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.

As I noted on another thread, when the DemocRATS get through this country won’t be worth a single bunch of bananas, so we WON’T qualify as a banana republic!

PATRIOTIC RESISTANCE

[JustPiper]

On March 21st, we will march on Washington, DC to demand immigration reform and economic justice for all Americans. Our vision of reform includes immigrants and native-born U.S. citizens working shoulder to shoulder to achieve better wages, working conditions, and labor protections, and of an American that’s back to work, with a fair balance between main street and wall street.

People from all across America will lend their voice in the fight for reform. We will come together as one voice on the National Mall for a strong America – for families, for workers, for businesses, and for security.

This is your march. American families cannot win immigration reform or real economic justice without you. Immigrants and native-born U.S. citizens must work together to demand real change.

Help spread the word about the March For America by downloading this flyer: March For America (PDF) or by posting this handy widget on your web page or blog.

Here are just a few of the organizations sponsoring the March For America:

Bill Passes in Virginia Exempting Residents from Mandated Health Care

Richmond Times: Virginia’s General Assembly is the first in the nation to approve legislation that bucks federal health care reforms by banning mandatory health insurance coverage. Without debate, the House of Delegates voted 80-17 Wednesday to accept Senate amendments to a bill that supporters say preserves Virginia’s prerogatives as a state. Thirty-four other legislatures have filed or proposed similar measures rejecting health insurance mandates.

Would you do me a bug favour Arthur?

Post SECT 124 in it’s own post, I need to read it

[freekitty]

Boy, do we need good leaders.

[JustPiper]

Shoot FReepes will teach them & PROVE their communism, just the beginning of this thread alone is proof! Then if you look at the Reps. I’m up to Bobby Rush only, IL only, but so far, there is so much communist dirt on their hands

[stephenjohnbanker]

Well, that Russian scientist(non-commie) was right. The communists took over without firing a shot. 40 years of leftist indoctrination in our public schools and universities.
And a “dumbed down” apothetic public that refused to do 2 hours of personal research on their computers.

[stephenjohnbanker]

From forbes:
“The combined unfunded liabilities of Medicare and Social Security—the federal health care and the pension programs for the elderly—are $107 trillion, seven times the current GDP. Meanwhile, Medicaid, the joint federal-state health insurance program, is consuming on average 21% of state budgets, their single biggest ticket item even before ObamaCare dumps another 16 million people into the program, expanding the Medicaid population by 25%. Beyond that, state and local government have promised their employees a trillion dollars more in pension and other benefits than they have funds to deliver. “

Well, there you are. Impossible to pay for.

“their single biggest ticket item even before ObamaCare dumps another 16 million people into the program, expanding the Medicaid population by 25%.”

These are highly optimistic numbers for Forbes ;-)

White House backs down on health bill deals

House Democrats Short on Health Care Votes, Clyburn Says (220 AGAINST per FNC) House Democratic leaders still do not have enough votes to pass health care reform, the chamber's top vote counter said Sunday, even though the administration is aiming to have the bill passed this week.

House Panel Pushes Forward With Health Care Maneuver---The House Budget Committee Monday initiated the process that will allow the Senate to consider health care reform under special rules which ban Senate filibusters and require a simple majority to approve the measure.
