Obamacare: “You think you hate it now, but wait ’til you drive it!”

Like the car salesman in National Lampoon’s Vacation (played by Eugene Levy) said: “You think you hate it now, but wait ’til you drive it!” The same applies to the Affordable Healthcare Act (aka, Obamacare).

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka, Obamacare) may be the worst piece of legislation ever passed by Congress and signed by a President .. and that covers a lot of ground.

Why is it so bad? For one, do you REALLY want government in charge of your healthcare? Other than that, Obamacare distorts the healthcare market enormously. See the American Action Forum for an excellent analysis.

And Obamacare varies quite a bit by state. Socialist Democrat states like New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Rhode Island and Taxachussets will have lower Obamacare premiums on average. All other states, hold on to your wallets! (I am surprised that California didn’t catch a big Obamacare premium break or waiver).

To pay for the elderly, the poor and illegal immigrants, Obamacare requires the healthy and young to foot the tab.

Obamacare premiums will skyrocket for young males. But unless young males want to pay for birth control and other mandated expenditures, they may want to pay a penalty … which is less than the cost of Obamacare premium. That is why President Obama and “navigators” are scouring college campuses to get you to do something that is NOT in your best interest. Like paying for 111,500 abortions per year (even if you are a single 25 year old male).

Of course, young people are faced with higher taxes (Obamacare) and declining median household incomes. My suggestion if you want to eventually buy a home? PAY THE OBAMACARE PENALTY AND DON’T BUY GOVERNMENT INSURANCE! And you will have the FHA to insure mortgages for the slim down payment that you may have accumulated.

But wait! The FHA is crawling to Treasury to plead for $1 billion to $1.5 billion to plug a budget shortfall, according to three people familiar with the agency’s finances. So we may see Congress push the FHA for an increase in the down payment from 3.5% to 7.5%. That will further dampen young people’s home ownership hopes.

But don’t worry, there is a massive tax of married couples too. If they have identical earnings totaling $65,000, which will usually net down to $50,000 or below after all income and payroll taxes, their Obamacare exchange Silver Plan premium next year with the same earnings will be $16,382, or about one-third of what used to be their take-home pay.

But aside from the distortionary effects, IRS can’t account for $67 million from the ACA implementation fund.

And the healthcare exchanges are costing $5.3 billion and 16 million hours to develop.

And Obamacare creates two new entitlements projected to cost nearly $1.8 trillion over the next decade.

And don’t forget that Congress has been waived from entering the Obamacare exchanges. Along with zads of other special interest groups and political cronies.

While millions may get a great deal (like illegal immigrants and half the nation who qualify for Obamacare subsidies ), millions will have to pay a lot of money for their healthcare. It was all about wealth redistribution from the start since simply raising taxes is so unpopular.

So while the FHA tries to help households with thin accumulated capital, Obamacare makes it more difficult for the youth to purchase a home EVEN WITH THE FHA 3.5% down mortgage. Crazy government policies!

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney summarized the elitist position the best: He said “absolutely,” he would sign up for insurance on one of the new Obamacare exchanges — “if I did not have employer-provided health insurance.”

“I would absolutely enroll,” Carney said on Thursday. “It would be more affordable,” he added.

1. Forced forced home inspections by gov’t agents: Under Obamacare, government agents can engage in “home health visits” for those in certain “high-risk” categories. Those categories include:

• Families where mom is not yet 21; • Families where someone is a tobacco user; • Families where children have low student achievement, developmental delays, or disabilities, and • Families with individuals who are serving or formerly served in the armed forces, including such families that have members of the armed forces who have had multiple deployments outside the United States.

2. Government will use “honor system” for Obamacare subsidies. In order to get as many young people addicted to Obamacare, despite its outrageous cost, the government will use the honor system to qualify.

Ordinarily, young males wouldn’t touch Obamacare with a ten foot pole … unless they are bribed by government subsidies into taking it.

3. Obamacare raises the cost of healthcare premiums while lowering benefits. When government takes control of healthcare, rationing is inevitable. Companies are starting to cut benefits to avoid Obamacare taxes.

4. Obamacare did not lower healthcare premiums as promised. In fact, healthcare premiums are skyrocketing. And you probably won’t get to keep you doctor either. But to be fair to President Obama, if he told you what was really going to happen, he wouldn’t have gotten reelected.

5. Obamacare is so complex (and contrived) that it is difficult to put into place. See the American Action Forum for this chart of what remains to be done to destroy what was once the greatest healthcare system in the world.

And as Forbes reports, an unpublished CRS Memo reveals that the Obama Administration has missed half of Obamacare’s legally imposed implementation deadlines.

6. Obamacare penalties for failure to purchase Obamacare are steep. And many people are exempted. Among those exempted include: undocumented immigrants and Native Americans. The uninsured can also file for hardship exemptions.

7. Why overnment should NEVER be allowed near healthcare (or housing finance) in one chart.

8. Obamacare results in spouses losing healthcare effectively raising the cost per household. In addition to punishing young males with skyrocketing Obamacare premiums, Obamcare is punishing spouses as well UPS to drop 15,000 spouses from insurance, cites Obamacare.

The list goes on and on. Suffice it to say that Obamacare is a disaster and gives the government and the IRS unprecedented powers to reduce your property rights and liberties. Not to mention your healthcare.

Instead of the platinum insurance program, let’s be honest and just call it the “Metallic Pea” program.

Again, as Eugene Levy said in Vacation, “You think you hate it now, but wait ’til you drive it!”

MAKE DC LISTEN: TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE CLOTURE ON H.J. RES 59
We must oppose cloture on H. J. Res. 59, so that Harry Reid and Senate Democrats cannot sneak in funding for Obamacare. We need you to call your Senators right now: tell them to oppose cloture on H.J. Res 59 and remind them that a vote for cloture IS a for funding Obamacare.
