They tell you that having healthcare is a human right, but they don’t tell you that under their plans the government gets to decide which treatments you have a right to.
They tell you that abortion is a right under the Constitution, and yet they say that their healthcare plan won’t allow for funding of this "right".
They tell you that the Hyde Amendment will not allow for funding of abortion through the healthcare plan, but they refuse to incorporate the language of the Hyde Amendment into the plan.
They tell you that providing universal healthcare is the Christian thing to do, but they don’t tell you they are great proponents of the separation of church and state.
They tell you that it’s your Christian duty, but they don’t tell you that their plans amount to the destruction of the network of religiously-based healthcare institutions because (see Freedom of Choice Act) will force such hospitals to provide government-mandated services, even if such services are morally unacceptable.
They tell you that there is no sense in either you or them reading the final bill because we wouldn’t understand it anyway. To which I say, “If you can’t understand it, then maybe you should rewrite it.”
Bottom line: Never believe a politician who says, “Trust me.”
