The Insiders: Democrats are trying to suppress the confusion and hide the cost of ObamaCare
WaPo ^ | 7-1-2013 | Ed Rogers

Posted on 07/02/2013 5:55:09 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

I don’t know if Members of Congress will be hearing about it in town hall gatherings and other meetings back home over the Fourth of July recess, but the rolling thunder of the approaching ObamaCare train can be heard in the distance. Smart Democrats are beginning to get frantic about the need to suppress the confusion and hide the cost of ObamaCare between now and the 2014 midterm elections. We are just three months away from the October 1st enrollment start date and so far, nothing about the ObamaCare implementation process should be politically encouraging for Democrats. In fact, the more people learn about ObamaCare, the more frightened they become.

Right now, small businesses across America are making the final determinations on how to reduce the working hours of their employees so fewer employees qualify for the mandated, employer-provided health insurance. Employers are also deciding whether it makes more economic sense to pay a fine to the government or pay for healthcare benefits for their employees. What this means is that hundreds of thousands – and perhaps even millions – of Americans will learn that they are being dismissed from their employer’s healthcare coverage.

Too late. ObamaCare is now the law of the land, thanks to the single vote from CJ Roberts.

And let's not play word games, ObamaCare is nothing about providing affordable healthcare to the citizens, it is the official act to enslave wholesale citizens to The States.

Also just check out HOW MANY and exactly WHO are exempt from the law. When more people realize how much they are beholden to the 'preferred class', this won't end well in this country.

National Health Care existed before this law, the indigent fell under Medicare/Medicaid and illegals also would receive care in hospitals. It was imperfect but the costs were born overall by the public and govt. and everyone got care.

ACA is nothing more than a govt. grab of the money flowing through a successful system along with enabling the govt to control every bit of health info on its subjects alongside every bit of financial info.

Gullible Americans love free candy. The Pubs wanted this little less than the Dems. For all the focus on Obama the govt stranglehold has been increasing for decades. Do gooders are constantly screaming for new laws and someone to do something about their pet grievances.

And in many cases, people will be facing increased health insurance costs, particularly if they are young and healthy. The negative effects on personal income and the overall economy will be undeniable.

Yet this same Washington Post has been denying exactly that for the last three years.

And yet they think some slick Madison Avenue ads will pull their bacon out of the fire.

And as gullible as the American People have proven to be, perhaps they’re right.

And yet, the right does nothing in the form of attack ads that show the American people how much this is going to cost. I heard a news report yesterday that if you are healthy your premium will triple and if you are sickly your premium will double. The ONE said that the cost would go down, so where are the attack ads. The silence from the right on this is sickening. Not sure why they are not on every talk show saying “we told you so” every week - regardless of the topic of distraction, err I mean discussion.

If Democrats weren’t such despicable human beings with their god-awful power issues and rat pack mentality, they might could see the catastrophic ruin obamacare has in store for us all, but they are, and they don’t.

Well, conservatives should attend all of these “town hall meetings”, and - for lack of a better term - raise hell. Catch them away from their Washington bubble of media protection and let them finally hear FROM THE PEOPLE.

Make it a “filibuster” by the grass roots! The time to be shy, is over. Liberals aren’t shy, their big mouths have got us into this wretched state of affairs, and groveling and sniveling is not the way out.

Go by the dime store and buy a dozen nerf balls...every time the official starts mealy-mouthing, shout, “Here’s your balls!”, and collectively hammer him/her with the nerfs.

To save our country, we’ve got to speak up, stand up...otherwise it will be sit Dow, and Shutup.

I’ve never understood how the waivers are not an equal protection/enforcement violation

Nancy Pelosi is as happy as a pig in slop.

She should be she is rich. She doesn’t need health care, she can afford to hire the best.

But she sure jammed it up our butts.

“Too late. ObamaCare is now the law of the land, thanks to the single vote from CJ Roberts.”

I don’t blame Roberts. I blame Bart Stupak.

I absolutely agree. If it’s a “TAX” for purchasing/not purchasing Obamacare, then everyone should be subjected to the same “TAX”
