Here are a few items regarding
Obamacare. The first deals with the British government run health care
system so many have held up as a model for us to follow.
1. Ask yourself if this is what
you want for America. If so, then Obamacare is for you. If not, then
getting rid of Obamacare should be our collective priority. I cannot
understand why anyone believes Obamacare will solve the problem of some
15-20 million Americans being uninsured (the supposed reason it is being
implemented) by forcing, subject to penalty, everyone (310 million)
into a system akin to the one in Britain. Recent analysis points out
that after implementation upwards of 30-40 million Americans will not
have health insurance coverage
and those with coverage will see their premiums increase. So, tell me
again how Obamacare solves the problem of those without insurance and
explain to me how government run health care is a good thing for those
of us with insurance. http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/danieljmitchell/2013/06/30/josef-stalin-would-have-admired-the-uks-governmentrun-healthcare-system-n1630856/page/full
2. Oops! Hollywood who was a
big supporter of Obamacare has now discovered that it is not such a good
deal after all. Accounting will be a nightmare and payroll management
even worse. They may well end up taking some, if not all, their
operations overseas to less bureaucratic and more business friendly
environs because of the increased cost imposed by Obamacare. http://hotair.com/archives/2013/06/27/hollywood-hey-this-obamacare-thing-is-going-to-be-pretty-costly-and-complicated-for-us/
3. Another oops! Hospitals
providing services to Medicaid patients are getting punched in the
stomach by Obamacare. Many may well exit the program. Good for those
needing Medicaid service, don't you think? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-06-29/hospitals-may-leave-medicare-s-most-ambitious-payment-experiment.html
4. Yet another oops! You may
have already seen this one but it is worth a rerun. It seems that when
our elected officials, you know the guys and gals who didn't read the
bill before they voted for it, are now upset. Because they didn't read
it they did not know that Obamacare applied to them and their staffs as
well as those of us who just average Americans. Imagine that! Now that
they understand that harsh reality they are not happy. You will get a
sense of their elitist view of themselves relative to us mere citizens
when reading the below link. Anyway, one legislator's quote drives home
the point: "A lot of the staff stays on largely because of the benefit
levels and particularly if you’ve got people with families and it’s
extraordinarily important to them … it’s just not right.” You see, in
their view it is simply not right to mess with the benefits they and
their staffs get courtesy of taxpayers who they feel free to tax to
death. To them it is just simply not right that they and their staffs
have to comply with all the laws they pass. As the article notes
lawmakers have made it a priority to fix this "problem" with the
legislation. But, don't expect to hear about it once the dirty deed
is done. That is the way the system works. http://www.politico.com/story/2013/06/obamacare-lawmakers-health-insurance-92691.html
5. And now there is this. The
IRS is charged with ensuring Obamacare compliance. Think about that.
This is the same organization now under multiple investigations for both
illegal and unethical improprieties as well as inappropriate use of
taxpayer funds. And this is not the first time they have run afoul of
the law, ethics or decency. Given its nefarious history nor will it be
the last. So, if you feel comfortable with government run health care,
then having the less than honorable IRS legally or illegally or
both snooping into your affairs and making sure you are obeying the
law will be just fine. If this does not sit well with you, however,
then give your elected officials hell until this monstrosity is
eliminated from the face of the earth and the government stops meddling
in our personal health care affairs. http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/05/irs_deficiencies_and_health_care.html
By the way, there is nothing, absolutely nothing in the Constitution that grants the government the authority to interfere in any way with our personal medical affairs. If there is any doubt to this claim then study up on the original intent of the "general welfare" clause - the basis progressives use to justify Obamacare. You will be supprised to learn that the modern day liberal/progressive interpretation of that clause has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with what the much wiser Founders intended. I am not a lawyer but I do know that laws/contracts/conveniences, etc. are "always" suppose to be interpreted in the context of the language used, definition of terms and culture prevailing at the time in which laws, the Constitution in this case, were written. And that is something progressive law makers and judges have chosen not to do for at least the past 100 years.
