Yes, it's pretty crazy for men not to want maternity care on their policies, isn't it?

You're in step #6 of the Obamacare con, Mr. Firth. The final step, which is to get you to walk away without knowing you've been conned. Amarillo Slim said you can shear a sheep many a time but skin him only once. They'll want to shear you again when they start up "debates" on defunding Social Security and Medicare.

Step # 6. The In-And-In

The purpose of the final phase of the con is to make sure the victims do not realize they've been conned.

Obama signed the ACA on March 23, 2010. Immediately the marketing began. The three words we heard the most to describe it were universal, affordable and guaranteed. Of course, the ACA is none of those. But members told us personally that if they told the truth, they wouldn't be re-elected.

Progressive groups started the work of explaining the advantages of the new health law to the public. The few positive aspects of the law were promoted without explaining the big picture. Overall, the ACA is similar to other neoliberal economic policies; it defunds and destroys our public health insurances and further privatizes health care.

The end goal of the ACA con, to make sure people do not realize they have been conned, is ongoing. As we will see below, salespeople, often the same nonprofits who pushed the ACA, are getting big money to sell insurance with Madison Avenue marketing manipulation tactics.

At the same time, leading single-payer advocacy groups fear further marginalization in their communities and so are afraid to tell the truth about Obamacare. The public has been so hoodwinked by the partisan debate between Republicans and Democrats, based on misinformation from both sides, that single-payer advocates are afraid if they tell the truth, their allies, many of whom are Democrats, will push them away. So the truth has few emissaries, while the well-funded deceivers continue the ACA con.
