Short, and to the point

Here are the 10,535 pages of Obama Care condensed to 4 sentences...

As humorous as this sounds... every last word of it is absolutely TRUE!

1. In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to uninsure the insured.

2. Next, we require the newly uninsured to be re-insured.

3. To re-insure the newly uninsured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured.

4. The extra charges are required so that the original insured, who became uninsured, and then became re-insured, can pay enough extra so that the original uninsured can be insured, which will be free of charge to them.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is called redistribution of wealth or by its more common name SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM, FASCISM or other government dictated non-free society reference terms.

    My insurance kept going up and up, then last year around November the Obamacare "features" started to be implemented and it literally doubled my costs and tripled them if you go back 4 years. I have things like "pregnancy/reproductive care", I do not have ovaries and pediatric dental, I don't have kids. Someone is getting a deal but it isn't me.

    I keep thinking that if I had to pay as much for my health care I received pre-Oscamascare that I do when all is said and done post O'scare, I would never have enough money to get up and deal with stuff.

    I am still trying to figure the fuzzy math how paying 3x as much for less coverage and a way higher deductable is somehow saving me money? I think it's somehow related to the same math that says you can give moochers free money and somehow this will help the economy, much as paying farmers NOT to grow crops or producers to stop producing will...

    It was never about health care, it was about cash flow. All health care really needed was a major medical policy to cover catastrophe and allow the individual to decide how best to cover the gap. Cheaper and faster than 0care. But it requires personal responsibility and affords freedom...so we could not allow that.

    We moved 8 million people out of private insurance so they could sign up with obamacare. 1 million people were added to obamacare who previously didn't have insurance. Odds are that they will not keep their insurance even at greatly subsidized rates, they are not programmed to pay for anything, they expect it free. Lost in the duffle is the employer mandate. In my opinion those 8 million people who are now paying at least double for their insurance will vote to end obamacare if the candidate has the guts to say he will repeal it. Had obama not delayed the employer mandate it would be a full scale revolution when millions of people will be affected. It is then that the real hardships of obamacare will be felt throughout the ranks of Americans.

    The health Care Act was so the governemnt could increase its cash flow so it cold spend more. They don't really care for the uninsured. It was sneeky way to take (steal) money from those that work (create) and give it to those that live off the governemnt (destroyers). IF I paid all the money they want to charge for a health plan, (and here is the math part, Obuma) that would add up to $30,000 in 5 years ($500/month x 60 months). My actual medical expenses are about $200 per year. So in 5 years $1000. I can pay their "fine" and still come out ahead. Then when this is finally determined to be as unconstitutional as it is. I can demand a refund for illegaly charged fines.

    Statism by any other name. But certainly not unique. We've had a looter's government for a very long time.

    Keep in mind that "the government" is not making money from this. Insurance companies are.

      pardon me, Dave, but every time the govt handles our
      tax money, they keep a percentage,,, usually large. -- j

        Of course. What I meant was that they are not turning a profit. Though I suppose every government employee who takes home a paycheck and those who receive "gratuities" could be said to be profiting.

          yessir, our govts have continued to grow apace,
          while our heads were turned ... I, for one, was still
          puffed up with pride over winning the cold war, and
          when I turned around, the elected enemy was in D.C. ! -- j

          p.s. I could not say those words when I was
          carrying my Q clearance, for fear of losing it!!!

            sigh.

            At the time I kept shouting that the cold war wasn't over; that we hadn't defeated the communists, because communism isn't a nation but an ideology, and that they would just relocate somewhere else. I even jokingly suggested that somewhere else might be DC.

            But nobody listens to me.

              ummm, well, Hiraghm, I do -- and wonder at the
              same time how my cold war comment was voted
              down. might be the first time that's happened to
              me. interesting feeling -- war is not popular, and
              I have devoted a large part of my life to eradicating
              it -- or so I thought.

              you are right -- the war against communism and
              socialism and fascism and Marxism and altruism
              and cronyism will never be over. constant vigilance.... -- j

    Before Obamacare my insurance was COMPLETELY FREE to me as my employer covered all costs for myself and my family.

    Now I have to pay almost $700 a month out of my pocket.....Not a very good system from my perspective.

      We are as small company, so are under the viewscreen so far, but this is what is staring us in the face. We have always provided our employees with free health coverage - as good a policy as we could find. But when the small companies start running out of exemption time, we will have to pass the difference in cost to our own people.

      Sad, really.

        No disrespect intended, but I'd prefer that employers just pay their employees a bit more and leave it up to the employees to pay for their own healthcare. Less feudal that way.

    You forgot:
    5. The re-insured will pay more to insure the uninsured. As they pay more, they will also get taxed with a Cadillac plan tax at 40 % so we can insure more of the uninsured.

    After reading this and some of the other posts of today--I can well believe we have become knocked completely out of our complacency!!

    That is great and very concise. I think you hit the nail right on the head with your synopsis. It is sad when it takes over 12K pages to express what they really want to do. Sort of like Dodd-Frank and it's 8K or 9K pages and all it does is make it harder for Americans to travel or do business overseas and they can forget about banking overseas also.

      Another concept he has trouble understanding is Freedom of Speech, and that has nothing to do with Math!
      If I remember correctly, it's one of our inalienable rights.

        well, it's #1 in the amendments;;; usually, the
        unalienables come from the declaration -- life,
        liberty and (formerly property) the pursuit of
        happiness. there are, for sure, others -- that's
        why the 1st 10 amendments came along. -- j

          NINTH!
          That's why the NINTH Amendment came along...

          The 9th amendment is like the middle child of the Bill of Rights. everyone forgets it.

            now, Hiraghm, here's the 9th:::

            "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain
            rights, shall not be construed to deny or
            disparage others retained by the people."

            and, I suppose that the people retain freedom
            of speech, because this says that it is retained? -- j

              Nope, I misunderstood what you said.

              I thought you were saying, " that's
              why the 10th amendment came along."

              So I screwed up in my reply.

    I like to call Obummercare the Unaffordable Affordable Health Care Act. Maybe I should come up with something new like Commiecare, which just popped into my head.
    Princess Pelosi's "let's pass this bill so we can read it" has led to me filling out 4 pages of silly forms of the same ole' questions whenever I go see my chiropractor, like that's a big deal.
    You'd think tree huggers would avoid stimulating the growth of paper mills. I recall a paper mill that really stunk just outside Tuscaloosa by a river of the same name. Oh, the impact of those emissions!

      "Let's pass this bill so we can see what's in it." Not what I thought was the quote above at the time. That boo-boo occurred to me while I was in the shower with my random thoughts. . Turned the PC back on and found I could no longer edit.

    Succinct and too the point.
    And now, since the Ferguson incident, the cry goes out to put the Fed in charge of local police to insure lack of prejudice. Must I enumerate all the ways this won't work in addition to losing more freedom (if it isn't completely gone by then).
