Dick Morris: New Campaign Aimed at Young

People Will Defeat Obamacare

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The League of American Voters and Dick Morris have launched GenHope.com, a powerful Web hub for an intensive education campaign to generate public opinion among young voters to defeat Obamacare.

“The key vulnerability in Obama’s healthcare plan is the financial burden it will impose on young people and their families, said Morris, the chief strategist of the League of American Voters. It threatens them with jail if they do not either get high cost health insurance (averaging $15,000 per family in premiums) or pay a fine of 2.5 percent of their income to the government. With friends like these, the young uninsured Americans don’t need enemies.”

The Leagues campaign, billed Generation Hope, is targeted toward the difficult-to-reach voters, ages 18-29, who dont watch cable news or closely follow politics. It blends a traditional paid-media strategy on broadcast television with a new media campaign powered by a cutting-edge Web operation.

Voters under 30 are the strongest supporters of Obamas plan, said Bob Adams, executive director of the League of American Voters. Until they learn Obama imposes heavy fines on them, not to mention taxes on wheelchairs, pacemakers, and even breast-milk pumps for working mothers ? all to pay for his expensive plan. And thats just the tip of the dirty needle.

The under-30 age group gave Barack Obama 66 percent of their vote in the 2008 presidential election, and are the last remaining age demographic group still onboard with the presidents plan.

Seniors originally backed Obamacare, but the League and others launched a national campaign exposing its dangers to the elderly. Almost every national poll today shows seniors strongly oppose Obamacare.

“We believe young voters will wake up to the dangerous reality of Obamacare, just like seniors did,” Adams explained.

The League has strong evidence its outreach to young people will work.

A recent League survey found a collapse in support among young voters when they learned the details of the plan.

Under-30 voters backed the healthcare bill making its way through Congress and supported by President Obama by a margin of 58 percent to 30 percent, according to the survey.

But when the same groups of voters were provided a fair and unbiased description of the plan, support dropped 13 points to a margin of 55 percent to 40 percent When told specific details of the plan ? such as taxes for medical devices, unrealistic cost estimates, rationing for the elderly, and cuts to Medicare ? under-30 voters opposed by a margin of 43 percent to 45 percent ? a nosedive of 30 points.

To complement its Web strategy, the League is also running a series of TV spots targeted at under-30 voters in keys swings states.

The first ad began airing in four states and is a take-off of the famous Mac commercial. The ad also runs on GenHope.com.

This is reality-based politics, not the make-believe fantasy world painted by the White House, Adams said. The game is over when young people learn just how devastating Obamacare will be for their future and families.

The League of American Voters is a Washington-based membership organization and is organized as a 501(c)4 grass-roots lobbying organization.

Here’s the latest shock: Average current health care insurance premiums will likely triple under ObamaCare!

The new data comes from well regarded, state-by-state study conducted for WellPoint, Inc. The most dramatic premium boosts will hit young people. These are the actual individuals that often opt out of insurance plans now.

Reaction from the Obama White House was swift and harsh. Linda Douglass, Obama’s healthcare spokesperson , had the audacity to compare the health insurance firm with tobacco companies. Since the White House refuses to argue the facts, they instead turned to using one of their favorite tactics, which is demonizing any voices of dissent.

The reason for the dramatic insurance premium increases is the result of ObamaCare regulations. First cause is the mandate that insurance companies take any customer. Insurance traditionally is an actuarial business that rates different based on risk factors. This is the reason a driver aged 19 with two speeding tickets pays more for auto insurance than a customer aged 35 with no speeding tickets. Nineteen-year-olds have more accidents! Therefore they pose more risk.

Traditionally, health insurance companies charged customers with risk factors and chronic illness more than young, healthy 19-year-olds. ObamaCare stands the the concept of insurance on its head. Since an insurance company will be forced to sell to any sick patient, the incentive to buy insurance when you are healthy decreases. Why not wait until you are sick; get cancer, diabetes or some other severe illness before you buy? To circumvent this problem, Obama is riddling the program with police-state mandates on healthy, younger citizens. Perverted, negative incentives such as threats of large fines and even prison time will hang over young people’s heads to force them to join and stay enrolled in Obama’s healthcare scheme. Does this sound like America to you?

Democratic leaders in Congress are seeing support slip through their fingers because Americans are learning that they will end up paying more for less-adequate care.The beneficiaries of this plan are still lobbying hard. Big business will likely dump most of their current employee-based plans and pay the less expensive tax. Big unions are facing the reality that they are going to be bankrupted by their generous membership health plans. Many want to dump their responsibilities on the new government option recently revived by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. AARP is salivating at the money they will make selling new, bigger Medicare-gap plans after the current program is gutted!

These powerful lobbies are the driving force for change. Individual family finances will pay the higher costs and see no benefit!

There is still time to kill this wrong-headed plan and replace it with reforms that will truly work. Selling insurance across state lines will increase competition and lower prices. Tort reform that eliminates outrageous judgments in malpractice cases will get lawyers out of medicine; this will result in eliminating billions currently spent in the name of defensive medicine.

Insurance can work, but the costly mandates and regulations, already choking the healthcare system are a big barrier to cutting costs.

Free markets deliver to Americans consumer goods, groceries, veterinary services, and even plastic surgery at affordable prices with little government meddlling. Let the free market price and correct the distortions currently in the health care system.

Government has bankrupted Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Social Security, Medicare and the U. S. Postal Service. Let’s not let the politicians destroy the greatest healthcare delivery system in the world! Bar none!
