Obamacare - A Plan of Action!

Instead of a petition to repeal Obamacare, I think we should circulate a petition under which citizens pledge that if and when Obamacare is enacted, they will drop all their health insurance coverage.

This would have the folloing effect:

It puts the insurance companies on notice that Obamacare will bankrupt them.

It puts the government on notice that they will suddenly be responsible for massive health care costs

Its accelerates the inevitable, because eventually anyone with sense would choose not be have coverate, because the penalty is cheaper, and you don't have to worry about pre-existing conditions affecting your cost.

Knowing that half the country will be dropping insurnace coverage upon enactment would put tremendous pressure on the legislature to repeal this NOW.

What do you think?

Civil disobedience is likely the best action. The Republicans will NOT do sh*t. If they had any guts at all they would have called the fraud out on his ineligibility long ago.

I don’t think you need to hint that you are dropping....you may be forced into dropping them without any encouragement. For November of this year when the 2013 rates come out, I’m expecting a ten-percent rise in my health-care insurance rates (as a minimum). Mind you....I haven’t use any this year at all...my current rate is $132 and my organization pays around $380 (every two weeks). For November of 2013, and the 2014 rates....I think it’ll be closer to twelve percent on the rise.

Then you toss in the fact that a number of small and medium capital companies will be evaluating their position, and just determine somewhere in the 2013 period that they will end health insurance options, and just pay you $1000 to $2000 to take care of yourself. Your only option is this exchange deal that your state might create, and the various corruption factors that will erupt out of that (don’t even think about a decent deal in California).

Finally, there are continual rumors now of Walgreens and Wal-Mart inventing some massive cheapo health insurance package out of thin air, that would pass the wording of the ObamaCare law, but beat most everyone else’s package by fifty percent. I imagine you’d have to buy the drugs via them and it’d all be Chinese-driven drugs and doctors in this whole whole mess.

To me, your suggestion is like rushing into the lion’s jaws. Single Payer (Total governement control) is the Liberals’s ultimate goal. Crushing the insurance companies will expedite that goal.

...and just pay you $1000 to $2000 to take care of yourself.

And that, of course, will be taxed as income.

And, if you only see a 10-12% increase per year for the next few years, consider yourself lucky. My rates have already doubled since SoetoroCare was passed and I know other folks have been hit even harder.

“What do you think?”

Once reall Americans all decide that patriotism is pouring sand into the gears of the Federal Machine.....the whole DC nonsense grinds to a halt pretty quickly.
