Healthcare Act will fail OR we will have revolution
Thought | 24 October 2013 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

Posted on 10/24/2013 9:53:34 AM PDT by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin

Simple statement: The Healthcare Act is going to fail from sheer incompetence of implementation OR we're going to have revolution if they get it working and force it on the American people. Once people see how much it is REALLY going to cost, you will not be able to make them accept it. More than likely it will fail and Congress will wisely repeal it.

I hate making either/or choices, so can I have both?

Unfortunately there are too many people with careers invested in it. Do you think Pelosi (Have to pass it to find out what's in it) would vote for repeal? Do you think Harry Reid would even allow a repeal bill to come to the Senate floor? Do you think Obama would sign repeal legislation? It will fail, but getting rid of it won't be easy.

I heard this recently, and it makes perfect sense. It likely will not fail to a finality. Congress seems to attempt a stream of “fixes” on legislation that continues the debacle in perpetuity.

Hospitals, Doctors, Radiologists and other Specialists even Pharmacists and Assistants will all go out of business. Six to eight month wait for insurance payments? Can’t work. There aren’t enough rich people to fill the beds or pay for services. Who the hell can afford the deductibles? My Rehab Center is very worried. That little payment is at the bottom of the barrel already with insurance policies. Everyone at my Orthopedic Center looks very worried. This whole thing will kill 1/6 of our economy!

Just look at all the $|-|:+ the government has forced on the American people over the past 20-30 years, if we haven’t risen by up, we aren’t likely to ever.

Single payer is the goal.

The 49% who adore their leader will not blame him for the problems (Limbaugh theory); they actually believe he knew little about the problems it would pose.

BUT, if that’s the case, how come Benghazi Barry knew enough to hand out waivers from this debacle to all his minions MONTHS ago?

Barry merely awaits the calls from his idiot base to “save” them from an awful situation.

2nd only to the media, the Barry-Idiot-Base is America’s worst enemy.

Oh that is just plain silly. I thought we would have had a revolution in 2009 when Obamacare was jammed down our throats on Christmas eve at midnight after buying Bart Stopid and his Blue Dogs. Americans are never going to shut off their sports and porn and take to the streets, never ever. Those of us who want to are definitely in the minority - the election of 2012 proved it. In normal times Zero would never have won re-election, with how many millions having departed the work force, notwithstanding what Zero claims is the unemployment RATE.

Not just careers....do you think Soros wants to see his 0Scare investment (aka Dim payoffs) fail?

Wait until folks realize what is really in this bill. I believe the attitude will change. Can't blame it on Republicans any more. They fought intensely to try and defund it and stop it, and failed. The Democrats OWN this one.

Revolution box checked. It is not just Obamacare, the Fed. Gov. is to darn big. Only revolution will diminish it.

There won’t be a revolution.

Best case, is that the electorate upon seeing the cost, will throw the democratic party out of the senate and white house.

Worst case, is that they will get on the phones and complain, and the democrats will work with RINOs to somehow fix it or reduce the pain.

Worst Worst case is that the democrats will reduce the pain by dramatically increasing subsidies, worsening our country’s financial situation.

It will fail, but getting rid of it won't be easy. Quite true, especially the more employees in auditing,enforcement, etc.
Do you think Obama would sign repeal legislation? Who cares ? I think the people will let their voice be heard, or take to the streets.
Do you think Harry Reid would even allow a repeal bill to come to the Senate floor? He will especially if his fellow Dems are in jeopardy . The best way to defeat this Obmination is to have people UNDERSTAND what is in it, and how it impacts their families; we have already seen the effect on employers and industry !

Below is a little known reality:

Shoppers applying for private health coverage through the marketplace have to pay their first monthly premium before they are fully enrolled. Their first payment must be made by Dec. 15 for coverage to take effect Jan. 1.

This payment could probably destroy Christmas in two waves:

It could destroy Black Friday which has evolved in Black Thursday to Black Friday to Black Weekend and the week after. Many of our female relatives buy most if not all of their Christmas purchases during the Black Friday/Week. A few of them have been told not to plan on it until they know the monthly costs of ObozoScare and the new deductibles.

A big Dec 15 th check to pay for ObozoScam Care, may kill the regular Christmas time shoppers like yours truly and 99% of our male relatives and friends.

Now most of us who will have to pay more haven't the foggiest what our $increases/month will be. Of course another big negative Zinger in the wood pile, what will our yearly deductibles be in 2014 with our increased monthly premiums for Obozoscare/scam for everyone in our families.

Hopefully, the CEO's of any company depending on Black Friday/week sales and normal Christmas time sales will start leaning on the rats in Congress to do something.

Time to cue our graphic art people to start showing the Obozo, Reid and Pelosi Grinches stealing Christmas via their Obozocare/scare bs.

Worst case is that they'll "reduce the pain" by heaping some more debt on our grandchildren.

Truer words have never been written.

Then you add how Democrats want your guns and have been retiring good military leaders and putting in new ones.

Marshall law could happen if the people riot over this or later over the eventual austerity.
