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.

“Romans 8:28 NIV
28.And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

‘According to some manuscripts they state “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God” “Or works together with those who love him to bring about what is good—with those who ... .”

Trust in the LORD.

Major slash in disability — 61% of SSI?

BigSkyFreeper posted on another thread that 61% of the SSI check was slashed due to 0-care. This might affect all disability recipients.

SSI is the largest check that disability recipients receive. It will hurt like heck.

[thouworm]

I cannot find where BigSkyFreeper said this. Do you have a link?

BigSkyFreeper did say this:

On top of that, $500 billion was cut from Medicare (Baucus called it a “Medicare savings”), and 2 million seniors will be completely cutoff from Medicare Part D (the prescription drug program) in 2011.

No Social Security COLA Increase in 2010....or in 2011

And SloopJohnB posted this interesting analysis on the same thread:

[BigSkyFreeper]

The $500 billion Medicare cuts were in the health care bill. Republicans brought it up on Capitol Hill, and Democrats accused them of “fearmongering” and scaring seniors.

SSI slashed 61%:

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Yeah, B0 is doing a “grate” job.

[thouworm]

thanks for link;

BigSkyFreeper: In reference to your SSI payments being cut 61%, do you have any sources or links that this has happened to all or many SSI recipients?

That is quite a blow. I’m sorry you have been targeted as one of the first recipients of “wealth distribution” from our GRIFTER-in-chief.

[BigSkyFreeper]

All I have to go on is a letter from my local SSA office here in Montana. The letter didn’t go into specifics, but I’m not sure if it just affected all recipients or targeted a few nationwide.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

B0 is a backstabbing SOB.

We might have lost the vote, but we won the debate. It’s just mop-up now.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Thank you, Piper. God bless you, Caww, combat_boots, and so many others who helped research this monstrosity. It’s an albotros around the DNC’s neck, and it’s a sandcastle that will be washed away — thanks to patriots like you.
