McCains view on the PPACA

Thank you for contacting me with your views on the health reform legislation passed by Congress in 2010.

Three years after its passage, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) remains one of the most controversial bills ever considered in Congress. While I support improving our health care delivery system to bring down costs and increase access to affordable health insurance, and have put forth several detailed proposals, the PPACA is not the answer. As written, this legislation would lead to higher health care costs, increased taxes, trillions of dollars in new federal spending, $715 billion in cuts to Medicare, and more expensive health insurance.

Despite the President’s repeated claims to the contrary, the new unsustainable entitlement created by PPACA will add to the deficit, undermine America’s global leadership in health care innovation and quality of care, and put the federal government in charge of writing the health insurance policies that individuals and employers are mandated to purchase.

I believe we need to repeal the new health care law and replace it with common sense reforms that will drive down the cost of care while improving accessibility to affordable health insurance coverage.

This can be achieved by increasing choice and competition by allowing individuals to purchase insurance policies across state lines, enacting medical malpractice reform, focusing on prevention and incentivizing wellness programs, and establishing affordable coverage mechanisms for individuals with high-risk and preexisting conditions.

I oppose the PPACA. I always have and I always will. I have done, and will continue to do, everything I can to see that it is repealed and replaced. Which is why on September 27, 2013, I voted to invoke cloture and end debate on the House-passed H. J. Res. 59, the Continuing Resolution for Fiscal Year 2014 (C.R.), which would defund PPACA. On that same day, I voted against Reid Amendment #1974 that removed the PPACA provisions from the C.R. Because of the passage of this amendment, I voted against final passage of the C.R. Ultimately, H. J. Res. 59 passed in the Senate, 54-44. While I will continue to work to prevent the implementation of PPACA, I do not believe a government shutdown is the proper course of action because it risks disrupting key government functions on which millions of Americans rely.

The fact is that the votes do not exist in the Senate to defund the PPACA at this time, nor the 67 votes needed to overcome a Presidential veto, which is a certainty. The fight against the PPCA is one I’ve fought for years. I’ll take seat second to no one in my efforts to oppose that law but pursuing a tactic that would trigger a government shutdown is unacceptable.

I will continue my efforts to replace the unsustainable health reform law that was forced through Congress with reforms based on competition and freedom rather than the expansion of the federal bureaucracy.

Thank you again for writing to me. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other comments or questions.

It is easy to recognize the obvious PONZI SCHEME called Obamacare.

Obamacare has nothing to do with health, care, or medicine.

Obamacare has EVERYTHING to do with insurance.

Obamacare is a Federal Insurance Monopoly.

Obamacare is in violation of US Anti-Trust Laws.

Obamacare is a Federal Insurance Premium Collection Agency, aka FIPCA for Obamacare.

We CONSERVATIVES know that there will be other future Federal Insurance Ponzi Schemes, right down to the Insurance Premium collected for the inhaling of the EPA ruled toxic gas CO2.

Then FIPCA will be there to collect that CO2 Insurance premium from all citizens.

But I digress, so let us focus on the present.

If Boehner Caves In to the Court of Public Opinion, which is run by the Low Information Liberal “Mainstream” Media, and Obamacare is funded, Obama can then raise every year or quarter his Obamacare insurance premiums as high as he wants to, and the sorry US Congress can’t do anything about it.

Congress will thus be bypassed, and will no longer be needed in the future to fund the vote buying schemes of the social engineering POTUS.

Could Boehner be stupid enough to come up with his own Boehnercare Ponzi Scheme?

Compliance with Obamacare violates Doctor Patient Confidentiality.

Obamacare is in violation of the Doctors Hippocratic Oath as follows:

” - - - All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal. - - - “

Another line of legal reasoning involves comparing Obamacare to all the do’s and don’ts the Federal Government has put into Law about our “privacy rights” such as HIPPA, questions that future employers can and cannot ask at one’s job interview, etc.

A criminal at arrest time has the “right to remain silent” which is not an option for any of us - - - , as our Doctors have been forced by the damn Federal Government to betray us over our very loud protests.

Class Action Law Suit anyone?

Might be something for Senators Cruz and Lee to file on our behalf ?!

Here are a few “settled” facts:

* Since Obamacare was re-written by the SCOTUS, it is not the same bill that both Houses of Congress voted on, or Obama signed into Law.

* Therefore, until the changes have acheived “The Advice and Consent of Congress,” the revised law is invalid, by standards set forth in the US Constitution and the rules of both Houses of Congress.

* In effect, Traitor John Roberts voided the same Law that he tried to save.
