The Unaffordable No Care Act, is Just That!

Opinion

Opinion by George McClellan:Remember when Nancy Pelosi said “we have to pass it to see what’s in it? Of course you do. Some Doctor said that was the “definition of a stool sample”. Well, the cat’s finally out of the bag. It is a stool sample. Some fellow named Jonathan Gruber, one of those pointy headed progressive, liberal elites, a professor of economics at MIT actually and one of the authors of the Unaffordable No Care Act, told the world that Obamacare could only be sold to the American people if Americans are duped. In his own words: “You can’t do it political, you just literally cannot do it. Transparent financing and also transparent spending. I mean, this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes the bill dies. Okay? So it’s written to do that.” Continuing his remarks he said: “In terms of risk rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in, you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical to get for the thing to pass. Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.”

So, what is the GOP to do now that this sham of a healthcare scheme is law? First they (GOP) must decide if their recent election victory was just Americans response to Obamacare or are voters actually fed up with Obama’s experiments in progressivism and want to see a wholesale return to American principles? So many examples coming to us daily of in-artful progressive administration clumsiness, criminality and non-transparency, should provide Americans, and our GOP politicians, with enough ammunition to kill the idea that “Progressivism” is an American political philosophy worthy of further test. It has already failed that test and must now be ditched!

Much of the ADA taxing apparatus is already entrenched as part of our health care operating system. Suddenly changing it would be like pulling an impacted tooth. Starving it to death by removing the mandates would be far less painful and as effective. In any event, baring other considerations, Obama would certainly veto a bill to repeal. That veto can be overturned of course, if a few desperate Democrat Senators wanted to remain in their sinecures. As importantly, if all Republicans politicians realized that the tea party base was watching them closely and that their votes to keep the Unaffordable No Care Act, would kill any prospect they had for reelection. Simple enough, but we must stay alert and keep on ‘em.

A pending law suit by the State of Oklahoma on the exchange program portion that the IRS arbitrarily changed to entrap all nonparticipating states into accepting Obamacare, is soon to be before the Supreme Court. A proper reading of the law by the Supremes would put end to Obamacare as well. We can only hope! Chief Judas, John Roberts has already dashed our hopes once. Obamacare is a proven sham. So is the entire Obama administration. It’s time to take it back and restore Americans faith in the government we once enjoyed.

The fight does not begin and end with Obamacare. We must keep reminding our elected officials, especially the new ones, that Americans, whose lives were once protected by the Bill of Rights, are still in mortal danger by the suppressing blanket of thousands of odious, job killing, life altering, unnecessary rules and regulations from un-elected bureaucrats in government agency’s that smother free enterprise, entrepreneurial development of new products and the restoration of America’s economic greatness.

Remember, Freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now go get ‘em! (12 Nov 2014)
