They’re still pulling the wool over some eyes, friends. So let’s call them out yet again. I was recently interviewed on Fox News Sunday. One question I answered was prefaced with the supposed “fact” that “30 million MORE people will be covered by Obamacare.” That statistic is about as credible a promise as “if you like your health care plan you can keep your health care plan.”
Obamacare is presently hitting people who buy insurance on the individual market because they may not receive health coverage through their employers. It’s hurting millions! But you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. Just wait until the Obamacare employer mandate kicks in next year. As I told Fox News Sunday, despite what the White House and media report, tens of millions more Americans are set to lose their employer provided insurance plans. The ramifications of this WILL fundamentally transform America.
The article linked today at the top of Drudge confirms my point, which is significant because my point was mocked until this article confirmed it. Headline: “Almost 80 million with employer health care plans could have coverage canceled, experts predict.”
Companies that provide health insurance plans that aren’t compliant with new burdensome Obamacare mandates will obviously decide it’s cheaper to dump employees into the government-run Obamacare exchanges and pay the penalty than try to provide an expensive Obamacare-approved plan.
No one in America will be left unscathed by Obamacare. Please trust me on this. The media can repeat all the bogus White House stats they want about false claims like the individual mandate “only affects 5% of the public,” but they can’t change reality – NUMBERS DON’T LIE – and America is about to get “mugged by reality” very soon, to paraphrase Irving Kristol.
Far from providing more Americans with insurance, Obamacare is ironically hurting the very people it was sold to as some kind of health care savior. More people will choose to pay the IRS penalty and go without insurance because they can’t afford the increased rates slamming them, plus they now have fewer options in this one-size-fits-all expensive bureaucratic exchange which forces people to buy coverage for things they don’t want nor need. We’re talking about one-sixth more of our economy controlled now by big government, remember.
Do not forget that Obamacare contains health care rationing. When I warned America about “death panels,” I was denounced as a liar. But now the reality of “death panels” is openly admitted, even touted by some liberals as their solution. Just yesterday yet another prominent liberal media lapdog joined the chorus in finally admitting that death panel-style rationing is “built into the plan. It’s not like a guess or like a judgment. That’s going to be part of how costs are controlled." This guy and his ilk need to apologize to all of you, NOW, who knew what I was talking about, repeated my warnings, and were mocked and criticized for it. (Don’t hold your breath.)
The truth is the “enlightened ones” knew all along that rationing was in the plan. They were angry with me for saying it out loud. The twin pillars of Obamacare have always been redistribution and rationing. Take away one of those pillars and the whole thing crumbles. That’s why Obamacare is doomed. You were smart enough to know that, while they were arrogant enough to keep up a deceitful ruse until their White House control was guaranteed. They’re busted now, though. And that’s why they’re scrambling to distract you and hope you won’t realize how enormously important upcoming elections are to save our economy.
The redistribution aspect will be Obamacare’s undoing. Not enough young or healthy people will apply for Obamacare because it’s simply unaffordable. It makes NO economic sense for them to voluntarily sign up. They’ll choose to pay the IRS fine instead. This will bankrupt the whole Ponzi scheme, which is premised on young and healthy people paying for those who are sick or have pre-existing conditions. And when Obamacare fails, the left will push to have us move to full socialized medicine under a so-called “single payer plan.” This is exactly what Barack Obama touted as a candidate, as did many of his bureaucratic appointees, but the media glossed over that all these years.
Friends, the only way to fix Obamacare is to scrap this stuffed turkey and start over with genuine free market, patient-centered reforms that allow people to purchase insurance across state lines, enact tort reform, and give individual insurance buyers the same breaks we give employer provided insurance. And we need to elect leaders who will fight for us to get it done.
Keep all of this in mind this week as we break for Thanksgiving. Be warned the White House is arming leftist supporters with “talking points” to try to convince family and friends around the Thanksgiving table that Obamacare is the greatest thing since sliced pumpkin bread. You should politely let them know you’re not swallowing that turkey.
Thank you for doing your own homework, for trusting the truth I’ve expressed, and for refusing to let the “enlightened ones” keep America in the dark.

Here’s the article linked at the top of Drudge today:

There should be a massive publicity campaign regarding the thousands and thousands of individual cases of Stage IV Cancer patients who, in their daily attempt to be positive, focused, and courageous in battling their disease, now have felt the heavy-handed knock-out punch in the stomach dealt to them by each Democrat who, in mass, in 2010, derided and voted AGAINST the Republican bill which anticipated and would have prevented the policy cancellations which now have spoiled those patients' Thanksgiving and Christmas Season joys with family and friends!
The Democrats' deceit and 3-year knowledge of the individual pain and suffering which was going to come to those patients should haunt those Democrat legislators as long as they live!!
Every Democrat running for office should be confronted daily, wherever they go, with facts about real human beings who are being sucker punched daily by their "follow-the-leader" mentality in voting for Obamacare and in refusing to acknowledge the rules which have now doomed their fellow citizens to a tougher fight this Holiday Season.
yes she does! :) Some of us believed and agreed with her the first time around.;)
Everyone with an insurance policy will eventually be hurt.
But there is no mention of what it will do to business large and small.
For every extra dollar that goes into Obamacare and Obamacare taxes, that is a dollar less to be spent on groceries, clothing, gasoline, a dollar less to be spent at a business, and we are talking millions.
You think business is bad now?? Wait until all that disposable income is eaten up by Obamacare. People should start throwing rocks at democrats.
“Yes, and if some so-called “progressive” member of the family brings up Obama’s Thanksgiving table talking points, then they should...”
be told to leave and escorted to the door.
I’ve been saying, these sheep in this idiocracy will need to feel real pain before they will wake up. Many will never wake up.
I really think 1/3 of this country is permanently brain-dead.
The governor has now distinguished herself as CORRECT on the death panels. While Boehner cut and ran like the french from defunding this madness, this great AMERICAN told us they would kill us if we were over 50. The NEW YORK TIMES HALPREN today admitted she was right. Expunge rinos. No mercy now. PALIN FOR PRESIDENT!!!. No pale pastels!! We need a 10 million AMERICAN demonstration in Washington soon. They won’t be able to withstand that pressure.
Weren’t Generals Washington, Grant and Eisenhower pretty much drafted into the presidency by acclimation? Can we do that again in the 21st Century?
Sarah Palin-The Cassandra of our time.
Sadly, that is not a good thing.
When the Ignorant Masses Bread is literally taken from their mouths then maybe they will understand.
be told to leave and escorted to the door.
Oh Damn! Mesta I should have used that on my Ping.
I am sure I will get another shot though :)
Unlike Cassandra she has a mix of good and bad news.
We have a choice about taking the good news, which is the gospel.
The bad news will come whether or not we wish it.
:) You are just too good!
Oh heck. I did the same. I’m so sorry about this.
I’ll have mine deleted right now.
I love Sarah's Third Party Quote.
I don't mean to do that at all.
That media lapdog was none other than Mark Halperin, who ridiculed Palin during the 2008 elections and mocked her "death panel" claims.
It was Halperin yesterday who confirmed that death panels were a reality and expressed his surprise at learning of their existence.
He now (along with numerous others in the liberal lamestream media) owes Sara Palin an apology.
The Need to know!
Maybe I should start pinging them regularly?
