Obama's Big State Of The Union Lie

'Already, the Affordable Care Act is helping to slow the growth of health-care costs," the president claimed Tuesday.

This ranks as one of the biggest State of the Union whoppers ever told.

In fact, not only are health-care costs climbing, but employers are also shifting those costs onto the very "middle-class" families Obama spent much of his speech championing.

Since ObamaCare was enacted, family health-insurance premiums on average have soared $3,000, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

The president promised the law would slash premiums by an average of $2,500 per family.

That means he's broken his word by $5,500. And costs are expected to continue to balloon as the major provision of his law — universal coverage — kicks in next year.

Aetna, for one, expects premiums to shoot up 20% to 50% after some 40 million Americans start to enter the system for the first time in 2014. That does not count the more than 11 million illegal immigrants Obama would make eligible through amnesty.

Studies show personal spending on health care typically doubles after people go on insurance.

ObamaCare already imposes a raft of new mandates on insurance that have added to the cost of coverage, including a ban on lifetime caps, limits on out-of-pocket expenses, and a requirement that family plans cover children until they turn 26.

Obama's Big State Of The Union Lies

'Already, the Affordable Care Act is helping to slow the growth of health-care costs," the president claimed Tuesday.

I count multiple lies in one statement.

1) "The Affordable Care Act" does not and will not create medical affordability. How can it? It inserts a giant bumbling bureaucracy who must be paid, between the doctor and the patient.

2) "The Affordable Care Act" WILL slow AND REVERSE the growth of medical care.

3) "The Affordable Care Act" is a lying name and should be called "The Stealth Socialist Implementation Act." It's not about health care but about government take over of private industry.

4) "The Affordable Care Act" is a lie with it's death panels. "Care" is not putting people to death. Government decides who should die because government thinks care of the elderly or incapacitated in unaffordable.

I don't think they would nod understandingly. They would nod in total and complete agreement, and make it appear we all deserved every minute of torture we got. They might even offer to "off" a few of us, themselves.

What is the old saying? Registration, confiscation, extermination. I think many conservatives are not willing to go quietly into the night, a night from which the Socialists/Communists hope they will not emerge.
