Betsy McCaughey made a great point tonight in an interview with Mark Levin, noting that the Affordable Care Act that was passed by Congress, signed by Obama and upheld by the Supreme Court is not the same law that Obama is currently imposing on the American people. McCaughey says that with all the changes Obama has made to ACA, it is now nothing more than a ‘distorted little piece of the Affordable Care Act’ and says it doesn’t have the status of law because it’s not what they passed:
MCCAUGHEY: I have the Obama health law right here in front of me and I think about how different what the president’s health reform today is from that law. I hear the Democrats say all the time ‘well it was passed by Congress, it was signed by the president and it was vetted by the Supreme Court.’ But what the president is imposing on us today is not the Affordable Care Act.
LEVIN: Stop! Stop! That is a very important point. Wait a minute, Congress passed, the president signed, the Supreme Court upheld…and your point is since then Obama has changed the law and nobody and nothing has passed on that. Brilliant!
MCCAUGHEY: Oh yes exactly. He has stripped the employer mandate, income verification, caps on out of pocket expenses, over half the statutory deadlines in the law. So now he’s had this very distorted little piece of the Affordable Care Act and he’s tacked new things onto it, 1472 waivers. And how about this new subsidy for members of Congress that he weaseled through without congressional approval. All of this means that this reform doesn’t have the status of law.

Thanks much for finding, posting and pinging me to this. This needs to be sent to EVERY Rep in DC!!
Ping.
This is like living under Hugo Chavez in a third world tropical shytehole. This is what the Jug Eared Kenyan has brought us along with his power mad white liberal minions all centered in the Imperialist Capitol DC
Then what is it? An executive order?
Obama has selectively altered the law, lied and cheated to get to where he is.
The first bill that passed is unconstitutional in my mind.
If Obama himself argued that IT IS NOT A TAX, and it passed on that basis, should it not go back through the House and be passed as a Tax after Roberts crapped all over the law?
Thanks for mentioning it on the other thread which others might want to read.
‘Enforce it vigorously’: New Obamacare lawsuit aims to bring down law...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3073636/posts
The lawsuit, filed by Dr. Larry Kawa, claims that the regulatory changes violate the Administrative Procedure Act and go beyond President Obama’s constitutional powers.
Shall we deem it passed ,as presently constituted ?
or not ??
exactly. obama is making his own law.
NOT!!
And they used parliamentary tricks like reconciliation to overturn a majority vote.
“All of this means that this reform doesn’t have the status of law.”
And that has stopped them ... when ?
Duh, what House? They could have been all over this if they were looking out for us. I believe they all WANT it. Listen up wage slave.
He has altered it time and time again.
FUBO!
A fair point.
Obama has changed the law so that it is not the original law as passed, such as special exemptions, delays, regulations that were never part of the law.
I would like to know how did the 29 hour work week come about - was it a regulation or in the original Obamacare law.
Mark Levin takes callers. At around 12 minutes Levin says it is redistribution of wealth - which is the real problem.
It is an anti-American, socialistic, Communistic Scam.

boehner and co better realize it. it’ll be their heads on the block later if they don’t fight for the Constitution now.
Obama is sticking a fiscal gun to businesses head, that is how.
Now that he got them to flinch he says he won’t pull the trigger for another year.
Who’s the terrorist here?
Cornyn is toast.
As the Varsity Flight household has stated for years. This is a clear violation of The Civil Rights Act, violates discrimination laws just for starters. It is also as written clearly DURESS, also violation of civil and criminal law.
