VANITY: When Obamacare is signed into law, what will happen?

With the likelihood of Obamacare passing (thank you, traitor Ben Nelson), it sets the stage for a number of scenarios to occur. Since the majority of Obama's ill-informed minions know they won't be eligible for universal health care until 2013, the flood of folks running to ERs will create a huge problem. Now, perhaps it won't happen. But, the memories of Katrina are permanently etched into my mind. And the 'take what is mine now' mentality is a possible ramification of the bill's passage.

So let me ask you, freepers, what do you see happening to this country as a whole once the bill is signed? As a normally optimistic person, it pains me to say I can't find any good to come of this. In fact, I've put on some tin foil at where this could go (worst case scenario).

Here is the worst case scenario I see:

1. The minute the bill is signed into law, ERs around the country are flooded. Private practices will also have to physically remove those who insist on being treated. Fights and small riots will break out.

2. Obama will have 'no choice' but to force hospitals, etc. to treat those seeking help, and allegedly offer to compensate them immediately.

3. Doctors, nurses, etc. will say screw that and walk away.

4. Within six months, a third of US doctors and nurses will be 'on strike', leading to long lines for treatment, especially in ERs.

5. Because of this 'national emergency', Obama will suspend the Posse Comitatus Act, and have national guard troops in large cities making sure 'peace' prevails.

6.Meanwhile, the states who have passed sovereignty bills will revolt not only against the HC bill, but the unconstitutional seizure of the HC industry, long before the targeted year of 2013.

7.Obama will not have this, and will use the troops already in these states to muscle his intentions. As a result, all elections are put on indefinite hold, and all civil liberties are suspended. FEMA camps are converted into rebel detention facilities.

8.US troops, conflicted by duty, honor and country, and the orders issued by their superiors, will simply walk away. US soldiers are not prepared to fire on American citizens- and will not do so.

9.Choas ensues, with rebellion in the military and at the state level, with armed citizens now forcefully attempting a government overthrow. Masses will flee big cities and head for the heartland.

10.With the US military no longer existing in its historic form, Obama creates a civilian police force of loyalist, who are armed and will confront rebels with force. These loyalist have no problem killing their American brethren.

11.With civil war now engulfing the United States, the world economy has collapsed, and countries like China, Iran and Russia use the crisis to do their own military conquering. China forcefully retakes Taiwan, Russia goes after anyone they can, and Iran starts the bombing of Israel. Without the US, Israel is on its own. Countries like GB, France, etc. won't move a muscle and will stay neutral.

12. With no success as quelling the rebellion at home, Obama will request foreign troops on American soil to 'keep the peace'.

13. I don't even want to think about 13.

I am very curious to see what other freepers think. It is a very scary time for America, and it isn't my intention to foster fear. But I think its a good exercise in strategic scenarios to prepare ourselves for the worst, and then look at ways to possibly prevent the worst from happening.

IMO, there are 59 other traitors, not including zero.

Obamacare? Another New World Order oxymoron. The 2009 version of Reagan's "Scariest Words You Could Ever Hear":
'Hi we're from the government and we're here to help you.'"

Let's quit calling it Obamacare and come with a more descriptive word bite. Something like...

Obamascare

Obamawaste

Obamawreck

Obamaruin

Obamanuke

Obamaraze

The Obamanation of desolation (and put a rap beat on it)

Obamaravage

Obamapulverize

Obamadisintegrate

Obaomba the nation

Obaomba America

Oh, you’re such an optimist.

Oh, you’re such an optimist.

I think it is time for a million man Tar and Feathers party in DC.

1. Constitutionality challenged.

That’s correct. One of the national groups is already planning a suit. Can’t remember which one, off hand. They’ll be looking for an injured client - someone with ‘standing’ to take before a court. It’ll be a long process, but hopefully most of the legislation can be stayed while the courts get into the act.

You missed a huge tool of the Marxist playbook, the control of food. It will be used to subjugate those who show spine.

[ProudFossil]

My doctor has already said the minute it is signed into law he is retiring. He also says that many of his peers will also quit. Since he is over 55 and most of his peers are the same they can afford to.

I do not think it will lead to civil unrest. All it will lead to is looooooooooong lines. The Hope and Change people will not do anything on their own, just sit back and take it.

I wish I could say I have faith in SCOTUS to overturn this, but I don’t.

[Jim W N]

Will Texas (and whoever else) follow through and secede from the union on the grounds that the federal government has broken its limited-government constitutional agreement with the states, freeing the states from a binding contract?

[jessduntno]

"I think it is time for a million man Tar and Feathers party in DC."

April 15th. Go to hand in your Tax payment (or notice of NON payment) to the IRS. Million man march?

Make it FIVE MILLION.

"Can you hear us now?"

[rintense]

That’s a great question. I’m sure those drums will start beating even louder in Texas, esp. since they are one of the states with the sovereignty resolution.

[boycott]

We’re not going to run out of doctors and nurses.

These folks are going to be like a lot of tenured teachers what cannot write a complete sentence.

There is going to be a lot of fat minority women that come from minority colleges that cannot even write their freakin’ names. It’s going to be like government hires. It’s going to be quotas and PC bs. They will have job security like so many of the worthless tenured government employeed union teachers.

Just imagine this wanting to operate on one of your loved ones.

[ebersole]

I don’t believe it will be like the car fiasco or Katrina. Hospitals have been facing their own Katrina for a long time through illegal immigrants and cuts in the socialized medicine programs that CMS provides. People (legal or not) are already entitled to emergency medical care through EMTALA.
I see more of the less obvious occurring such as physicians retiring earlier than planned, more physicians not accepting CMS (including Medicare)to try and free themselves of the government, more insurance companies closing shop, the need to import foreign physicians who are more the willing to accept this universal care crap, more of the highly qualified students not choosing medicine and more of the less qualified choosing medicine, and as this proposed crapola plan progresses...a huge split in health care between the most wealthy and the rest through emergence of private healthcare system (doesn’t take government minions) and a public system (takes government minions)

And hopefully the tax increase needed to fund this disaster will be held off or up while the whole thing is in the court system. Which leads to the next question; if the taxation part is delayed 2 - 4 years for court cases, does that mean the benefit part is delayed even further into the future, or do they start at the same time? Oops, there goes the savings!

[John W]

Me either.

[John Leland 1789]

I got to save this one to see whether you are a prophet . . . and you just might be.
