Happy Birthday, ObamaCare. Six months old today and raising the cost of medical care, restricting patient options and causing employers to drop workers three years before even being fully implemented.
Take Minnesotan Gail C., who hoped to offset a monthly premium increase by raising her deductible. Instead, her insurer advised that such a change would not comply with ObamaCare provisions. She could make the adjustment but would no longer have guaranteed rates and could face penalties for exercising what used to be her freedom of choice.
When Conservatives for Patients' Rights launched in February 2009, we called for patient-centered, free-market health care reform based on Four Pillars — choice, competition, accountability and personal responsibility. Instead, ObamaCare removes choice from patients and doctors, strangles market competition, provides no accountability from government and relegates personal responsibility — and control — to the ash heap of history.
Worse, it includes purchase mandates forcing individuals to buy health care — and employers to provide it — or face stiff fines.
Citing constitutional and statutory grounds, 43 states have now either joined Florida's lawsuit to oppose ObamaCare, instituted their own legal challenges, filed legislation against coverage mandates or have citizen initiatives in play.

Lord... please let this be repealed or defunded.
Barry’s “backyard” union rent-a-mobs love it! Of course, it won’t affect their healthcare plans.
Aw, come on. Obama already explained this today. He said he hasn’t done a good enough job of explaining Obamacare to the American people.
Of course, explaining that he didn’t do a good enough job explaining all of the benefits of Obamacare doesn’t exactly explain those benefits, does it?
Without a 2/3’s majority in both Houses to override the Veto, get used to Obamacare.
Of course, they knew an override wouldn’t happen when they voted for it.
And 85% of the people who brought it to you will be re-elected this Nov. :D
It takes only a majority vote in either house to defund anything.
I email my douche bag senators (Levin & Stabenow) every single day with the same message “REPEAL HEALTHCARE REFORM NOW”.
Maybe the constant drip-drip like the Chinese Water Torture will weaken them a little. I sort of doubt it, but I don’t want them to think for one second that it has been forgotten.
Obamacare = Domestic Terrorism
