It was bound to happen sooner or later. Con men are preying on Americans fearful of ObamaCare. “In Illinois, a telemarketer recently sold an elderly woman a fraudulent health insurance plan,” says the New York Times, “that supposedly protected her against ‘death panels,’ the state insurance director says.” Unlike Obama, Pelosi and Reid, at least the insurance salesman gave the Illinois woman a choice. In reality, the woman’s best insurance plan is to vote out the politicians who voted to create the death panels, replacing them with Tea Party sympathizers dedicated to repealing Obama, Pelosi and Reid’s abomination.
The health insurance phonies (of the non-governmental verity) “promise affordable compliance with the new law. The fraudsters often impersonate…government workers.” And, when you think about it, just how hard can that be? After all, like the advocates of ObamaCare, the con men offer something of no value.
“If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” Michael T. McRaith, director of the Illinois Department of Insurance, told the Times.
McRaith gives sound advice. Regretful voters wish they had followed it before electing a president who promised to transform America at no cost in cash or freedom. Now the Obama media is concerned their con man is getting a little competition from people of low character – not associated with their man’s administration, that is.
