CSI ObamaCare: Affordable Care Act To Have Own Police
Investors.com ^ | August 23, 2013 | Editorial

Posted on 08/23/2013 4:17:21 PM PDT by jazusamo

Police State: The administration is building a detective squad that will target consumers and companies that don't follow ObamaCare's rules. The game of "good cop, bad cop" has arrived in American health care.

It was bad enough to know that an Internal Revenue Service that targets the political opponents of the Obama administration between partying on the taxpayer dime would be in charge of monitoring compliance with ObamaCare's individual mandate via our tax returns.

Now, the Daily Mail, which lodged a Freedom of Information Act with Health and Human Services, reports that the agency has hired a bevy of criminal investigators as we continue to learn what is in the Orwellian-named Affordable Care Act.

Never did we imagine that buying insurance and going to the doctor or providing coverage to employees would come under the full-time purview of federal criminal investigators.

On the day in 2010 that President Obama signed the bill into law, HHS got authority from the Office of Personnel Management to make as many as 1,814 new hires under an emergency "Direct Hiring Authority" order.

The agency was authorized to hire 50 criminal investigators to ensure compliance with mandatory provisions and regulations. But as is typical with an administration with no respect for the Constitution and the law, HHS unilaterally upped that number to 86.

Of course these investigators won't be digging into the Obama administration's lack of compliance with its own law. A president doesn't have the legal authority to decide what parts of the law he wants to obey; the Constitution does not grant him that authority.

But that's exactly what Obama is doing with Obama-Care.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

ObamaCare doesn’t increase the supply of doctors, but it makes up for that deficiency by supplying more police.

I’m wondering if I’d actually be better off in jail.

The ones I tried to inform about obamacare were not interested in learning. So I said hell with them. They will learn for themselves soon enough.

This is part of the ready reserve which many thought was “nothing” at the time - turns out to be “something”.

It was always about control.

Communism can not survive without a severely repressive government. It is unnatural and against human nature and instincts.

0bama is following in the footsteps of his idols.
