Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]

Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

[JustPiper]

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

In the aftermath of the Health Care Reform bill passage, while the Democrats busy themselves characterizing their own constituents as terrorists, they might want to give some thought to the real terrorists out there they have been more or less ignoring for the last year. It might be prudent to do so since a 200 kiloton air burst over Washington would render the subject of health insurance, and Congress itself, moot.

Unbelievable, last night while channel surfing thru the news, I saw an ad on CNN for Lord Matreiya. They are getting ready to foist this creature upon us, he will appear in the air with all sorts of lying wonders. Fortunately the saints will not be deceived.
Notice when you see his imagery things, there is a ball of light,a circle, UN blue,like a certain Kenyan is so fond of, major brain-washing propaganda alert.

Krauthammer’s Take [NRO Staff]

###

On the Democrats’ move to fix problems with Obamacare:

I think the real problem is there is so much in the bill that is delegated to the bureaucrats, to the Department of Health and Human Services, for example.

For example, we don’t know what will be the required basket of coverage that any plan is going to have to have in order to be – quote — “acceptable” to the federal government and thus to [be eligible to] receive a subsidy if you buy it.

That’s going to be determined in the future by the secretary of HHS, and that could be arbitrary.

I mean, if you are a 70-year-old widow, are you going to need drug-abuse rehab coverage? If you are a single male, are you going to need obstetrics? Of course not. But all of this will be decreed by a bureaucrat, unelected. It’s not in the law now, it will be decided. And there is a lot of this which is going to be decided.

And the other example of this, and the one that people are really worried about, is these committees that will decide which is acceptable or the best treatment.

Once you have a committee like that — as of now it’s advisory, but in the future it could easily become compulsory as costs rise, as happened in Britain, which has the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, the NICE committee it’s called, which decides who gets drugs and cancer [treatment].

If it’s expensive, you don’t get it.

And that’s what’s in the bill but not written in detail today. It will all be decided in the future by unelected committees and bureaucrats.

On the White House not allowing coverage of the meetings between President Obama and Israeli prime minister Netanyahu:

They meet for several hours — no press, no pictures, no joint appearances, as if the prime minister of Israel is toxic, as if somehow he represents a pariah state.

It feeds into the perception around the world, particularly in the Arab world and in some elements in Europe, of Israel as a pariah state.

Over what? This example of the Shepherd Hotel: The eastern part of Jerusalem has Jewish neighborhoods, Arab neighborhoods, and mixed neighborhoods. People are purchasing land, selling it all the time.

There are about 200,000 Jews in the eastern area of Jerusalem. Imagine a city in the United States of that size where you have every day construction, permits issued, as a matter of routine. So, of course, there’s going to be an announcement here or there. It’s a breathing, living city.

The idea that there should be no construction or no purchase or selling of houses is absurd. It would mean strangling the Jewish areas in Jerusalem and essentially extinguishing them ultimately.

And this idea that it’s Arab east Jerusalem: It houses the Western Wall and the Jewish Quarter. It’s odd, isn’t it, that you have the Jewish Quarter in what people are calling Arab east Jerusalem? It has been — continually there has been Jewish habitation for over 2,000 years.

And the only reason it was Arab was [that] for 20 years [1948 — 1967] the Jordanian army expelled all the Jews! In ‘67 the Jews returned, and that’s why it’s a mixed area in the eastern side of Jerusalem. It’s Jewish and it’s Arab.

On the allegation that Jerusalem construction announcements were timed by the Israeli government to wreck negotiations with the Palestinians:

It’s absurd. It’s a large city with its own municipal government with its own [commissions] and councils. It’s got construction transactions all over. Israel is incredibly bureaucratic. Every construction requires 20 approvals.

So on any afternoon you are going to have an announcement of some sort. It would happen in any city of that size anywhere in America.

So, to me, it’s the same thing only a little different. (pig, lipstick)

Like how long has it been called Costco and yet I still call it Price Club. Old habits die hard.

I saw an ad on CNN for Lord Matreiya. They are getting ready to foist this creature upon us, he will appear in the air with all sorts of lying wonders. Fortunately the saints will not be deceived.

Economic collapse can cause all kinds of otherwise good people to grab onto anything that looks like it may be a way out. As tough as things are the one thing I don't fear is death. If things get so bad that we are all expected to blindly follow some guy who preaches anything other than "Christ Crucified" I know where I stand.

I think most people don't understand how bad our economic situation is. Just look at Greece, we are just 3-5 yrs behind them. Social Security has started dramatic draw down (more going out then coming in), Medicare is bankrupt, taxes are going up with unemployment over 10% and the govt is running 1.5 Trillion dollar deficits for the next 10 years!

Hallelujah!!

Remember when Obama said he wanted a “national security force”? Not the national guard, but a civilian one that has not sworn to uphold the Constitution? On July 2, 2008 in a speech in Colorado Springs, Barack Obama called for a police state. WATCH this CHILLING VIDEO proposal!

Obama Just Got His Private Army

On same page-Remember that first alarming glimpse of what that army might look like? Notice how much these “Hitler youth” type young men talk about health care!

Chilling.

Mama found this before it’s been reported, it’s being picked up Friends, keep it going! American Daughter expounded it in all it’s GORY detials!

Obama just got his private army…

…And no one seems to have noticed. It is buried in the Senate revisions to the health care bill.

No nO No this is not a private military army by any means...they are armed with medicine...though I know many are creating hysteria about it..and he could move it toward that. But it isn’t nor intended as a private army. Notice even in the post the number of times Health and nursing is mentioned. It’s to send out in emergency arenas.
