ObamaCare’s four biggest lies
NY Post ^ | 1/5/2104 | Michael Garland

Posted on 01/06/2014 3:31:46 AM PST by tobyhill

President Obama’s famous vow — “If you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan. Period.” — isn’t the only broken promise of ObamaCare.

Now that the Affordable Care Act has actually been in effect for a week, Americans are discovering more pitfalls associated with the massive overhaul.

Lie #1: “Affordable” Care. Even the president’s ideological allies — like Michael Moore — acknowledge that the Affordable Care Act is far from inexpensive for most Americans and that it “risks being a cruel joke.”

For average Americans, the results are prohibitively expensive. “The cheapest plan available to a 60-year-old couple making $65,000 a year in Hartford, Conn., will cost $11,800 in annual premiums,” according to Moore’s math, as published in a New York Times editorial. “If both become seriously ill, they might have to pay almost $25,000 in a single year.”

All these articles keep pounding on the monthly premium which, of course, must be paid to receive coverage. But few of the articles mention the even more onerous deductible. It also must be paid to receive coverage. There are exceptions to this rule. But the deductibles are ridiculous.

For sure we can hope. I am not betting the farm on it, however. Don't forget, the Obama propaganda machine, (the mainstream media) will double down to rescue his legacy.

While this is related to #2 its slightly different,
that Obamacare personal mandate will keep hospital ERs from getting stuck with the bill(as they did before), because its like auto-liability insurance requirements.

The high deductibles in the exchange policies make a joke of that claim.

Lie #5:

Approximately 2.8 million Americans have signed up for new health-care plans since the Affordable Care Act went into effect on Jan. 1.

2.8 milliion? No way!

Its all possible they signed up but how many have actually paid for it or received anything back telling them they have obamacare. I think not one quarter of them actually have insurance and out of them how many will not renew when it comes due?

"Affordable" Care is the biggest lie.

Democrats tailored this scam to benefit their most trusted supporters.

And who are democrats most trusted supporters? Who are Obamacare's winners - and why?

First, there's blacks with AIDs or/or the HIV virus. AIDS is a preexisting condition caused by intravenous drug use, promiscuity, and gay sex - and spread to the unwitting partners of people with these habits. Blacks have the highest percentage of any ethnic group infected with HIV. Obamacare helps them.

Obamacare is 'affordable' for inner-city blacks - check out 'navigators' helping fellow blacks to lie about things like smoking, income etc... Obamacare was designed for them.

Obamacare helps another powerful dem group - gays. Gays are helped with overcoming 'preexisting conditions' caused by HIV and a lifestyle that generally creates a higher need for medical care...

Next is White Liberal Elites.

White liberal elites have been frustrated by having to share the best doctors with members of the middle class. Obamacare puts a stop to that outrage...

Obamacare creates a two tired medical system that slowly will disenfranchise middle class families from quality care. Elites will benefit from concierge medicine. Middle class riff raff will be banned from exclusive practices that cater to the well to do. The middle class will eventually be put on the same level as medicaid recipients... they'll have 'care' but from doctors most people wouldn't take their dogs to...

Last but not least, union goons benefit because they've been given exemptions.

And who was hurt by Obamacare? Everyone who's NOT a member of a dem victim group....
