Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]
Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

Posted on 01/25/2010 11:27:02 PM PST by 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.

PART II

The Democrats have wrought a mess: Confusion. Chaos.
Strife. Division. Rage.
And they love it.
States are already readying suits over the constitutionality. Citizens are up in metaphorical arms. Senators are drawing lines:

Mark Levin interviews Dan Benishek – Bart Stupak’s Republican Challenger

Democrat Congressman Bart Stupak was the sellout Congressman who caved in to vote for the socialistic, government-run health care bill in exchange for $700,000 in kickbacks.He betrayed the American people. He betrayed the Constitution and his own Congressional Oath.
The Tea Party Express is now heading to Stupak's district to take him out of Congress. We'll not only hold tea party rallies in his district - but we'll also be launching a campaign to defeat him.

Stupak: Yes, there’s nothing to stop Obama from rescinding Executive Order

Bart Stupak aborts reality

If I’m correct and healthcare melts down [the 15% rule], clinics and hospitals will lose revenue and go out of business very quickly. Emergency measures will then be considered. Healthcare is now in crisis mode, just as we had thought it would be. We need to hang every future problem around the rats’ necks.

Another thing about the 15% rule, if that is suddenly fixed, we need to consider insider trading by the rats. Hillary did that with pharamcuticals. First she talked about regulating medicine. She and her cronies bought up stocks at base bargain rates. Then she backed off on reforms and sold her stocks at a profit. That’s insider trading of the worst kind.

If Obama suddenly rescues health insurance companies from 0-care incompetence, it would be a good idea to remember this:

Blast from the past [1993]

http://www.independent.org/publications/article.asp?id=184

One of the more notorious examples of political blackmail in recent years involved the Clinton administration’s proposals to impose price controls on doctors, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry as part of its failed plan for socialized medicine. Once price controls were proposed, reported the New York Times, members of Congress and the president were “receiving vast campaign contributions from the medical industry, an amount apparently unprecedented for a non-election year. [snip]

It was also widely reported at the time that the handlers of Hillary Clinton’s not-so-blind trust were selling her pharmaceutical stocks short every time she made a highly publicized speech demonizing the pharmaceutical industry, which she did quite often. During the Clinton health plan fiasco of 1993-94 the value of pharmaceutical stocks dropped by over $40 billion, according to one account.10 After the industry poured millions of dollars into the coffers of Washington politicians the price-control plan was defeated.

Just heard on a local talk radio show that the dems are introducing a bill that will allow CONVICTED FELONS the right to VOTE....this would trump any state laws forbiding it. H.R.3335.

First I heard of this.
