Why Rat Senators Kept Obamacare

Posted on 09/28/2013 5:48:36 AM PDT by Jacquerie

In 2010, the damage Obamacare would do to our society and economy was theoretical. Drafted by undisclosed Leftists, its contents were not known before the world’s most deliberative body passed it on a strictly party-line vote.

Earlier this past week, Senator Ted Cruz eloquently dissected Obamacare. In over twenty hours, and with the help of long dead but esteemed philosophers, he explicated its assault on our most cherished freedoms. He brought their theories home to the present, and itemized the effect Obamacare has had on employment, poverty, business growth, and religious freedom. Throw in the cries for exemptions by all categories of business and labor groups, and there is no doubt Obamacare is a canker on our society, whose cruel effects will grow exponentially.

Like everyone else, rat senators know what Obamacare means. It isn’t theory, it is real.

So, why did rat senators double down in evil, when they knew their constituents, those to whom they are responsible, will be harmed?

Because they also know that the key to total control is through everyone’s health.

DR BEN CARSON ... the freedom of Americans to control their own health care needs is being threatened by massive governmental interference....an attempt to fundamentally change America, to take control of our most important possession: our health.....

We're mad as h*** and we're not gonna take it any more. Get going, Freepers.

TALKING POINTS Obama/crats are attempting to tax, gather data, and otherwise collapse what remains of the private healthcare delivery system. Obamacare is not about healthcare or even insurance coverage, it is about centrally controlling from DC every aspect of your life.

Your doctor will be their informant on how you live, work and eat while their IRS agents will monitor every financial aspect of your life in the guise of keeping you healthy. There will not be one part of your life they will not only know but control through the Unaffordable Healthcare Act. This is a dream come true for the central planners who run the Communist....er, I mean....…Democrat Party and the worst nightmare for your average American.

============================================================

How to middle finger the O/Crats: We know the O/Care ship is listing---
ready to heave--- maybe do a Costa Concordia into the Potomac.

THE BAD NEWS KEEPS COMING Reuters reports the US government on Wednesday scaled back its projections for Obamacare's impact in 2014, saying the law would generate slower healthcare spending growth and provide coverage to only half as many of America's uninsured as anticipated last year.

The biggest factor in the change stems from the U.S. Supreme Court verdict last year allowing each state to decide whether to expand the public Medicaid program for the poor under Obama's healthcare reform law. Republican leaders in nearly half of the nation's 50 states have rejected the expansion.

HHS now expects 11 million uninsured Americans to obtain coverage next year, down from about 22 million projected a year ago, according to the report, which appeared in the journal Health Affairs. (Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...

=====================================================

There's also lawsuits and state problems.

HERE'S HOW THEY'RE STOPPING OBAMACARE A West Virginia nonprofit has turned down a federal grant it received to help residents navigate new health insurance options under the Affordable Care Act after it received an inquiry from Attorney General Patrick Morrisey about how it would protect consumer information. Clarksburg-based West Virginia Parent Training Inc. did not respond to a letter it received from Morrisey directing it to answer 26 questions about the group's personnel and hiring practices, including employee background checks and employee monitoring programs, the Sunday Gazette-Mail (http://bit.ly/17M1QVe) reported. (Excerpt) Read more at sanluisobispo.com ...

YOUR TURN--Contact your state AG---ask him/her to issue a letter of inquiry to groups receiving federal "Navigator" grants. The inquiry should center on questions WRT how the group intends to protect consumer data.

In particular, the questionnaire should ask if the tax-funded "Navigator" program intends to transfer personal/ financial/medical data of the insured to the local/county/national Democrat Party, relevant Unions, banks, investment companies, drug companies, insurance companies. Trial Lawyers' associations and whether "Navigators" have sub rosa contracts with these, and other groups, plan to profit, to provide significant info to enrich databases for pecuniary purposes.

The AG also needs to confirm (1) whether the "navigator" was ever convicted of a felony....... and....(2) whether the "navigator" can be bonded.

Most importantly demand that your AG enforce the requirement that "Navigators" must have a state insurance license (consists of a comprehensive test on all aspects of insurance and compels a background check).

=======================================================

PLANNED PARENTHOOD WILL HAVE ACCESS TO SS#, TAX, MEDICAL INFORMATION
Breitbart Big Government ^ | 8/23/2013 | William Bigelow / FR Posted by markomalley

EXCERPT Planned Parenthood is about to obtain access to your Social Security number, tax form, bank account, and medical records.

With the advent of ObamaCare, consumers buying health insurance through health care exchanges will be required to speak to “navigators.” “Navigators” are supposed to help consumers find the best coverage and ascertain whether they are eligible for a federal subsidy.

Any “navigator” will have access to the federal data hub, which holds information from the Department of Health and Human Services, the IRS, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Defense Department, the Office of Personnel Management, the Veterans Health Administration, and the Peace Corps.

Planned Parenthood received $655,000 from the Obama administration to hire navigators. In Iowa, Planned Parenthood of the Heartland received $214,427; in Montana, Intermountain Planned Parenthood, Inc. got $295,604; and in New Hampshire, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England raked in $145,161.

And there is not much scrutiny over who these “navigators” will be; HHS will not require background checks or fingerprinting, and a previous criminal conviction, even if it was for identity theft , will not trigger a rejection. To make matters worse, the administration has cut the new employees’ training from 30 hours to 20 and reduced screening.

===========================================

OKLAHOMA WINS FIRST OCARE BATTLE: Quoting AG Pruitt--- "Obamacare was meant to be so open-ended that it could mean anything. We are seeing thousands of pages of new rules being written, both by HHS and the IRS. The open-ended interpretation of Obamacare enables this.....if the law doesn't contain a particular provision, no problem. They just make it up as they go along."

"Such is the case that involves the OK lawsuit."

“The court rejected the federal government’s argument that Oklahoma lacked standing to challenge the law, allowing us to proceed with this pivotal case,” “We’re optimistic the court will recognize what states have known for months that the IRS disregarded the law by making the large employer mandate effective in Oklahoma or in any of the 33 other states without a state health care exchange.”

REFERENCE Oklahoma challenged implementation of the Affordable Care Act after the IRS finalized a rule that would allow the federal government to punish “large employers,” including local government, with millions of dollars in tax penalties in states without state health care exchanges, which is not allowed under the health care law.

“Congress provided a choice for Oklahoma and other states in implementation of the health care law, and the IRS is attempting to take that away by rule,” General Pruitt said. “The administration miscalculated how many states would support this law, so now they’re using the IRS to push through provisions that Congress did not pass.”

=================================================

PROTECT YOURSELF---Obamacare is easy pickins for identity thieves. Steps to take to minimize risk of identity theft:

1. Contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 1-800-908-4490

2. Order a tax account transcript from the IRS that verifies basic personal data along with details of your tax return filed, which may come in handy if you are checking to see whether someone else filed a fraudulent return on your behalf

The Federal Trade Commission (link at website) also lists several steps you must take if you have been a victim of identity theft.

Obamacare pulse rate low.....vital signs at dangerous levels.

I used to think people liked good people and didn’t like bad. Now I think most people are bad and feel better when they know others are bad too and most hate and try to destroy good people.

This is most likely the case.

Way too complicated.

In 1965, Congress created a monstrosity when it passed Medicare and Medicaid. They KNEW they were going to have to pay a lot of bills. They did not know, at the time, that the promise to pay bills without limit would create an entire industry.

Congress lost the ability to meet its promise to pay without limit through taxation by 1986. Since then, they have been printing and borrowing money as fast as possible to keep up.

Almost all of them, RAT and GOP, understand that continued spending under a “pay without limit” promise will cause a disaster. The reason so many of them have gone for commiecare is that the commies promise that they have a solution.

Most non-communist Members and Senators, being not too bright, have not a clue about how to avoid the obvious upcoming collapse. AND, they understand that their constituents will NOT be happy with them if they allow disaster while they are in office.

That’s it in a nutshell. They are not bribed, most of them, and they are not blackmailed.

They’re just ordinary mooks who are stuck with Medicare and Medicaid and who are clueless about what to do about it.

Let the cult members of the Obama Youth Brigade pay double and triple for their coverage for the next twenty years to make their idol’s “signature achievement” work. They richly deserve it.

I wonder how much the contracts are going to be worth to the limited number of insurance companies that will be providing health care coverage and how much they and the Leftists paid those politicians to betray us to bring about our enslavement. If people with pitchforks and torches show up at the homes of the traitor senators they shouldn’t be surprised after one of the greatest betrayals of all time to the American people.

I think there are a lot more good people than bad in this world, however there are a lot of naieve and easily led people who are just too stupid, complacent, or downright lazy that live too cushy a lifestyle to give a damn. Once they become homeless or destitute thewheels will start spinning in their but it will be too late.

"Drafted by Leftists"

To be absolutely correct you would have to add the AMA, for profit hospitals, and insurance companies to your list. Then again, maybe those groups are run by leftists. Follow the money, always follow the money.

That is a good theory, one of the better ones out there.

The only way to balance that portion of the budget screwed over by Medicare and somewhat by medicaid is to reduce expenditures by however they can even to the extent of saying to those over say 70: take two asperins and call me next year, if you can.
