Betsy McCaughey to Mark Levin: “[This law] is NOT the Affordable Care Act”
http://therightscoop.com ^ | October 1, 2013 | The Right Scoop

Posted on 10/01/2013 9:02:56 PM PDT by Whenifhow

Betsy McCaughey made a great point tonight in an interview with Mark Levin, noting that the Affordable Care Act that was passed by Congress, signed by Obama and upheld by the Supreme Court is not the same law that Obama is currently imposing on the American people. McCaughey says that with all the changes Obama has made to ACA, it is now nothing more than a ‘distorted little piece of the Affordable Care Act’ and says it doesn’t have the status of law because it’s not what they passed:

MCCAUGHEY: I have the Obama health law right here in front of me and I think about how different what the president’s health reform today is from that law. I hear the Democrats say all the time ‘well it was passed by Congress, it was signed by the president and it was vetted by the Supreme Court.’ But what the president is imposing on us today is not the Affordable Care Act.

LEVIN: Stop! Stop! That is a very important point. Wait a minute, Congress passed, the president signed, the Supreme Court upheld…and your point is since then Obama has changed the law and nobody and nothing has passed on that. Brilliant!

MCCAUGHEY: Oh yes exactly. He has stripped the employer mandate, income verification, caps on out of pocket expenses, over half the statutory deadlines in the law. So now he’s had this very distorted little piece of the Affordable Care Act and he’s tacked new things onto it, 1472 waivers. And how about this new subsidy for members of Congress that he weaseled through without congressional approval. All of this means that this reform doesn’t have the status of law.

Obama has selectively altered the law, lied and cheated to get to where he is.

The first bill that passed is unconstitutional in my mind.
If Obama himself argued that IT IS NOT A TAX, and it passed on that basis, should it not go back through the House and be passed as a Tax after Roberts crapped all over the law?

This isn't the law that was passed by Congress
The Affordible Care (which it isn't) is an bureaucatic interpretation of that legislation

Shall we deem it passed ,as presently constituted ?
or not ??

Obama has changed the law so that it is not the original law as passed, such as special exemptions, delays, regulations that were never part of the law.

I would like to know how did the 29 hour work week come about - was it a regulation or in the original Obamacare law.

Mark Levin takes callers. At around 12 minutes Levin says it is redistribution of wealth - which is the real problem.
It is an anti-American, socialistic, Communistic Scam.

Obama is sticking a fiscal gun to businesses head, that is how.
Now that he got them to flinch he says he won’t pull the trigger for another year.

Who’s the terrorist here?

As the Varsity Flight household has stated for years. This is a clear violation of The Civil Rights Act, violates discrimination laws just for starters. It is also as written clearly DURESS, also violation of civil and criminal law.
