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.

Never made it. Got to the outskirts and had to turn around and come all the way back. There was no way to get through where I was. A lot of people had to turn around and go back. I think they deliberately put up construction signs and other things to stop people from getting there. It was a horrible mess. I just logged back on a few minutes ago. I am just exasperated and really, really hyper right now. Almost 5 hours wasted.

Virginia was first, and it appears Idaho will come in second.

Stupak has cancelled his press conference today, which would indicate that the deal is dead. Pelosi couldn’t make it work.

In google, an advance search can help you exclude words from searches [such as 2010 to go back in time], you can find multiple exact phrases, and you have the “or” option.

You can narrow a search rapidly. But due to some kind of spam programming, they are now trying to spam in a “fair and balanced” viewpoint and wash out the truth.

Medicare fix would push health care into the red
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2475287/posts

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional budget scorekeepers say a Medicare fix that Democrats included in earlier versions of their health care bill would push it into the red. The Congressional Budget Office said Friday that rolling back a programmed cut in Medicare fees to doctors would cost $208 billion over 10 years. If added back to the health care overhaul bill, it would wipe out all the deficit reduction, leaving the legislation $59 billion in the red. The so-called doc fix was part of the original House bill. Because of its high cost, Democrats decided to pursue it separately. Republicans say the cost should not be ignored. Congress has usually waived the cuts to doctors year by year.
