Email address to snitch on your friends if they disagree with Obama or you think they are giving false information.

I don't like it, report me.

Obama has sent up a email address to snitch on people.

Lets all email them and give them the biggest line of bull they ever saw:twisted:

It's just the white house wanting to know what misinformation is circulating the web; it has nothing to do with "snitching on your friends".-Sun_Tzu-

You need to pick up a copy of the U.S. Constitution and read it.

Lol this is a terrible Idea, they're just doing it so they can try and change the public view on a bill that obviously isn't very effective for America.

Thats not what it seems like though. They are taking what people are saying, analyzing it and using it to push out a sort of counter arguement they can use to convince the American people that this will work.

It's just for pointing out misinformation that circulates on the web. It's actually somewhat necessary considering that HMOs are notorious spreading false information whenever health care reform comes up. For example, there's good reason to believe that HMOs are the ones organizing and funding all those protests that have been taking place as of late.

Also, libel and slander aren't protected speech so what the administration is doing is perfectly legal.

1- Whats there reasoning for doing this, if they aren't convincing people otherwise.

2-Why are they taking peoples Emails? Why can't they find this stuff on their own, it'd be fairly easy.

Thats basically what I've been saying the whole time. They are trying to change views on a bill that very few people think would be good, instead of changing the bill to something that people think would be good. Its rather sad.

Apparently the white house isn't smart enough to understand the objections to their health care plan, even though a simple search on google could probably produce thousands of articles, so they need the flock to keep them in touch with reality. So if nothing else they are clueless, at worst dangerous.

[QUOTE="magnax1"]

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] They are trying to build up support for health care reform. One way of building up support for health care reform is by refuting false information. And again, politicians do this all the time. This is a common practice.-Sun_Tzu-

Not so much. Its because it makes health care worse for most people. If they just gave coverage to people who can't afford it nobody would care, but they are basically going to turn it into a euro style healthcare system.

There is the misinformation. I know its not exactly like it, but its is tax payer paid for everyone. Also Euros don't have better healthcare. They have more people who have it, but the people who do have it have worse.

Not true. The White House in fact MUST keep a record of everything that goes in and out, including letters and emails -who sent them, what they said, etc. It is saved and archived, acording to law.

The care people recieve in Europe is not quality care compared to American health care for the average person. We pay for some of the people who cant afford healthcare, soon we will be paying for half of america because they'd rather get it free than pay for it, and then Health Insurance prices will sky rocket, and we will be paying for 90% of people.

Never heard of this one before, sounds like a terrible idea. I can only image what would have happened if Bush did something like this: people would have been calling for his head :lol:

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] In the system we have in place now, the tax payer already pays for other peoples health care.

Doesn't take a crystal ball to realize that just about every program the government creates doesnt produce the intended results and costs way more than they said it would, for that you only need to open a history book. I imagine it's hard to pay attention with your head buried in the sand.

European health care is not much if any cheaper.

Edit: and why american health care is slightly more expensive is because the revenue is used on reasearch.

We are paying significantly more and have worse health statistics. -Sun_Tzu-
