Uhhhh....the party that was elected in a beyond belief majority to stop them, but instead approves and funds EVERYTHING, exposes NOTHING, and always finds JUST ENOUGH 'pubs to vote with the Pres, every issue?

When I read something like this, I wonder if virtually all Democrats are fully on board with the agenda to collapse the country, and what they plan to do with themselves when health care will be for the rich and influential and the rest will die in waiting lines or third world disease infested wards.

At this point, you can NOT deny that every move the Dems are making in the ObamaCare front is designed to run the costs so damn high that people will DEMAND a single payer system!

That is the whole goal! Always has been, always will be!

When that happens, you will see a shortage of doctors, nurses, hospitals, research, etc... ALL OF THE SHORTAGES THAT ALL OTHER SINGLE PAYER SYSTEMS ARE EXPERIENCING!!! America isn’t immune to these issues - they will come, very quickly, and they will stay FOREVER!

Too bad ‘everyone’ can’t just say ‘no’ and quit unaffordable Obamacare. I have a relative who belongs to a Christian sharing group for health care expenses. The doctors/hospitals really love not having to deal with insurance. He’s getting 40 to 50% off his bills immediately when he tells them he does not have insurance. Of course, he is paying for routine care like doctor’s office visits (50% discount) rather than it falling on insurance. He is saving at least $15,300 ($21,600 - $6,300) a year just in premiums for a family of four and that includes paying an extra $75 a month for higher limits on help with catastrophic coverage. If he was on regular insurance, due to high deductibles, he probably would have had to pay for all his care so far out of pocket anyway, just without the discounts, in addition to the high monthly premiums. With this Christian group, he is exempt from the Obamacare penalty for no insurance.

The Dems are not stupid; they are cunning manipulators. They are committed and know how to get their way.

The GOP on the other hand is stuck on stupid. The party has no convictions and gives everything away.

In the General Election campaign, about July 2016, when this is a reality to millions of Americans, the GOP needs to tie this around Hillary’s neck. How’s this for a campaign slogan? “If you like Obama, you’ll love Hillary.”

By doing this they will create a large class of people with "nothing left to lose" who will be looking to take it out on someone. Those that put this in place had better be looking over their sholders.

“”what they plan to do with themselves when health care will be for the rich and influential and the rest will die in waiting lines or third world disease infested wards.””

I wonder the same thing in regard to everything they are assisting to put in place in this country - not just healthcare. How do they plan to escape what they set in place for the rest of us? Exempt themselves from all regulations? Either that or they’re simply not thinking too clearly about being impacted as much as we lowly peons.

Are they going to fill the positions available when Agenda 21 gets operational? Just kidding - sort of! Maybe they just don’t recognize the fight they have ahead of them...
