Obamacare Overhead Study a Trojan Horse

During the past few days the legacy media and the internet have been flooded with news articles, editorials and blog posts with titles like “Overhead costs exploding under ObamaCare.” This all-too-predictable phenomenon has been breathlessly reported by outlets as different in their ideological perspectives as the Wall Street Journal and the Daily Kos. Sadly, when liberal and conservative publications are equally enthusiastic about breaking a story, it usually means the latter have been duped into promoting progressive propaganda. This case is no exception. The basis for these reports is a “study” produced by a couple of notorious lefty data diddlers.

The con artists in question are Doctors David Himmelstein and Steffie Woolhandler, and their “analysis” can be found at the Health Affairs blog. This pair co-founded Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), whose mission is to get the U.S. on a single-payer health care system, and their research is uniformly biased against the free market. The purpose of their Health Affairs post is to pitch a single-payer program based on the Medicare model as a replacement for Obamacare when it finally collapses: The overhead angle is just a Trojan horse used to sneak their statist infomercial into the editorial offices of conservative news outlets.

I said from day one this is not about healthcare but about sneaking communism in through the back door. They raise the rates until they are so high practically nobody can afford it while they raise the “fines” exponentially, which is exactly what they are doing. We went from a $90 fine to a $350 in practically a year and that number will rise into the 4 digits, 5 digits then the 6 digits and then surprise surprise, it will be announced the IRS will start garnishing wages, taking property, basically taking everything you own and there you have it: Communism 101. Collectivism, redistribution, all those lovely things. This Obamacare is so ridiculously unconstitutional it boggles the mind, but hey...it’s not like we have a constitution anymore anyway thanks to the RINO party that sat idly by while the treason party destroyed it.

the NET effect of obumblercare will be to further wreck the economy, reduce the quality and avaiability of healthcare IN WHAT WAS THE WORLD’S BENCHMARK for SUPERIOR HEALTHCARE until the libtards politicized it... AND when libtards/commies politicize something it is NOT TO BENEFIT ANYONE, although they present all thier bogus programs as such, IT IS TO ACCRUE AND CONCENTRATE POWER AND ELIMINATE PERSONAL FREEDOM...
think of the TRILLIONS wasted on social engineering resulting in a greater percentage in povertyand ignorance that at the start of the “great society”... think of 60 million babies murdered allegedy for vagina rights while the libtards leave the borders unsecured costing the country hundreds of billions allegedly welcoming refugees from corrupt criminal governments that libtards have been sending billions to in aid that never reached the PEOPLE, and now they are flocking here..ILLEGALLY..
Libtards can not follow rules or laws and can not run or improve society. TAX AND SPEND IS THE MANTRA AS IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. the TPP WILL PUT THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN AND THERE WILL BE A WRECKED ECONOMY
