10 states where Obamacare wipes out existing plans
http://www.wnd.com ^ | 9.29.13 | Sarah Hurtubise

(Daily Caller) President Barack Obama famously promised, “If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.” He later got even more specific.

“If you are among the hundreds of millions of Americans who already have health insurance through your job, or Medicare, or Medicaid, or the VA, nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have,” Obama said.

Obama’s phone call to the Iranian talking head is just another distraction to keep Congress from defunding Obamacare.

As usual, the 24/7 Media falls for it hook-line-and-sinker.

On the list of future distractions from defunding Obamacare are meetings with various Heads of State in DC and China.

Obama has found it very easy to advance his narrow ideological agenda of failure-prone Marxism.

4 years after Obama conned his Democrats into passing the Federal takeover of the cash cow of Medical Insurance, the PC, Doormat Republicans are finally timidly suggesting defunding that Federal takeover.

Without the weak, PC, Doormat Republicans Boehner and McConnell being stupidly kept in their respective leadership positions by truly cowardly House and Senate Members, Obama Medical Insurance “Care” Takeover would have been defunded long ago.

The primal yearning of the 47 % who pay no personal Federal Income tax is to belong to a tribe where all of their choices are dictated to them by their arrogant tribal leader.

This a common trait of those who have low self-esteem.

In that sense, Obamanation is truly a cult: low self-esteem people believing everything their cult leader tells them, no questions asked.

Freedom is defined in the dictionary as follows:
1.) Exemption or liberation from slavery or imprisonment.
3.) Liberty of choice or action.

Most of the 47 % riding in the “free” wagon seek out slavery, and lack of personal choice.

They thus feel safe, and secure in the knowledge that “this is as bad as it is going to get.”

Liberty is defined in the dictionary as follows:
1.) The state of being exempt from the domination of others or from restricting circumstances; freedom.
5.) The power of voluntary choice: freedom from necessity.
6.) Individual Liberty: Freedom from restraint in the performance of rights outside of government control.

Most people who are getting a free ride in the wagon where 47 % pay no personal Federal Income Taxes, are terrified of making a voluntary choice.

The 47 % would prefer that they be under government control where the choices are made for him.

All of this societal wussiness has made it very easy for B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, to advance his narrow ideological agenda of European-style, failure-prone, Marxism in spite of PC, Doormat Republican token “opposition.”

BTW, unlike taxes, Federal Obama ‘care’ Insurance charges can be increased EVERY YEAR to whatever % the present and future arrogant leaders of Obamanation wants.

BTW, BTW, the free-loading 47 % will always vote for the Candidate for POTUS approved by Obamanation.
_________________________________

The question to be asked is: “If it is in the Nation’s best interest to shut down the Government, then why are there only TWO Federal Politicians, Obama and Reid, loudly advocating shutting down the US Federal Government?

Obama has MANY reasons to shutdown the Federal Government such as:

1.) A headline grabbing story that will distract attention from the Impeachable scandals of:

Benghazi Massacre Dereliction of Duty by Obama as CIC;
Obamacare Insurance managed by the corrupt IRS;
IRS harassment of political opponents of Obama;
Use of the NSA by Obama to spy on everybody in the USA;
etc, etc.

2.) The use of fear of a shutdown might help to protect defunding and eventual abolishment of Obama’s narrowly focused ideological agenda of an European-style, failure-prone, Marxist, monopoly of the US Medical Insurance Industry.

3.) Spreading fear and blame might also preserve Obama’s power to increase Obamacare Insurance premiums on an annual basis.

*This would be highly advantageous to Obama as the increase in mandatory insurance premiums would not be a tax, as the “unexpected market conditions” would be given as the reason for the increase.

*Also there would be no need to ask for the “Advice and Consent” of Congress, as the IRS would be in complete control of all income and medical records.

4.) The last reason is the most important for Obama, personally: America would at last no longer be a Nation where the Liberty to choose one’s own family destiny could ever exist again.

As for Reid, the best guess I have is that he wants a Government Monopoly of the Medical Insurance Industry. Well, to be fair, Reid calls for a “single payer” system.

My suspician is that multi-millionaire Reid, nearing Federal retirement, owns a lot of stock in some companies that are tied to a “single payer” system.

Maybe the NSA, or the IRS can find out for us?

I’m going to ask my US Senator from TEXAS, The Esteemed Senator John “To Hell with my voters” Cornyn to check on this for me - - - .

Pinging the State Lists
Ping your state lists and ask/ remind people to contact their senators.

Beck is talking about this on the radio today.
The people with these insurers will lose their insurance as of Oct. 1, these people will be forced into the Obamacare exchanges.

They are intentionally crippling the insurance companies. ONE year from now, companies will say it isn’t working, it has to be a single-payer.

List of senators
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3072865/posts?page=3#3

1. California: 58,000
2. Missouri - 13 hospitals including the St. Louis Children’s Hospital — will not be covered
3. Connecticut: Aetna, the third largest insurer in the nation, won’t offer insurance on the Obamacare exchange
4. Maryland: 13,000 individuals
5. South Carolina: 28,000 people
6. New York: Aetna pulled out of New York’s exchange in late August in an effort to keep their plans “financially viable,” said Aetna spokeswoman Cynthia Michener.
7. New Jersey: 1.1 million Aetna customers are at risk in New Jersey
8. Iowa: Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Iowa’s largest health insurer, decided not to offer plans in the Obamacare exchange
9. Wisconsin: Two of the three largest insurers in the state won’t offer plans on the exchange.
10. Georgia: Just five insurers are participating in Georgia’s Obamacare exchange. Medical Mutual of Ohio left

A year from now we’ll be in the campaign for the next Congress, and God willing a year and four months from now, the GOP congressional caucus will (1) have shifted right and (2) be in control of both houses of Congress.

Meaning, if it’s not working, it has to be market-based reforms.

Personally, I like the idea, in the context of a market-based overhaul of health insurance and health care regulation of “keeping” exactly two aspects of Obamacare: the popular “slacker” provision letting under 26’s stay on parents’ coverage, and insurance exchanges. But the latter have to be redefined so they offer as “bronze” coverage not the whatever the SecHSS says they should, but a policy that’s basically a high-deductible catastrophic health insurance policy plus coverage for an annual physical, with no coverage for abortions unless there is a life-of-the-mother indication.

I was just looking at the general Medicare Advantage plans available for 2014 in Arkansas.

One new company showed up on the list.

Six companies from previous years are no longer on the list.

The MA plan I have now will increase its premium by $30 in addition to the mandatory Medicare Part B premium.

Considering the plans my Internist does not accept, I have only about 3 plans available. The new company added for 2014 does not have its website up yet, so information about their plans is not available.

Under-26s should only be allowed to stay on their parents' coverage if they are claimed as dependents on their parents' 1040/W-2/W-4. Makes sense to me.

Further, another aspect I'd be willing to keep is the article in the Act concerning pre-existing conditions. Nonetheless, the whole thing is trash. Cherry picking legislation and saying "well this stuff is good even though the rest of it really isn't" is why we're even in this mess in the first place.

Ironic since the insurance companies are the ones who made this law happen. Hopefully when it bankrupts them we will be able to replace them with honest people who actually love this country more than their pocketbooks. Insurance companies are officially useful idiots.

I said Obamacare would be the death of the Republic. I said the only chance to kill it was to elect Romney. But principled conservatives stayed home and just said “no” to the RINO.

Well, we reap what we sow. I can’t blame people for voting against Romney, but I must say it was the only chance we had to repeal Obamacare and even then it was a longshot.

Kiss your Republic goodbye. We are racing into Socialism.
