ObamaCare: An Unmitigated Disaster
The American Thinker ^ | ObamaCare: An Unmitigated Disaster | Janice Shaw Crouse

Posted on 05/01/2010 4:22:29 AM PDT by Scanian

Americans are learning that ObamaCare will pile on insurmountable debt and cause government to encroach on every area of our lives. ObamaCare is, as Yuval Levin said, an "unmitigated disaster -- for our health care system, for our fiscal future, and for any notion of limited government." And the more we learn about the specific provisions, the more we discover that the bill does not reflect our values -- faith, family and freedom -- nor does it strengthen those principles that are the foundation of a great nation.

Each day while Democrats are criss-crossing the country to declare that ObamaCare is not a government takeover of health care, a new government expert releases figures indicating that ObamaCare is going to be outrageously expensive and won't do what the president promised it would. Now they tell us!

Any federal version of health care is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 does not specifically grant Congress the power to regulate health care. The people are not bound by an unconstitutional act. This is the point people need to impress on their Congress critters.

People can join a class action lawsuit against the unconstitutional, socialist Obamacare at www.obamacareclassaction.com

The article concludes by stating,

President Obama and his liberal colleagues on the Hill jettisoned the world’s best health care system for the dubious honor of having achieved “health care reform.”

Now, in addition to figuring out how to pay for the trillion dollar government takeover of health care, we have to untangle the budgetary gimmicks, bureaucratic mess, and disastrous financial crisis that the nation faces as a result.

Gonorrhea Lectim


Information about Gonorrhea Lectim

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called “Gonorrhea Lectim.” It’s pronounced “Gonna re-elect ‘em,” and it is a terrible obamanation.

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008...but now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-2 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.

It’s sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called “Votemout.” You take the first dose in 2010 and the second dose in 2012 and simply don’t engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it.

Several states are already on top of this, like Virginia and New Jersey, and apparently now Massachusetts, with many more seeing the writing on the wall.

Please pass this important message on to all those bright folk you really care about..

I have asked my Congress critters repeatedly why was this necessary when legislation already exists to do much of what is claimed.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides for purchase of insurance across state lines and strict guidelines for maintaining health records confidentiality.

Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009(CHIPRA) provides for, and funds through 2013, health and dental insurance for children up to and through college.

In fact, 0bambiCare contradicts existing law, without repealing the existing law. Which do we obey? If we follow HIPAA, we break 0bambiCare. If we follow 0bambiCare, we break HIPAA.

The response has been .... (crickets).

Apparently, Russia is going in the opposite direction. Public hospitals are being ordered to transition to private hospitals. The Soviet Union was a prime example of the failure of socialized medicine and their people know this.

Putin may be a dictator, but he believes in free markets much more than our detestable president. Putin appears to be acting in his nation’s best interest and it must at least be argued that Putin is a Russian nationalist. Zero is clearly not. Zero is an international Leftist and clearly anti-American. Such a cruel paradox.

In other words BO/BS is more of a communist than Putin.

Right. Putin’s Russia is more akin to the Chicom’s current brand of mixed communism. He knows that a certain healthy amount of capitalism is needed to keep the government coffers full and his military strong.

Zero is an ideological Marxist and communist purist. Zero hates capitalism, hates individual rights, hates prosperity, hates nationalism, and hates the military. He hates America as it has always been and seeks to have our nation pilloried and subjugated by the international Left.

Faith, family and freedom the first three items on Obama’s hate and kill list.
