Graham is exhorting his Congressional Colleagues to give in and simply fund the entire government and Obamacare. Mindful that the system is not working, not likely to work, and is destroying healthcare for thousands of Americans. Common sense will tell you that you cannot add millions of newly insured patients to the system without a corresponding increase in physicians, facilities, diagnostic equipment, support staff, and more time in the day. Let alone with a system with a shrinking number of healthcare providers.  It is already impacting doctors in Connecticut … Thousands Of Connecticut Doctors Terminated By United Health Care Just prior to the open enrollment of Obamacare, United Health Care informed thousands of doctors in Connecticut treating Medicare Advanced patients that they were terminated by the United Health Care system.  Primary and specialty care doctors received their pink slips telling them that they were no longer part of the Medicare Advanced system offered by United Health Care. Ben Goldstein, a spokesman for United Health Care explained, saying: "With the many changes happening in health care, we are building a network of health care providers that we can collaborate with more closely to have the most positive impact on the quality of care for our members. We are prepared to help our members transition to new providers. Members with questions are encouraged to call the customer service number on the back of their member ID card for more information." “President Obama, Rep. Pelosi and HHS Secretary Sebelius have been telling the American people that they will be able to keep the same doctor as they have now.  However, thousands of Connecticut seniors are suddenly finding themselves in search of new doctors and clinics.  For many, this can be a very traumatic and frightening experience, especially in lieu of all of the changes involved with Obamacare.  Guess we can chalk this up to another Obamacare related lie.

Keep your eyes open and decide for yourself whether Lindsey Graham is a progressive democrat or a legitimate GOP representative. -- steve
