Marathon Pundit: Video: C. Steven Tucker on ObamaCare at the Chicago Tax Day Tea Party

C. Steven Tucker, a Tea Party activist and a multi-state licensed health insurance broker, talked about ObamaCare and 'death panels' at the Chicago Tax Day Tea Party earlier this month.

President Obama's signature achievement, Tucker argued, means inferior health care for our seniors.

"Not only does [Obama] cut $4.95 trillion from Medicare," Tucker said, "but he also reduces the amount that the government pays to doctors who take Medicare to less than what it currently pays doctors who take Medicaid today."

Probably not.

Tucker then added the sad exclamation point. "If you're a doctor in Illinois, have you been paid lately?"

He then explained how dangerous these funding cuts will be for seniors, citing the much higher and worsening death rates after surgery for Medicaid patients--as opposed to those patients who have private insurance.

"Sarah Palin said death panel." Then Tucker asked the crowd. "Can you?"

He paused and then concluded, "Because that's exactly what it is."

During his talk, Tucker cited this Wall Street Journal article: How ObamaCare Guts Medicare.

Oh, doesn't the "Breitbart is Here" T-shirt look great on him?
